I have now a collection of Bosch power tools using the same batteries and they all work a treat. This is no exception and it is happy working hard all day. It easy to use and accurate in its cutting
I needed a circular saw and as I already had a Bosch drill with a spare battery it made sense to buy this one. It works well for what I needed to do and made light work using the guide to rip several 2.4 mtr lengths of timber in half, ( it would have killed me trying to do it with a hand saw ).
Does a brilliant job, could do with a little bit more depth of cut but otherwise very pleased with purchase.
I’ve been using this for a few months now. It’s good that it’s portable. I have a lot of other Bosch tools, so it’s great having the batteries already etc.
However, on a thick piece of wood or wood with knots, it conks out. It can get through quite a lot and it’s pretty tough, but it’s not the most powerful.
I’d still get it again I reckon, it’s not the end of the world and you just reset it and go again and it gets through it, but it’s a bit annoying so I thought I’d share.
I use it for a lot of things, so I’d still highly rate it for general jobs. It’s one of the best power tools I’ve purchased, but if you’re doing a LOT of work with it, you might want to consider something with more powe

Very good saw. I wish I had got one years ago.
Just what I need. Can now buy full boards and cut them to fit in van without waiting for b&q or wickes to find qualified member of staff to use saw machine.
Cutting using the built in guide is accurate and I’ve also used it with a track fence and it cuts dead to the line, none of veering that other people have reported. Checking with a square the blade is true back and forth. I use 4ah batteries on the whole and battery life is good with them. Blade is a fast cut rather then precision but even so it leaves a pretty clean cut. Swapping the blade for one with more teeth would only improve matters I’m sure.
My only gripe would be the sawdust goes everywhere, but think all saws are like that, I’ve not tried to connect it to a vacuum which might improve things.

Great saw my second one so far used it to cut laminate flooring would definitely recommend. Easy to use safe and compact.
Have had many corded circular saws in the past with varying successes. This knocks the spots off them all by a mile.
This circular saw is so handy for small jobs and the batteries from my Bosch drill fit it ,which is a bonus, I haven’t yet come across the accuracy problem mentioned in some reviews, but being lightweight it is easy to manoeuvre, highly recommend.
I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but it looks well made and like it will las
Not as powerful as other BOSCH TOOLS, but does the job
As mentioned in other reviews. the hinges and brackets used to angle the cut need some oil and working hard to ease them but otherwise a really useful saw, I already had other Bosch tools with the same battery so didn’t need another battery and charger.
I already had a Bosch 18v drill with 2X18volt 1.5amp batteries, only complaint is 1 battery might cut 20-30minutes light timber. So I bought a 2.5Amp battery lasts slightly longer.
Ideal for chopping firewood ,pallets etc battery which is seperate has good life on this
Bought this so I could take the saw to work rather than work to saw. Useful to if buying oversize sheet materials from timber supplier.
Earnt is money back on the first job. Great, versatile tool
Easy and straight forward to use, cuts smooth and accurate. The fact is comes without a battery, wasn’t a issue as I have other products from Bosch in the same series (all use the same battery).
It’s ok the blade could of been deeper to cut thicker wood
I bought the circular saw initially to make my own planters for the garden out of spare wood. The saw made that task easy. It is light to use, accurate and powerful enough for diy jobs. I have since used the saw for many different tasks and I am pleased with its versatility.
a angood addition to the work box for the small jobs and quit accurate
The saw feels solidly built and is very useful for cutting laminate, plywood etc. The overall circular saw blade diameter is 65mm so you need to be aware that this is suited to cutting material which is 15mm or less in thickness because the depth adjustment only goes to15mm. The saw comes with a plastic carrying case which is a bonus and 3 different circular saw blades included. Very different from a jigsaw in the sense that the circular saw blade is set back some way from the line guide at the front of the saw. Gives a nice clean cut.
The saw is great piece of kit its lighter than expected given the size. Also if you have the 4 in 1 batteries which I did from my Bosch drill purchase, once running it cuts MDF and Plywood easily. The only draw back possibly due to myself being left handed is the difficulty of starting the saw up each time due to the safety feature of pressing 2 buttons together and was only able to start it up using my right hand fingers then switching the machine with the buttons depressed to the left hand, other than than cutting wood is a breeze once its running
I made the mistake of buying a bandsaw at first, to cut laminated flooring. Then came to my senses and saw this at a good price, my effort level has reduced with the simplicity of this tool. Really do recommend this for flooring and thin panels.
Feels back to front to a corded. But good for small jobs
I like the mobility of no wires that get in the way. Not as powerful as the bosch mains cutter.
I had the same issue as other buyers. I had to insert 2x1mm washers to align the blade. Not happy as should be good to go out the box and a real shame as I wasted a few cuts BUT besides that the saw is great. Good weight.
lightweight and powerful, i use it mainly for cutting worktops and bottoms off doors, good tool!.
