2.0 out of 5 stars Bosch 1640VSK-46 Needs a 0 -2000 variable speed control
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...

5.0 out of 5 stars part time contractor., June 27, 2003

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). ...

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.
