1. Bosch Power Tools 4100

The collapsible stand that comes with the Bosch Power Tools 4100 (around $529) makes it one of the most portable options on the market. It's an excellent choice for a busy job site, but it can just as easily fit into your garage or professional workshop.

2. Skilsaw Portable Worm Drive

The Skilsaw Portable Worm Drive (appx. $353) is a brass geared model that delivers an impressive amount of torque for its relatively low price. An aluminum build keeps it lightweight, at under 50 pounds, so it's easy to transport, if needed.

Rip fence is self-aligning
-1 to 46-degree adjustable bevel
Reliable anti-kickback system

3. DeWalt 10-Inch 32

When not under load, the DeWalt 10-Inch 32 (appx. $499) boasts a top speed of 4,800 RPM. It can cut through filler and floor boards with ease, and its rolling stand gives you the ability to take it just about anywhere. Its rip capacity is an impressive 32.5 inches.

4. Makita 2705 10-Inch Contractor

The modular blade guard system on the Makita 2705 10-Inch Contractor (about $528) allows for tool-free adjustments, so you don't have to go scrambling around looking for the right wrench just to make a new cut. Its 15-amp motor offers plenty of power.

5. DeWalt 10-Inch Portable

6. Bosch One-Handed Jobsite

The Bosch One-Handed Jobsite (about $379) boasts a 5,000-RPM top speed under no load, which can really tear through wood. Its rip capacity is kept a bit on the small side, though, accommodating just 18 inches, in order to make this model more portable.

Fence is occasionally misaligned

7. Skil Folding 10-Inch

The "EZ view" measurement system on the Skil Folding 10-Inch (around $201) helps to ensure that you can make consistent cuts to exact specifications. The table extends to a maximum length of 32 inches for working with large pieces of lumber.
