Factory-Reconditioned Bosch 1640VSK-46 Fine Cut Finishing Saw Kit with Miter

by Bosch

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new conditions. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Flush cutting, freehand cutting, and miter cutting--so many cuts, so little time. The Bosch 1640VSK 3-1/2 amp precision saw cuts wood, wood composites, and plastic materials. The saw's ultra-fine teeth provide smooth, tear-free cuts while the flex-resistant, high-alloy steel-blade guides provide accurate guidance. Other features include a quick blade-change system, ergonomic design for compact comfort, and blade mounts on the left or right side for excellent visibility and total versatility.

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned Bosch 1640VSK-46 Fine Cut Finishing Saw Kit with Miter (Tools & Home Improvement)

Excellent tool, precise, and easy to use.
Blades are relatively fragile and somewhat costly to replace..and are hard to find.

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned Bosch 1640VSK-46 Fine Cut Finishing Saw Kit with Miter (Tools & Home Improvement)

Not a perfect tool by any means, but very useful in a wide variety of applications. Compact with an extra long cord and adjustable speed control.

Need to do an undercut at a doorway? This is very easy to use.

Probably use it more often than I should, given the cost of extra blades, but it is very handy if you are doing moderate complexity remodeling or building. Have used to quickly cut drywall (put a hole through wall for air-conditioner, nice, fast way of cutting drywall), plastic pipe, undercut doors, mitre door trim (without the box actually). ...

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned Bosch 1640VSK-46 Fine Cut Finishing Saw Kit with Miter (Tools & Home Improvement)

The best best part about this trim saw kit is the kit, though it lacks adequate instructions for safe use of the clamps and so on with the well built mitre box. Bosch should spend a bit more time at the drawing design board installing a true variable speed control into this tool. A vibration reduction system (they can use some lessons learned from their jig saws) would be welcome also, because this Bosch 1640VSK-46 as currently built vibrates as much in cutting pine as a reciprocating saw vibrates in cutting steel tube. Pass this saw bye, save your money unless you're able to integrate a speed control or Bosch integrates a speed control into it.
