The Smart Guard System is the first ever quick and easy-to-use modular blade guard, anti-kickback pawls and riving knife system; provides superior control over the material and maximum visibility while cutting. Engineered for maximum trueness, the ‘Square lock’ Rip Fence glides along the rail at a finger’s touch or locks into place for solid and consistent cutting performance. Easy set up and take down of your table saw; heavy-duty construction and 8 pneumatic wheels allow the Gravity-Rise stand to handle the toughest jobsites. Integrated Sub-base increases tool life by handling jobsite abuse, while protecting the table saw’s base. Built-in sub-base and tabletop carry handles add to the saw’s portability from jobsite to jobsite. On tool sto more info

Excellent Saw but…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
the blade it comes with is a complete joke. Before I got the saw I ordered a Forrest WWII blade (thin Kerf) and did a side by side comparison, it was eye-opening. Needless to say the performance of this saw with a quality blade turns it into something on par with a hybrid saw performance.
Overall the features and fence are excellent. Mine was dialed in nicely from the factory, so there wasn’t much time spent adjusting anything. The performance of the saw is fantastic, cuts incredibly well and the fence is excellent for a portable saw.
It’s no secret that when it comes to table saw a portable saw is a series of compromises right out of the gate compared to contractor, or hybrids and cabinet saws. But this saw is a borderline exception, and with a quality blade becomes more accurate, more stable and easier to use. If your in the market for a portable saw, don’t compromise by getting a lesser brand, this is not the tool to try and save money, table saw is the place to put your money and skimp on some other tool.
Great saw for home handyman

This was the first large piece of equipment I have bought so I shopped carefully. I purchased this for a 500+ square foot random width and length oak floor installation. Big job for me. This saw was hugely beneficial. Great blade and power — very clean cuts (even after all that use still cuts like butter). The wheeled stand is the ideal combination of portability and stability. Some of the required safety features are annoying but not too bad. With the optional table extensions this saw is very versatile and the best value for the dollar I found.
Very nice table saw

This is our first table saw and it meets all our expectations. Bosch makes great tools and this is for sure one of its best.
If you think you’ll own a home for decades invest in this tool!

At 58 I’m done trying to save a few bucks with low end tools. I was about to buy a Craftsman to install our third laminate floor. But a common theme across all table saws was the hours spent in setting it up. I read NO such thing about this one. First thing I noticed is the well engineered zero gravity stand. This alone is genius. The soft start motor gets you 4 hp on a 120vac line.
I ripped laminate flooring as thin as a matchbook cover the entire length of a given board, amazing. I am not a carpenter by any means but this tool will serve the Home owner for decades. The built in vacuum hose attachment is great and the safety features a also great. My old table saw was a 7″ Craftsman, belt driven over 50 years old and shook like an earthquake.
Invest in fine tools and your projects have a head start for success and the rest is up to you. Did not spend hours setting up anything. I used a machinist ruler and a square and the blade was so close it could not be measured and it is good enough for me.
Buy for name brand or invest for known quality the choice is yours and mine was very clear after using this one.
Hope it helps out you folks looking for a quality product and minimal hype. My second Bosch product and the quality shows even to the layout and storage of its tools.
Excellent service, great product, okay pricing

