In different parts of the country, people may call things by a different name. In my area, the Bosch that you linked is what we call a job site saw.

Cabinet saws in my opinion are over blown for a hobby shop. They are industrial grade saws. For bragging rights like owning a Corvette, but certainly are not a must have. In my opinion the Contractor's table saw has gotten an unfair rap by cabinet saw pushers, and people that buy a lesser brand of Contractor's saw, plus don't know what the correct circuit is to plug it into, have a less then great fence, and probably don't read a board before running it through the table saw. I could of bought my fathers Delta cabinet saw when he hung up woodworking not too long ago, but the Delta Contractor's saw with a Unifence, and wired up for 230 V, that I've been using for 25 years fits my needs perfectly. It's been a great saw for me. Infact I like it so much that I also have the Delta 9" version in the basement small shop, that I use in the winter, or for small quick jobs.

 

I agree with that sentiment....I have a cabinet saw  because I can. But other than being able to cut thicker wood with less strain on the motor going from my Delta contractor saw to a Unisaw had pretty much zero effect on anything I did.

LOL, a sub-contractor's saw ? Thats a new one. Just call it what it is, a job site saw, or as Bosch calls it, a work site saw.

I'd be happy to just call it MY SAW.

The Bosch 4100.....if I had the room for another saw.

Sorry Gene, unless someone has one in stock, thanks to greedy GASS, it can no longer be sold in the USA. I've been happy with my Jet contractors saw. I did put a Biesmeyer fence on it.

Al, I didn't mean the Reaxx. The "dangerous" one would be just fine.