This was the biggest load of crap I’ve ever bought off an Amazon don’t touch it it’s rubbish absolutely useless
I have two corded versions of the handheld circular saw. So I put off buying a cordless. That was stupid of me. Such a difference. lighter, easier to use and effortless. I’m not a professional carpenter, more like a competent DYI chap. This is an excellent product. Incidentally, the warranty can be extended to 3 years by registering ownership. Exceptional value for money. Just used it to build a 16 x 10 shed. No cables to trip over. Fantastic.
I was planning to keep my corded saw for the bigger jobs. But there is no need at all.
I was amazed at the ease with which this cuts. Goes through cls like butter.
Not only do I not have to keep my corded rip saw, I won’t be using my chop saw anymore either really.
If you are thinking about getting one of these don’t hesitate get it now.
I also bought the pks55/66 dust box which does go on, but most of the dust goes on the floor anyway. I’d guess as the blade spins much slower than a mains version does. And attaching a vacuum hose takes away the benefit of it being cordless.
Still it will fit (I actually have mine upside down as the 18v saw body is opposite to that of pks55/66) for 10 it’s not bad anyway I guess.
But all in all I’m one happy bunny
I was using this to trim flooring. It’s very accurate and gives super clean cuts. However if it bites on the end of a plank etc it’ll jump like a sod. No accidents or anything because you should always use caution when using any tool but especially true with a circular saw.
Overall very good tool, but limited uses due to the small size of the cutting blade.
Takes no prisoners, chomps through fence posts like they were butter. Need 2 cuts due to the depth, but a great saw
i feel that this should be highlighted more on the operating instructions, BOLD CAPITALS would help, as someone could be seriously injured if blade comes into contact with an arm or leg
I used my Bosch drill battery to power it. You will need a battery and charger of some kind, but if you already own a Bosch tool (18v) the battery should fit. Check to be certain.
I used it to cut half a dozen 38mm worktop pieces and also 30 metres of skirting board on one charge. Pretty impressed by it.
Both the 90 degree and 45 degree settings worked perfectly. Depth setting and angle setting easy to set.
Some comments about inaccurate cutting along a straight edge by other users, but I didn’t have any problem.
I fixed a batten on the kitchen worktop and cut without problems.
For the price I don’t think you can get a better deal.
Very pleased.

Bought as u already have 2 other items using same batteries.
Wins ok once alignment fixed.
Not sure if the point really, if you want versatile saw better off with those that are more like the firm if sonic saws as because if potential high liars any heavy work will quickly deplete batteries .
Batteries being interchangeable the only real benefi
Fantastic! Easy to use, quiet for a saw, lightweight and gives percision cuts. Comes with a small tooth blade that us super easy to change out should you need too.
I used this to construct a 10x10ft shed and it worked well on thick timber to sheet wood. Batteries, which are sold seperatly, held up for 3-4 hours of regular use with this saw.
Excellent product for the price. My joiner even agreed it was ideal for domestic work
i have many power 4 all tools. this is my new besty ! easy to handle and cuts beautifully.
Make sure you have the larger capacity batteries as it son eats through them.
Very happy with the purchase
It works well and saves a lot of time and effort in wood works.
Ideal for DIY, but would want a more powerful motor /battery if using on a daily basis
I got this saw to replace a cheap old saw I have had for years, it gave up suddenly half way through a job. I already had a spare Bosch battery I got with a Bosch drill, so it was a no brainer. I works a treat, and a lot quieter than the old one it has replaced. lighter and easier to handle. No complaints.
Bought to put down loft boards and made light work of it. Supplied blade produces a quick and clean cut with little effort. As with any power tool of this type, eye and ear protection is a must as it’s noisy in a confined space and high speed debris is to be expected, so if you don’t have these already, buy them at the same time.
Excellent value and shares the battery of other Bosch products. This is an effective and powerful saw for cutting up planks of wood or sheet material
Light and easy to use I have been more than surprised by the quality of the blade on this machine but would recommend a min of 2.5ah batteries.
Good little saw that I use for cutting oversized wood that will now fit in my car from the builders merchant.
I love this saw it is so useful, brilliant for cutting 2*4 or big OSB sheets, make sure you set it all up straight with your own squares though if you want accuracy, lasts surprisingly long time on one 2ah battery.
I would suggest that a hose/bag is purchased with it (and battery ‘natch) as it makes a fearsome mess.
Have had to purchase full size circular for loft boards and other thick wood, but I kind of knew that when I bough
great little saw, ideal for cutting flooring along walls, recently used to cut ceramic tiles with the supplied blade and worked grea
Really good for everything I use it for. I like the precise setting of cutting depth, which worked wonders removing some dry wall. Only if it was 18mm max depth instead of 15mm it would just be that much more useful.
Only used it once, to trim about 8mm from the bottom of a door. Worked a treat, cut in a straight line! The interchangeable battery is great, as I have a couple of other tools in the same range.
Quality you would expect from Bosch.
