A Tool That Does It's Job [Posted on 2002-11-18]
I purchased this tool while remodeling my mothers bathroom and bedroom. It was purchased for cutting moulding and other small things. Works great and the miter is very correct. Everyone that does finish work of any kind should own one of these.
Great tool---New blade supplier? [Posted on 2002-12-06]
This is a great tool. I am using it for cutting the bottom of door jambs while installing ceramic flooring. My only difficulty was finding replacement blades. I found them reasonably priced at [another website].... Apparantly Amazon[.com] only wants to sell the tool and not the consumables.
Where have you been all my life? [Posted on 2003-01-07]
A very clever tool with magnificent performance! This isn't a replacement for your circular saw or Sawzall (tm). But when you need it, absolutely nothing else on-the-market will do the job. Easily cuts through even when you need to begin your cut mid-sheet or mid-board -- with no pilot holes or wasteful pre-cuts. Surprisingly powerful, yet easy to handle even in awkward or confined spaces. I've never purchased a Bosch power tool, so can't yet comment on reliability. Regardless, this one is a real winner.
Bosch 1640VSPKG worth the money at the right price [Posted on 2003-02-19]
I received my Bosch 1650VSPKG via UPS yesterday. I was impressed with the speedy processing and delivery of my order (ordered Friday and received on Tuesday). The price was to my liking with a $10 coupon plus FREE shipping. The small manual was printed on less than quality paper, but the instruction were straight forward. The first thing I did was fine-tune the blade alignment; needed was a small T-square, small crescent wrench and a blade screwdriver. I recommend permanently mounting the miter table attachment to a solid surface to eliminate viberation [that are likely to be caused by the loosening of the furnished mounting clamps]. Another suggestion would be to construct "extention wings", i.e., 6" to 12" on each end of the [pemanentaly mounted] Miter Table, to handle and stable the excessive lengths of wood. I don't think the Workclamp is adequate to sufficiently hold the wood being cut. I'd suggest using a pair of hand spring clamps to do this job by clamping them over the Workpiece Fence holding the wood to be cut. Replacement blades are available on a couple other websites. There was about a $2 differents per blade between the two websites I located. The only drawback of this packaged deal was the flimsey carrying case. But, I can live with that.
Comes to the rescue! [Posted on 2003-06-02]
I am a professional remodeler and have just about every tool on the market. I don't use it that often but this little saw comes to the rescue when no other can do the job. It's great at making perfect cuts on wall trim while the trim is on the wall (a rotary tool, sawzall, circular saw can also do this but with less accuracy) . It is very powerful for its size. The only drawback is that the blades are not designed to cut through metal (old houses are full of hard nails in unimaginable places) but a sales rep indicated that they are working on a metal cutting blade. All of my friends in the business are amazed at this saw and I can't understand why they all don't own one. Good job Bosch!
