Great saw, but with some serious issues
Feb 7 2011

I'm partial to Bosch tools, so I really want to love this saw. However, there are a couple of issues with the design of this saw I just can't get past. The upper blade guard is too narrow (about 3/4" compared to 1" on my Dewalt CMS) which makes it very difficult to get a blade with a wide kerf on past the arbor nut. I'm using a 7/64" kerf Forrest Chopmaster, and it makes me cringe to drag its carbide teeth across the inside of the upper guard when I put it on or take it off. The alighment procedure for this saw is also a little tedious. You have to un-tighten and tighten a series of nuts and set screws to dial the zero bevel in, and it seems like the saw blade comes just slightly out of square as you tighten the last one, which means you have to repeat the whole process. I also haven't been able to get either 45 degree bevel set reliably. Both of these settings come around a degree out of alignment after moderate use, which is enough to open up a noticeable gap in an outside miter. I've only had the saw a couple of weeks, though, so I'm still getting used to the alignment procedure.
Other than those two issues, the saw is very well made. It comes with two material/crown stops and a hold-down clamp, which most manufactures sell separately. The upfront bevel controls, miter detent override, and 33.9 degree detent pin are also great features.

Awesome & Accurate

This saw is fantastic ! It has plenty of power & is extreemely accurate. The 12" blade will allow cutting of fairly wide pieces & cuttting trim is a snap ! The only thing bad about this saw is its weight. I believe that if it were lighter though, it wouldn't perform as well. I often use it on the tailgate of my truck - & It DOESN'T MOVE !Bosch quality at an affordable price........What More Could You Want ? Lazer mabe ? That's a different saw but Bosch has that too !

I'm a professional carpenter and this is a solid chop saw with all kinds of great features and great accuracy. The top feature on the saw for me is the upfront bevel release. This saves LOTS of time and effort when making lots of different bevel cuts, love it on trim projects. The clamps are fast and easy to use and the feed table gives you lots of support options. Wonderful saw and a pleasure to cut with.
Side note, this saw is VERY heavy and is really only portable if it's attached to a mobile saw stand. I picked up the Bosch gravity rise stand for this saw and it's a great match.
Update; I've used this on a series of major projects now and I can't say enough about the upfront bevel adjuster. It is a great time saver with your miters. Also, I've done some more Ipe work. Although the wood is incredibly heavy and dense, the saw produces clean and consistent cuts on 2x6 material.
UPDATE; Just used this and the gravity rise stand on 2 more big jobs. The beast fills up about a 3rd of my truck bed, but it's very manueverable on the ground. It's heavy, but the weight is balanced perfectly, even hauling it up steep hills and driveways or uneven terrain you can retain control. It's really a solid tool and has seen heavy use over the last 6 months with no shortcomings.