Very good and precise saw. It’s nice not have cables in the way
It’s a very useful addition to my power for all 18v kit.
Great addition to my cordless power tool collection, and works extremely well on the 18v lithium batteries from my Bosch drill
Cuts through word easily. The guide is very helpful for cutting in a straight line.
Great product cuts quite a lot on a charge with the slightly bigger 2.5ah batteries. Money well spent. Shame there isn’t a proper carry case for it tho
Absolutely Brilliant, only drawback Bosch only do 2ah batteries for this unit,COME ON BOSCH.You will Have to buy BLUE to get Higher o/p Batteries.
Wonderfully convenient to be free of wires. Has ripped through what I wanted. If I had heavy duty or extensive sawing to do, I would use a corded saw. Works fine with drill batteries.
Excellent. Very powerful and makes clean cuts. Guide plate does require care to make sure it lines us with blade correctly.
Brilliant little machine precise and powerful enough for them little jobs, been using this for a while now wouldn’t be without it.
handy bit of kit. Very useful for sawing through palm tree branches. No trailing cord a definite bonus.
great bit of kit I just need a larger capacity battery as it is fairly hungry
Xmas gift for son. He is delighted with it. Pity the charger etc was not included
Very good little saw.An asset to any carpenters tool kit.
This is the best toy I’ve bought myself for a while, handy little machine.
Present for my husband,he’s more than happy with it.
Great for those jobs when bigger rip saw is just too big.
To give your context to this review: I was given a Rolson mains powered circular saw which, to be honest with you, scares the bejesus out of me every time I use it. It’s large, damn noisy, not particularly accurate, very unergonomic and has no motor brake, so takes several agonising seconds to spin down. I’m always scared of cutting the cord, a finger or my leg off! It’s also complete overkill for most of the jobs (usually trimming panel doors after a new carpet had been fitted!). The cordless Bosch saw we have here is the exact opposite of the one I mention above. Granted it won’t do for huge amounts or large workpieces, but for doors, floorboards, fences etc. it’s spot on. I bought it with the fast charger and mid level 2Ah LiOn battery. Very happy DIY man.
Great product, especially if you (like me) use other Bosch products sharing the same power source
Great saw and great price. Was here within a few days of ordering.
As per usual Bosch didn’t let me down. I did buy the 2mh battery to give a bit of extra umph. Highly recommend.
Perfect little saw, comfortable to use and seems very well made
Excellent piece of kit and runs well on my 1.5 ah batteries
Brilliant piece of kit. The blade doesn’t seem to spin quickly, but it sure has the power to slice through thick wood boarding with no fuss. Use with 2.0 AH battery. Nicely balanced in the hand and a quality feel.
Great product,
Just what I was looking for,
difficulty finding it in the shops , but Amazon had stock, delivered the next day. fantastic .
I had just bought a Bosch drill with charger and 2 batteries so when I saw this on Amazon, and having a current need, I got one. Went through 22mm Cedar I was using to build a garden gate beautifully, and more importantly, the guides do bear more than a passing approximation to where the blade should be heading, unlike many mains driven versions. Freehand cuts along nothing more than a pencil line were satisfyingly accurate and achieved in double quick time without the inconvenience, and danger, of trailing power cords.
The only reason I didn’t award a 5 was because the first unit delivered had been opened previously and seemingly unused, returned for re-distribution. I had no idea if it was the genuine article or a Chinese replica replacing it, so as the seal had been broken I sent it back. Bad practises from whoever sent the first one.
Great piece of kit. Good clear guide windows to keep a straight-line. Easy to use straight out the box.
I bought this for cutting laminate flooring, perfect cuts all the time, and very easy to handle.
Good:
– Easy to use, powerful
– Makes plunge cuts in many materials with no problems.
– You can cut bricks with the ceramic disk which is included. Useful for starting off a back box for a socket, better than an angle grinder for this
– Makes nice, straight and clean cuts. You can be pretty accurate with it – I used a sharpie to make the marks on the side more visible.
– You can attach a hoover which is good for reducing dust
Bad:
– Does not go very deep. Not deep enough to cut all the way through most Ikea furniture. But it can get most of the way, and you can finish with a handsaw which is very quick.
– You cannot cut very close up to a wall i.e. perpendicular, because the blade is a fair distance from the front of the saw.
Overall however, excellent little saw with many uses fr the DIY enthusiast, probably useful for pros as well.
Had it a week and have used it twice.
Lovely feel although the line to follow when sawing takes some getting used to.
Great addition to the 18 volt Bosch series of tools.
There are cheaper ones one the market but I would pay the extra money for the fact it’s battery powered. Also have other items that use he same power pack.
Super little saw does what I want it to but I thought with Bosch you would get everyting but you dont you have to buy extras as acessories also the instruction manual is not very good recomend that you go on line and se the Bosch film.
An excellent product ,it does small jobs very well which is why I brought it .So I am really pleased with it.
