How many amps does a table saw draw? The makers' own figures

Every jobsite and contractor table saw in the Taikra catalogue that states an amp rating lists 15 amps, from Bosch, DEWALT, Delta, Makita, Metabo HPT and SKIL. Harvey's dual-voltage ALPHA HW110LC cabinet saw lists 16A/8A full-load, while Delta's UNISAW page lists horsepower rather than amps.

How many amps do jobsite table saws list?

This page collects the amp figure each maker prints for its table saws. It lists only what the maker states and gives no electrical or wiring advice; supply requirements are in each maker's manual. Taikra doesn't rank or test tools; every figure here is from the maker's own page, linked.

Bosch lists an amperage of 15 and a voltage of 120V for both the GTS15-10 and the 4100XC-10. (Bosch)

DEWALT lists a 15 amp motor at 120V on the DWE7491RS, and names its compact 8-1/4 in. DWE7485 a 15A jobsite table saw. (DEWALT)

Metabo HPT lists a 15 Amp motor on the C10RJS.

SKIL lists a tool current rating of 15 Amps on the TS6307-00 and 15 Amp on the worm drive SPT99-11. (SKIL)

How many amps do contractor table saws list?

Delta's manual for the 36-5000 T2 series, which covers the 36-5000 T2 and 36-5152 T2, states that the saw has a 15-amp motor for use with 120-volt, 60-Hz alternating current. (Delta Machinery)

Delta's 36-725T2 is sold as a 15-amp 10 in. table saw. (Delta Machinery)

Makita's flyer lists 15.0 amps at 120V for both the 2705 and the 2705X1 contractor table saws. (Makita U.S.A.)

What about hybrid and cabinet saws?

Harvey lists a full-load current of 16A/8A for the ALPHA HW110LC-36Pro, a 2HP single-phase saw rated 115V/230V in North America. (Harvey Woodworking)

Delta's 36-L336 UNISAW page lists 3 HP at 230V, 1-Phase, with no amp figure in the spec table. (Delta Machinery)

Where a maker's page gives horsepower but no amps, this page leaves the amp figure blank rather than converting horsepower to amps. Supply details are in each maker's manual.

Range summary

Across the twelve jobsite and contractor models above, every stated figure is 15 amps (Makita prints it as 15.0). (Bosch; Bosch; DEWALT; DEWALT; Metabo HPT; SKIL; SKIL; Delta Machinery; Delta Machinery; Makita U.S.A.)

The only higher figure in the catalogue is Harvey's 16A full-load at 115V on the HW110LC, which Harvey lists as 8A at 230V. (Harvey Woodworking)
