I bought this for two reasons; 1) I have always rated Bosch as a brand & 2) this particular model comes in a heavy duty storage case, which many do not. The saw was delivered just in the storage case with no packaging, so there were a couple of slight mark on the plastic case on delivery. The saw itself is easy to adjust (cutting depth and angle) and use. It also comes with a cutter blade that is already fitted, so it can be used straight out of the box. As per other reviews the only down side to this saw (which doesn’t really bother me) is that it doesn’t have a brake, so it takes a few seconds to stop rotating before you can put it down. Great circular saw though.
Powerful and does what is says on the tin. Recommend.
This is a excellent tool for the money, used out the box no setting up would recommend no problem
I have been using this saw for the last year or so. Great to use. Not to heavy. Very easy to use….
Apart from the Allen key falling off the tool body all the time,it’s a great tool
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.
Fantastic product, as you’d expect from bosch professional products. Excelle
Well designed, safe and easy to use. Cuts very swiftly.
Working with this skill saw is pleasure!

Excellent saw Bosch have made a good product bought for cutting sleepers and cuts no problem
Second one of these I have purchased.
First one for myself, second for my dad. What more do I need to say.
Delivered very quickly does the job I bought it to do that’s all I could ask I’d buy agai
As expected from Bosch professional, an effective tool, worth the money
Really like this saw always used makita saws this saw seams to be more powerful
Everything that you’d expect from Bosch. Would recommend changing the blade to an 80T for superior cuts on Ply wood or MDF. Totally recommend this product.
Great product. Good control. Easy to use and set. Top buy.. One of the tools I use the most and still goes strong
I love this Tool. It’s well balanced cuts clean and accurately although extraction attachment is easily knocked off
Nice piece of kit. I’ll have to change the blade as it’s pretty coarse, and I want to use it for joinery work (making furniture).
Bought as a present for husband. Very pleased with quality and price.
Great tool, well put together and easy to adjust. Very powerful. As with all circular saws – use carefully. Comes with a ripping blade, not used, as purchased a Bosch cross cutting one for the project. Would definitely recommend.
A little heavier than some but all the power you need to go all day, hopefully backed by Bosch reliability.
awesome ,powerful and just what you expect from a leading brand very happy with this item
The only downside is that it cannot be used with the Bosch guide rail.
Cuts fence panels, posts etc like butter. Box is bulky though, but that is due to the size of the saw.
Bought this for my son-in-law , we are installing a new laminate floor and a new kitchen so lots of cutting including skirting boards reducing in height. He is massively impressed.
Great bit of kit. Blade is rough saw will need to replace for fine work came fast in a solid case very happy. Good price.
Very powerful with a good depth of cut. My last circular saw was an attachment for a Black & Decker power drill ! Very satisfied.
Astounding. I’ve sometimes thought about getting a circular saw but I’ve always put it off because of the expense and the amount I thought I would use it but now I think why did I wait!
I’m a novice but cutting is so much faster and easier, and straighter, than I imagined (the included guide rail makes this effortless). I’m now kicking myself thinking about all the time I’ve wasted straightening up the uneven lines I cut with a jigsaw, this makes my cuts more professional by comparison.
I was a little peeved it didn’t come with the Allen key that is supposed to be included (I have surplus ones anyway so not that big an issue but a definite oversight on behalf of Bosch) but, pleased it came with the dust extraction adaptor that the manual says is an accessory, however, you’ll need to supply your own dust collector (whether bag or vac).
I should have got one of these a long time ago, still, better late than never.
The box is very bulky and takes up a big chunk of shelf space, but holds the saw very securely.
I can see this saw coming out many times over the next months as I fix another fence, build some furniture and lay some decking.
