Awesome Saw,
March 23, 2009
"This is the table saw I always wanted when I went to a big-box store and it was set up. I finally got and it didn't disappoint. Sure, the price of admission is steep, but it is worth it. Everything works great. It is a little big and hefty, but it is built for heavy duty use. Every Bosch tool I've ever had is great and will continue to replace my tools with them as they need it."

Great Saw,
August 18, 2008
"For perspective, this saw is a replacement for a stationary table saw. I wanted the portability and space savings of a contractor saw while retaining as much cutting quality as possible. Others consider me a very skilled "home handyman".
While no longer a young man, I find the size and weight of this saw very managable. I can put it in the trunk of a car or in a SUV without a struggle. It is compact, especially stored on end, and allows me to take my cutting outside instead of facing the inevitable clean-up after using a stationary table saw inside. The load-compensated stand make the saw easy to set up, and surprisingly stable, although not like a heavier stationary table saw. Even the pneumatic tires are a plus, compared to some saws I considered with hard wheels.
In use, one of the first things I noticed was the feel of the moving parts. Regardless of what you adjust or change, everything moves smoothly and has a precise feel. After initial check-out and set-up, the saw has held all alignment extremely well - surprising to me for a saw that is moved around a lot (sometimes over rought terrain). I am convinced that keeping the blade aligned parallel to the fence even helps blade life.
The fence is a joy: very precise, smooth moving, substantial, stays square, and easy to use. The extendability of the table to accommodate wide plywood works very well, while keeping the fence square. The extension to support wood on the out-feed side really helps and has proven strong and druable. I like the power: first the "soft-start" spools up the blade very smoothly, then the total power available for tough cutting is great. Blade changes are easy, and there is pleanty of room for dado blades.
After bringing this saw to help with other people's projects, two of my friends have also purchased this Bosch saw. Now we all recommend it. This saw represents great value."

"THIS SAW IS A CLASS ACT IN EVERY RESPECT. DON'T HESITATE TO BUY IT... YOU'LL NOT REGRET IT! THE GRAVITY LIFT STAND MAKES IT A DREAM TO BOTH USE AND STORE IN ANY GARAGE. THE FENCE IS STRAIGHT AND TIGHT. NICE FINISH ON THE TABLE [FEELS ALMOST LIKE TEFLON]. MY CUTS HAVE NEVER BEEN STRAIGHTER!!"
