No issues here. Does what it’s meant to, doesn’t impress but doesn’t disappoint. The extended guarantee is comfort.
Sadly doesn’t support guiding rail, but one of the deepest cut for this price. So all it all good.
Easy to operate with one hand and heavy so it does not move of line when cutting
Powerful and does what is says on the tin. Recommend.
Nice and quiet saw, very easy to setup and get going and with the new blade you ca tell the difference if you’re cutting through air or chipboard, very smooth going and easy to cut
Unit came with a case which I wasn’t expecting so was a lovely surprise although it probably was mentioned in the listing but I missed tha
So far its really awesome
I havent expected to be so smooth but its really the best piece I had so far
I hope will last long
Im using it to make cuts in hardwood like oak and walnut and its really a smooth and easy cut
Update after 2 years, still same blade and still working exceptional and very happy with it.
Great piece of tool.

Very easy to use and can do bevel angles that most saws cannot.
Standard blade gives an excellent quality of cut even for fine work.
The carry case is good quality but big still at least it comes with one.
This is an extremely powerful saw that is likely to give many years of useful life. Very impressed and would highly recommend.

upgraded to this saw as I needed a deeper cut, 70mm achievable. Slight kick when starting but fantastic in use and made my fence project a breeze!
Easy to use, very sturdy and fast. Long enough cable for any job. I have bought this circular cutter to do my decking and it just the right tool to use. Very good handle grip and a strong storage box looks very professional. I would recommend that for anyone.
Only used once so far but great product as always from bosch and great price.
Really pleased with this saw. Previously I had an old black and decker circular saw attachment. With this Bosch saw I can cut smoothly and cleanly and I am already thinking about more items to make. Very happy.

Bought the saw to build a 3.2m x 3.7m pergola with all straight cuts and scallop cuts, mitre cuts of various angles and also, depth of cut. These various adjustments were very easy to use and I used the parallel guide to long cut 6ft fencing slats. I wished I had bought this last year for other tasks I had. It made light work of the large amount of cuts I had to do.
I felt it was value for money compared to Screwfix etc, but was a bit upset when receiving an email from Amazon a week later asking would you like to buy again with a price drop of 20%
I also bought the Bosch sawdust collection bag which worked fine to keep the work area clear just needed to empty it regularly.

Bought mine when it was on offer (75) and overall I’m happy with it. It complements my old B&D saw which is 10 years old and showing its age. The Bosch is definitely lighter and more manageable but nothing remarkable – I don’t like the safety button on it though. Don’t get me wrong the feature itself is a must but I just find the design here a bit fiddly and causes some faffing which is not ideal when using a hand-held circular saw. Maybe it’s just me. I did ponder for quite a while whether to get this one or the Makita but the near 35 difference at the time was enough to sway me and I’m sure this one will do admirably. I’ve registered it and got the 3 year warranty which is a nice bonus as well as a very nice plastic case which I’ll probably never use.

Gave 5 stars as looks like a solid piece of equipment, not yet used
Delivery very quick and its awesome when you need the portability. I’m working in the loft cutting loft boards. It save having to bring it out of the loft to cut using my hand saw.

My old Hilti saw gave up the ghost so I was in the market for a new saw. Hilti don’t make the model I had anymore and there new model is not up to scratch. Spent a lot of time on the internet looking and finally picked this Bosch. First day I cut 300 metres (yes 300) of 4×2 studwork, piece of cake! For the past month I have used it everyday and it is a dream to use. I’m a carpenter so it has to work hard and it seems up to the job. I’m a bit anal about power saws (as you can see). I need something that will cut timber with ease and also cut 18mm MDF at 45 degrees and this saw does it. I haven’t missed my old Hilti yet and don’t think I will. If you need a small saw with plenty of guts go for this one!

Bought this when there was a discount on Bosch. Did buy a blade with more teeth for finer work as never keen on the rip that comes with. Makes cutting a dream and straight with great depth too.

Easy to set up but difficult to set an accurate 90 deg. fence works well nice clean cut due to thin blade.
I approached using a circular saw with a bit of terror, but I found the power of this saw helpful for the applications I was using it for. I found it adjustable and easy to use (after studying all the circular saw dos/donts). I did find buying the right blades quite hard though.

Good product but had obviously been dropped as the corner of the case was crushed. Did not effect the product but when you buy a new item you expect it to be perfect.

A good powerful circular saw for diy/hobbyists provided a clean cut through 40mm softwood. Sighting the cut is not immediately clear as safety guard and guide plate obscured view, but cut follows smoothly. A good choice that hopefully will last. Comes with adjustable cutting guide and all in a large plastic storage case with handle.

Been in the building trade for a long time and owned a few saws but this is up there with the best. Great value
Had to buy this as my parkside saw motor burnt on the first use. This is really good saw and comes in a nice professional looking box. Wish the guide clamp was bit longer, but you can always use a straight wood clamped to you work piece to get the guide. Doesn’t come with a bag for dust. So attach a vacuum cleaner for cleaner work place.

