good saw [Posted on 2000-06-21]
The saw is a really good saw i think that if you are a construction worker then you should get it. All the other saws were not as good as this one because it has a better angel on it, no other saw has the 15 amp motor or the deep cut on the max angel. I am going to go with Bosch i am going to buy a sliding compound saw for a great price! If bosch could only put out another better sliding compound saw then they would sell alot more saws. The bosch saw is the best!

strong saw [Posted on 2005-11-27]
Overall, this saw has worked really well for me. I don't work with it everyday like a framer would, but i think i have put it through my own tests. It has plenty of power for cutting sheet goods and 2 x lumber. When used with a staight edge, you can make perfect clean cuts that rival a table saw. The electric brake is a nice touch, it stops the noise faster, and i guess it's a decent safety feature too.

Of all the things i have used this circular saw for, the most greuling would have to be cutting slab granite. I have cut through some of the hardest stone on earth with this saw and a diamond blade. It comes through everytime, and does it accurately. there have been times the saw has been cutting for 20 minute intervals through very hard stone. That is why i have given 5 stars to this tool.
