Reciprocating Saw Blades

TECHNICAL BLADE ANATOMY

• TPI: Teeth per inch:

Tip

The lower the TPI, the faster the blade will cut. The higher the TPI, the cleaner the blade will cut.

Taper back

• Tilt angle:

The tilt angle is the angle at which the blade cuts into the material. A higher tilt degree produces a faster, more aggressive cut. Tilt angle is optimized based on application for best life to speed ratio.

• Gullet:

The space between each tooth that collects and clears out the material being cut. The deeper the gullet, the more efficiently the chips are cleared.

TPI

Non-taper

 

• Blade shapes:

Gullet

Taper blade bodies are designed for plunge cutting, curve cuts and easier starts in tough to reach applications. Non-taper bodies offer more stability and straighter cuts.

• Settings:

Blade tooth settings vary from one blade to another to optimize cutting efficiency by material applications.

Tilt angle

• Body thickness:

Thinner blades offer faster cutting and flexibility for flush cutting.

Thick kerfs offer straighter and more stable cutting.

Reinforced tooth

• Reinforced tooth:

A wide tooth base with a smaller gullet results in a stronger tooth design.

4100DG-09 specifications

The Bosch Power Tools 4100DG-09 is a versatile and powerful table saw designed for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts. This model stands out in its category due to its robust construction, advanced features, and innovative technologies, making it a preferred choice for those who prioritize precision and performance in their woodworking tasks.

One of the standout features of the 4100DG-09 is its 10-inch diameter table saw blade, which delivers exceptional cutting capacity. The saw is powered by a 15-amp motor, providing ample power to handle tough materials with ease. The maximum cut capacity of 3-1/8 inches at 90 degrees and 2-1/4 inches at 45 degrees allows users to perform a variety of cutting tasks, from ripping plywood to making beveled cuts.

The 4100DG-09 is equipped with Bosch's Gravity-Rise Stand, which features a unique design that allows for quick setup and takedown. This stand provides excellent stability and portability, making it easy to transport the saw to various job sites. The stand's adjustable height accommodates users of different sizes, ensuring comfort and efficiency while working.

Another notable feature is the onboard storage system, which keeps important accessories like the miter gauge, push stick, and power cord organized and easily accessible. This thoughtful design element helps users save time by preventing the hassle of searching for tools during projects.

Safety is paramount with the Bosch 4100DG-09. It includes a smart guard system, which features a riving knife and anti-kickback pawls for enhanced user protection. The riving knife maintains optimal alignment during cuts, preventing binding and kickback incidents that can lead to injuries.

In terms of technologies, the 4100DG-09 boasts an impressive soft start feature that gradually ramps up the motor's power, reducing initial strain on the saw and improving user control during the start-up phase. Additionally, its adjustable bevel settings make it easy to make precise angle cuts.

Combining durability, performance, and user-friendly features, the Bosch Power Tools 4100DG-09 is an exceptional choice for woodworkers looking to enhance their capabilities. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a hobbyist, this table saw offers the reliability and advanced technology needed to tackle any woodworking project with confidence.