I am pleased with this purchase, it arrived on time and I recommend this seller.
With this – I trimmed around 1cm off the bottom of a door when I put new carpet in and didn’t need to use a guide to get a perfect line. I simply placed masking tape on the door, drew a straight line and followed it with this. It was like putting a hot knife through butter, cut with ease!
The only annoyance is that blade shield which you have to prop up a bit when cutting something thick as it gets in the way. You can let go once the cutting begins but it’s an awkward annoyance. I’d prefer if I could adjust the bottom point but it’s a minor complaint.
The box it comes in is very sturdy as well but like all Bosch tools; the hardest part is putting the power cable back in the box so it will close properly!
Definitely recommend this.

It works well. The included blade is fine for rip cuts, but if you want to cross cut or cut plywood you’d need a different blade.
The most important omission in my opinion is a blade brake. Once you come off the trigger, it spins down in about 5 seconds, while with a brake you could instantly put it down. It may not sound much, but I find this annoying, and I’d now buy a model with an electronic brake.
This will take both 190mm and 184mm blades, although with 184s the depth gauge will be off.
Bear in mind it’s technically limited to thin blades, I believe 2.4mm or thinner. Many blades you might want to buy are thicker than that.

Standard supplied blade performed well
Before buying this I had both a B&Q own brand and Ryobi circular saw. Both my old circular saws quickly ended up in the skip having bought this and a selection of blades for this. This performs much better than any circular saw I have used before including an older dewalt saw I borrowed. So far these have produced really clean cuts when cutting ply, M.D.F, and oak boards. I have used them to trim doors and these made light work of my solid oak doors, producing straight and accurate cuts.

Was in two minds whether to get this or the Dewault, but the price swung in.
Used a couple of times and have to say, it’s an excellent saw , at a very nice price

It been good for me too, he has now made various garden items (bird boxes, duck pen etc.. ) from the ‘don’t throw that away’ pile of so called ‘good piece of wood’. His questionable ideas are now, dare I say it, a welcome reality in the garden and it’s various inhabitants are content. I, no longer have to wince at the sight of clutter that was once propping up my shed!
Thankfully, it’s a tool that gets used and isn’t collecting cobwebs in the shed.
The only hindsight issue was the cord. Always aware and extra careful, it can get in the way, Cordless will be considered in future.
Overall, a good product, arrived promptly and suitably packed.

The current model (with supplied user manual updated as of late 2018) specifies blades that are 190mm (7 inches) and a 30mm bore (i.e. you don’t need to use any reducer rings). Supplied in a clam-shell box that’s well made, using two latches on top – the box is not lockable.

Very powerful device, it works perfectly , the only issue I had so far was that the saw didn’t cut all way through to the end , maybe because of the table I used or maybe due to the size of the plywood. Overall very happy with it.

As the tech progresses I have started to buy battery powered tools, but felt I needed a mains powered device for this work. Also the battery powered ones are rather more expensive. This looks well made and if it lasts as long as my last saw (40 years) then I’ll get a battery powered Bosch next time.

I love my power tools, and have to admit to being a Bosch fan. This ripped through my wood pile as I made a window and door frame and fascia for my garage, and it made light work of it. I have noticed it kick back a couple of times, but that was more to do with me and how I was using it. As with all tools, use PPE and common sense, and this should be a worthy addition to anyone’s tool collection.

Used for a big home remodel. Happy with the purchase
Comes in a huge case and has a long, good quality power cord and a 2mm thick blade. Cuts very well and feels good in the hand, but my only niggle is the base, it’s not as rigid as I’d expected. It’s a circular saw so that’s just a minor grumble.

Not used the saw yet but it was just what I was after and it’s a great addition to my woodworking tools and it’s Bosch, enough said!
This is supplied with a quality plastic case ( not the L-boxx style) and a Bosch Optiline blade (which gives a suprisingly good cut for a supplied blade) and a hex key for blade changes. The supplied case is superior to the ‘L-boxx style’ in my opinion: it only has two latches to open, it is easier to carry ( and it makes a pretty good seat, should the need arise).
**Top tip: register your saw with Bosch online within 30 days or receiving it, and they upgrade your warranty to three years.**

Good saw only used a few times but very powerful need a finer blade for finer cuts but nice and tight actions on everything
I needed to take down some large chipboard cupboards for my mum. They they were too big and too heavy to take away in the car, so I had to have them cut down. This particular saw cuts through dense chipboard like butter and was all done in seconds. I’ll definitely be using this for other projects that I have lined up. This has an excellent safety mechanism, so that when the saw is cutting, the guard is down and the blade is below the surface. Like all other circular saws, it does have a kick-back towards the end of the sawing, be aware of this.
I would recommend protecting your ears from the loud noise and also getting a dust bag.

It is heavy though not as heavy as some others Ive used in the past. It cut true and was easy to use. As others have said, the box was massive. An Incredible Hulk of power tool storage boxes but the saw needs and deserves it. Just make sure youve got space for it. This is a quality tool that needs respect but treat it well and Im quite sure it will give many years of service. Thoroughly recommended.

Great Product,no problem
Works fine,seems very well made
I have only used this saw for a couple of small jobs – replacing a handrail on some decking – but it performs superbly.
It cuts through inch thick treated wood like it’s not there!
Seriously good, professional circular saw that cuts effortlessly. Comes in a good quality robust case. Purchased specifically for cutting kitchen work surfaces it has been first class and with careful handling cuts a nice straight line. Fantastic price too. Overall really pleased to have added this to my tool set.

Delivery was very quick, but the driver just left the package outside the door without ringing the bell. Luckily people are honest here!
