The Reviews
The Bosch GTS 1031 table saw received good reviews on all the consumer feedback platforms researched. This saw seems to be a favorite with hobbyists and DIYers. Customers on Amazon rated this table saw 4.2 stars out of a possible 5 stars.
Consumers love the portability of the Bosch 1031 and rate the build quality very high. Easy adjustment and accuracy are two features mentioned by the majority of consumers.( There are some consumers that didn’t agree with this though)
There are the odd reports of difficulty with alignment and fence issues. Some contractors found it hard work to get the blade to align true on every cut. Other issues with this saw include things like sticky depth adjustment, motor vibration and fence straightness. These reports seem to be isolated cases and not across the board. One thing to keep in mind is that this is not a cabinet saw and is not build to produce the same quality of work as a cabinet saw.
The vast majority of consumers are very happy with this saw. This can be seen in the feedback it received on Amazon as 76% of consumers rated it a 4 star or higher.
The Verdict
This table saw from Bosch provides good quality and value for what it is – a small jobsite table saw. This is probably not the best saw for a cabinet maker that makes fine furniture, but excellent for the DIyer or hobbyist. It is compact, light weight and easy to use. The safety features on Bosch table saws are top notch and make this saw safer to use than most other contractor saws.
