I bought the 4100 saw without the digital readout and wanted to add this feature, so when it became available, I purchased it. It is a very well constructed piece of equipment as most Bosch stuff is. The assembly was simple and the instructions were clear and it was easy to attach to the saw. The readout is large enough to see easily and bright enough for work outside. Easy to zero and then set your rip dimension. It works really well and allows a reading for a wide rip with the sliding table feature on the 4100 and gives very accurate readings (I trust it more than my ruler now!)
The only irritation I have is the auto shutoff seems to be too fast if you are making multiple settings. You just have to hit the on/off button and it goes back to the set reading, but a little aggravating. I need to measure the time and see what it is.
All-in-all a very good investment and first quality!

I have the table extension, and my rear table extension bashes into this when it is docked on the left side of the table. Also, when the sleep mode is activiated, it does not return automatically when this is moved. Which causes you to have to re-zero the unit every time you do this. And if you start to adjust your fence after a cut and forget to wake this up, you got to got back to square one. I thougt I would use this all the time, but since my fence has a magnifer over the tape, it is quicker for me to just relay on that.

I think that this digital readout is real nice and was very easy to install.
The reason I can only give it three stars is that after I blow off the table saw with some compressed air there is a 50% chance that the digital readout will no longer know where it is relative to the blade. This is not too bad but you do have to remove the blade guards and re-zero the digital readout then put the guards back. The most trouble I've had is when the readout was just slightly off, I make the cut not detecting the error, most of the time when it loses reference it is so far out its obvious. I think this may be happening because of the low relative humidity where I live, lately it has been it the 10% range, I'm thinking that it might be an abundance of static electricity that eventually causes the microprocessor to scramble, just a thought. I have to say when this thing is working correctly it is very nice and accurate.

The packaging was excellent and I received the product on a promise day. I recommend to buy on Amazon, Definitive we are making deals with a professional.

Went together easily and seems to work well. To date, I haven't checked to see if the measurements are accurate.
