Customer Reviews:

Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0

nice tool:

Very pleased with how straight a cut I get, and how fine a cut I get in thin plywood going across grain. A little awkward to handle, but with practice I believe this complaint will go away. Definitely more precise cuts than with a hand-held fine-tooth saw. It is important to keep the blade angle low to the cut, as their directions point out. I would strongly recommend this saw to anyone working with thin plywood.

Good tool for Crafters too.:

My primary use for this tool is cutting exotic woods into pieces, to be used for craft projects. I obviously need a tool that will cut smoothly, with little or no splintering.
I find that I can get nice, smooth cuts, with a minimum of effort and time. To say it goes through wood like a hot knife through butter is a bit of an exaggeration, but not much of one. The hand tool this replaces is a back saw, which would also make smooth cuts, but more slowly and with a greater degree of "elbow grease."more info

Bosch 1640VS Finecut 3.5 Amp Power Handsaw:

Great product when installing new flooring over old. The door trim is easy to cut without removing it. Makes a difficult job easy and short. I really like this saw. Bosch 1640VS Finecut 3.5 Amp Power Handsaw

Bosch trim saw:

Its better than cutting off all the door trim and jambs by hand but only just. The switch is either on or off and the variable speed is a separate wheel. It is unsafe as well as difficult to operate. With the saw turned on, the operater is handling a dangerous tool that could easily cut him. If the switch was designed like a drill switch the operater would have more control and variable speed.
Blade change is easy.
