Bosch hand power saw with Miter [Posted on 2007-04-09]
The saw works great. However, the miter kit is a different matter. It does not give you the height adjustment for the type of moldings you want to cut. Also, the miter angles, I am not sure they are totally accurate. For small molding, I think it works. It not the best in terms of the miter kit.
Awesome saw and miter box [Posted on 2007-08-01]
I am a contractor and I use this Bosch saw regularly. We use it on the job for cutting door jambs and casings to allow flooring to fit underneath. The miter box is a great addition to the saw, especially for small and/or delicate trim. Regular saws just chew them up, but this saw makes fine cuts easily.
Not that Great [Posted on 2007-10-30]
I've read most of the reviews on this saw and had to add my two cents. I've owned this saw for almost 5 years and used it quite a bit each year - until I got exasperated with it each time. Each time I've ended up regreting using it, primarily on the bottom of door jambs where it is supposed to excel. The problem I have with it, is that it is TOO powerful and despite the appearance of being "variable speed", it isn't. It can easily rip up a jamb if you don't get it just right and you must hold it VERY firmly or it will tear out your hands as well. It does a decent job on smaller trim work, working with it in the miter box. Here the miter box attachment helps control this beast. Still, it needs a true variable speed control. It could also use thinner blades, more in line with the Japanese pull saws. The thickness of its blades and its un-variable speed make for burning of the blade and/or the jamb, as well as sticking in the jamb cut while you are doing it. I've often resorted back to my Japanese pull saw after starting a cut with this. Anyway, that's my two cents. It sounds like other do like this, but after 5 years of experience with it, I just don't use it any more because of these problems and unreliability.
bogus [Posted on 2007-12-05]
This is actually a review I wrote for the Bosch planer. But as I already had written a previous review It would not allow a 2nd one. So I am writing it here.
I think some of these reviews are fake. After cmy problems with this planer I noticed that some of the other reviews were so glowing. so I clicked on " Ted Peterson".
Surprise, surprise. He has made 8 reviews. All 8 were Bosch products!! All 8 were rated 5 star!! And all 8 were gushy in their praising of Bosch perfection. All 8 repeatedly mentioned the Bosh name and could not find ONE bad thing to mention in the performance of 11 tools. Have you ever bought 11 perfect tools?
Same for " Skip Morris". 9 reviews. 9 Bosch tools ( and nothing else). Nine 5 star reviews. Nine Bosch love affairs.
I think they work for Bosch.
Bosch 1640VSK [Posted on 2007-12-28]
Very good tool for cutting in pleces where it is difficult to reach with other tools. The miter is also good, but it is less accurate than a circular saw. The tool is good considering that is also inexpensive compared to other, more precise and professional solutions. The tool is a must have for difficult to reach places.
