Bosch 1640VS Finecut 3.5 Amp Power Handsaw Reviews
I would strongly recommend this saw to anyone working with thin plywood. 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. It is important to keep the blade angle low to the cut, as their directions point out. Definitely more precise cuts than with a hand-held fine-tooth saw.
The switch is either on or off and the variable speed is a separate wheel. With the saw turned on, the operater is handling a dangerous tool that could easily cut him. Its better than cutting off all the door trim and jambs by hand but only just. Blade change is easy. If the switch was designed like a drill switch the operater would have more control and variable speed. It is unsafe as well as difficult to operate.
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. I really like this saw. Makes a difficult job easy and short.
By the time I'm done I'm nearly conked out. Use the lowest speed that give an adequate cut in order to avoid number 1. At times it can "run" away from you. Keep firm control of this thing. Some tips I feel I should give.
Well, I had to get this thing quick to save my sanity and it works as advertised. I'm in the process of laying laminate flooring in a rental property. All goes well until I hit the doorways then everything comes to a halt as I struggle to hand cut the door jambs. Great tool that has made my day. 2.
