3.0 out of 5 stars Bosch Power Handsaw, May 12, 2002

I bought this saw to cut off the bottom of door jambs which this saw does very well. I was very disappointed with the miter box attachment, you have to clamp every piece that you cut and if you don't it vibrates the wood that you are cutting, as a finish carpenter i found this attachment to be worthless, but it did great on the free hand flush cutting. Overall it's worth the money but the miter attachment is going to be collecting dust in the corner of my workshop.

This is a great tool. I am using it for cutting the bottom of door jambs while installing ceramic flooring. My only difficulty was finding replacement blades. I found them reasonably priced at [another website].... Apparantly Amazon[.com] only wants to sell the tool and not the consumables.

I bought this for cutting picture frame molding, and I have been completely satisfied. This product provides an alternative to the larger, louder miter saws. Of course, it can't completely replace the miter saw, since it will only cut through stock less than 2.5" in width. I used this saw to cut through picture frame molding at 45 degrees. I used the fine blade, and it quickly cut through, producing a smooth, tear-free joint. This is a good product if you don't have the space for a miter saw, or you need something more portable. It can also be operated freehand, but I have yet to try that.
