My first Bosch tool was the Bulldog SDS hammer drill. I bought that 7 years ago and is still a brute. I bought a Bosch jigsaw about 6 years ago, and I still love it. The radio is about 5 years old and reception on it sucks, but that's what the aux input is for. I have no experience with the cordless tools, but I have debated about the miter saw Bosch has, but think I'll go Festool. I have everything else in Dewalt, Milwaukee, or Paslode.

how is that a plunge saw? Its just a normal circ saw guided with a rail.

Nothing plunge about that. It's a circ saw that has the option of riding a rail.

I believe this one will plunge...of course we can't get it here :-(

The only Bosch Tool I've ever had was was the saw that the cord plugged in the handle. Didn't like it:no: A partner of mine dropped it once from the trusses, he pulled it up and said I think the tables bent. I said it was already bent:blink: I gave it to him at the end of that job. Never owned another Bosch tool:clap:

I liked that saw. The one i have is the wormdrive.:thumbsup: Now the Bosch sidewinders are the worst feeling saw they ever made. Ever since the 80's those saws felt like you pushing a cement block across the board.:laughing:

that no frills bosch track saw looks perfect for the deck builder in the other thread.

But the video title at the beginning calls its a plunge saw.

4100 table saw, 10" SCMS, barrel jigsaw, couple of 2 1/4hp routers, orbital sander, 10v impact and driver, laser measurerererer thing, some other stuff I've probably forgotten. All good tools. I prefer Makita for big impacts and drills though and would swap the SCMS for a Kapex. Don't think you can beat the table and jig saws though. And the 5" RO is really really good for $60.

jigasaw
power boss
impact 18v
drill 18v
skil saw?

love them all. batteries on the drills last a long time. :thumbup:

All circular saws can plunge cut. just some make it easier as they have spring loaded returns. def much nicer and easier to use a proper track saw though.

i have the 18v drill,ddh181 and there is an annoying ''trigger lag''

[Tom Struble]

No you are a hack on crack if you think that it's in the same league, not if you like it better. It's your prerogative to choose an inferior tool.

 

[TNTRenovate]

Regardless of your choosing DeWalt or not, you are a hack on crack anyway. :laughing:

See Tins, I do know Strouble.

 

[TBFGhost]

...wow, this is just ridiculous

In my small world Bosch has always been known for their jigsaws, rotary hammers and demo hammers. The Swiss and West German made Bosch tools were the best back in the day. Like most tool makers today they're not what they used to be IMO.

That's kind of what I'm wondering. The name Bosch has always been held by me in reverence (Diesel components, appliances, demo hammers). But for the prices i see them at I don't know how they can be the quality everyone's describing them as. But maybe they have different lines as well, and what I'm seeing in the flyers is the homeowner model.