I have had an opportunity today to use this to flatten the line of a fence. As can be seen in the video it is useable from the awkward left direction and it gives an excellent cut despite wet wood. I apologise for the hint of a builder’s…
The extractor-hose adapter has to be clipped on to the saw, this seemed a little tricky to get it securely attached, however once attached I’ve left it on, dust extraction on circular saws is never brilliant anyway. The saw comes with 4m of rubber mains lead, nice and flexible, I put this over my shoulder when I am sawing. Handles on the saw allow for a good solid grip. Adjustments are clear and easy to make, it doesn’t have a laser line but that isn’t something I’ve needed as I almost always use the fence.
This saw has plenty of power and the supplied blade ran through some one inch planks with ease. I’ve also used it, with the supplied blade, to cut some kitchen worktop, which it did with ease, a beautiful clean cut with no chips. The supplied blade is a general purpose rip, blade change is with the standard Allen key and one is supplied, clipped to the saw. Blades have the standard 30mm centre hole so no messing with adapter rings.
Overall a powerful, competent saw.
It comes with one blade (installed) and a rather large storage box. While I’m sure the box will protect it very well, it does make the whole thing take up rather a huge about of space, and yet it’s still a bit of battle to jam the electric flex and one spare blade into it. Also, the instruction manual is not very good, covering hundreds of languages and so being rather difficult to flick quickly to the relevant page in English.
These minor quibbles aside, this is a very good saw which I’m happy to recommend.
It comes in a solid and very sturdy case. The saw itself is heavy and powerful. I used it for cutting plywood and some decking. The guide meant that I was able to maintain a beautifully straight edge although the supplied blade might need to be replaced by one with finer teeth if the finished cut is going to be on show. But that’s about using the right blade in the highly impressive piece of kit.
It is a corded saw but to generate this amount of power I think that’s necessary. A battery which pushed out this amount of power would have to add greatly to the bulk so I think corded is the answer here.
The things I like about it are:
1. It comes in an excellent and robust hard case, which you would expect with a professional power tool like this
2. The saw is very well made, having that “engineered” “solid” feel that Bosch are renowned for.
3. As you would expect with a new blade the quality of cut is good with little or no splintering, however it comes with a general purpose blade, and finer blades will obviously give a better finish.
4. The motor is powerful enough to cope with even demanding cutting jobs.
So is it all good?
Well, this is an incredibly capable piece of kit, and it is what it is, a corded powerful saw that can be used all day.
And there is the only problem for me – corded.
I am so used to cordless power tools that the cord is a nuisance.
It would be very unfair to criticise this very capable piece of kit for being corded, and in all other respect, comfort, control, accuracy, quality of cut, power this scores 10 out of 10.
This is an excellent piece of kit. The power from the 1400 watt motor is great and although the supplied blade is not ideal for fine cutting I could tell that this is going to be an easy to handle and therefore accurate tool. It is reassuring solid at just over 4kg. The bevel up to 56 degrees is best in its class. It turbo blows the dust out of your way if you are not attaching an extractor (accessory included). It also works for left as well as right handed. To cap it all the supplied case is strong and well designed. This is truly a professional tool at a DIY price. I really can’t fault it. I’m off to buy some more blades.
For a long time I have used cheaper power tools, including a circular saw from a well know DIY store. So when this arrived I immediately unpacked it and put it to use – what a difference.
The saw is a good weight and extremely well made. The supplied blade is a general purpose one, but in truth it is more of a rip blade. For more delicate work you should use a blade with more teeth. That said, the quality of cut and the accuracy of this saw is far better than my old cheaper ones. The motor is powerful (1400w) enough for almost anything and the whole unit is compact enough to allow for good control, making it easy to cut a straight line – although I prefer to use a guide for accurate straight lines.
The saw comes in a heavy duty carrying case, making it easy to transport and store away after use. It has an outlet for waste sawdust and you can fit a workshop vacuum to it, making the job of sawing far less messy. However it is almost impossible to stop all the dust so if you need, wear a mask. The saw is adjustable height wise and it locks well into position.
I admit I do have a couple of Bosch power tools already and in time I shall be replacing all my cheap power tools with quality ones like Bosch.
great piece of kit v well made usual bosch high standard
Brought as a present. Very well received now my husband want one as value for money.
