Very powerful with terrific line of sight
By Tom Knox
Ive been using this saw now for about a week and I think its great. This is the first left blade saw Ive owned. I don't think I could ever go back to the right bladed saws. This saw makes cutting lumber a piece of cake, whether you're cutting 2x4s or plywood, having that clear line of sight really allows you to see what your cutting. Did I mention how powerful this saw is? This little gem of a saw doesn't complain one bit as you cut through a wet 2x. The blade guard works smoothly without binding. All the adjustments are done with levers, not wing nuts. Cutting depth and cutting angles are a snap to set up. There is also a little blade change wrench attached to the shoe. If there's one complaint its that this saw didn't come with a rip guide. That's a very minor thing that does not detract from the overall quality of the saw. I paid about $85 for the saw with free shipping which makes this saw a super value. A comparable product might go for $50 more. If you're in the market for a left blade saw, you should give this beauty serious consideration.

Nice Left-Blade Saw From a Reputable Company
By pintodeluxe
I take almost every crosscut to the miter saw, so for me a circular saw is only for cutting sheet goods so they will fit on the tablesaw, and the occasional trimming of large wainscoting panels. The Bosch is a nice saw with good cut-line visibility for right handed users. Power is more than adequate. It follows a clamp and guide straightedge very well.My only negatives are minor...1. The blade it comes with is carbide, but for framing. I switched to a 40 tooth Freud as I do with all my saws. The stock blade has a tendency to kick back, while the Freud will not. P.S. the blade goes on backwards for left-blade saws. IE: the Bosch blade is installed with logo facing outward, but Freud and other blades install with the logo facing inward.2. The saw is a little heavier than a 6-1/2" circular saw, but is has more power too. I chose this saw over the smaller versions for its ability to perform standard framing cuts. I think it weighs about 10 lbs.3. There is no safety switch. You know that little button you depress before you can start the saw? The Bosch doesn't have one. I never cock the blade gaurd back with a pencil, so it's not an issue for me. Just be careful.The construction is robust, and fit and finish is good. It comes with some nice features like an onboard blade wrench, and a tool-free spindle lock. Very Nice.

By Lignarius
Light weight, powerful. If you're standing at a cut station all day buy a worm drive. If you are up and down ladders, topping posts, doing "surgical cuts" this is a great saw. Simple design, practical.
