Ease of Use
With both saws offering easy bevel and blade height adjustment, the ease of use comparison focuses mainly on the rip fences. Once the Bosch's rip fence is attached to the table, it moves smoothly across the table when unlocked. But unlocking the fence requires a bit of hand muscle. You can adjust the clamping pressure to alleviate this, but make it too loose and the fence may wobble out of square. Modifying the fence locking lever, or using a cheater bar (such as a push stick) works reasonably well.
The DeWalt's rip fence is easier to unlock, and can be moved by hand or with a fine-adjustment knob. In addition, when we changed the saws' bevel angles, Dewalt's locking lever was a bit easier to toggle, and a smoother pivot made it easier to zero in on the desired angle setting.