The first unit arrived in about a week, badly damaged in transit. I refused delivery based on the extreme state of the packaging, and the fact that I could see damaged parts inside the box – I did not want to take any chances on whether a precision tool could have survived that much trauma. I took pictures of the package with my phone just in case, and insisted on getting a copy of the shipping document, on which I wrote in large letters, “delivery refused due to shipping damage.” Then I contacted Amazon – who could not have been more professional and apologetic, and – are you sitting down? they sent me a replacement by overnight air, that arrived the next day. Think about that for a second – a 124 pound box delivered on a palate via next day air service – incredible. In order to avoid the 4-hour home delivery window (and excess handling), I made arrangements with the shipper to pick the package up at their distribution center, which was conveniently located, during my lunch break.
The saw itself (and stand) were easy to assemble, and intuitive to use. Fit and finish were good right out of the box, although a reasonable amount of typical adjustments were required. I expect to get many years of service out of the saw, which will be used for non-professional hobby woodworking in my garage shop – I have owned Bosch tools in the past, and have never been disappointed. The fence lines up reasonably well, and like with most table saws of this type, one should always measure from the fence to both the front and back of the blade before committing to the cut. And though the blade supplied with the saw was not too terrible, I did also purchase a high quality Freud blade – I will keep the factory blade though, just in case I need to do some cutting that might be excessively hard on my expensive replacement blade. I also bought the outfeed and left-side extensions, and recommend them for cutting wider material more safely.
Finally (and this is why I only gave 4/5 stars) although the 599 price including stand and free shipping seemed competitive, I was disappointed to find the same package deal at CostCo a couple of weeks later for 499. Granted there would be sales tax, and you could argue the membership fee (if that was the only item you ever bought from CostCo – which is not the case for me) but the loss of 70 dollars or so did sting a little, especially since Amazon does not price match – plus the fact that I could have gotten it locally with an essentially unrestricted return policy, and would not have had the shipping problems or initial wait time, and could have picked out a perfect looking box from the stack. All told however, I am happy with my new saw, and will continue to buy tools on Amazon, but will obviously need to spend more time researching prices locally.
Pretty Decent Saw, Fence Sticks a Little
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The Bosch saw seems to work quite well for a table saw. I’ve had it for about a year. It’s easy enough to move around because of the stand, makes straight cuts, and is reasonably adjustable. The guard is easy to remove if you need to, the blade is easy to change, and it’s easy to adjust the angle of the blade.
This was my first table saw (since the one I used with my dad as a kid), so I don’t have too much to compare it to. I can say that adjusting the fence is a bit cumbersome – it doesn’t want to glide smoothly for me. Not a big deal, and may be par for the course with table saws.
The only other negative I can think of is the way the stand works – you have to bend over to lift the bar to wheel it easily, and raising/lowering it isn’t the most intuitive thing in the world (I almost never drop it down as it just stays in my garage).
The saw itself works/cuts well. My wife used it with little difficulty (she made some bookshelves). You’ll want to replace the stock blade on it, though. (After doing some research, I got a Forrest Woodworker I 10″ 60 tooth blade. Just got it and haven’t used it yet, but it’s supposed to be an exceptional blade. I installed it in the Bosch with no trouble.)
I bought the saw locally instead of on Amazon, but I’ve bought other big-ticket items from Amazon before and haven’t had any trouble.
I have no regrets on the purchase, and recommend the saw. You can only buy quality once – it’s worth it to spend a little more to get a product that you’ll be able to use for years than some piece of junk you’ll have to replace.
As a final side note – I also have a DeWalt Double-Bevel Compound Mitre Saw (DW716, I think. Absolutely love it, by the way.). It gets much more use than the table saw – it’s much more frequent for us to have to make quick/small/angled cuts than for long rips. Make sure you’re getting the right tool for what you need.
Overall pretty good saw

The saw was shipped via freight in the Bosch box. Normally this bugs me, but in this case Bosch has bombproof inner packing with lots and lots of custom styrofoam pieces. No issue in my case.
Assembly was quick, about 40 minutes for the saw with no surprises. Another 45 to align and adjust, with most settings being correct right out of the box (had to adjust bevels).
The digital fence install and setup took another 40 minutes.
Pros:
* Love the gravity rise. #1 selling point
* Great guard system. I have always thrown guards away, this is my first one that actually stayed on the saw for a month.
* Love the integrated storage for fence, push stick, cord, etc.
* Saw power seems fine for this class, has done everything I would expect. Could be a bit smoother sounding though.
Cons:
* Digital fence not as smooth as it could be… fence has a fair amount of “stiction” when digital fence is added on. But after a month or so I am still using it.
* In my opinion a $600 saw should come with a better blade, maybe I am old fashioned. The stock blade will quickly become my scrap cutter special.
* Saw is just a bit more plasticky than I had expected. Even compared to my old Ryobi which went up in smoke this year. Plastic base is okay (and lightweight). But a stiffer handwheel would have made this feel like a much higher quality rig.
nice saw

I’ve only had it about a month and have only been cutting pine, but I’ve found little to criticize. It is precise and solid. With a good Freud blade I’ve been cutting thin 8′ pine strips as little as 1/16″ across with great accuracy and very smooth cuts. Seems to have plenty of power and – for me a key selling point – excellent safety features: riving knife, anti-kickback pawls and blade guard, which are easily attached and removed.
So if I were to criticize:
- a little play in the t-slot miter gauge. Probably not enough to create noticeable inaccuracies though.
- no locking mechanism for blade height. But I haven’t seen it shift yet, although it may get looser with time.
- doesn’t direct sawdust down chute very well. Tends to spray it all over the place, including face and eyes – make sure you wear wrap-around eye protection. But then this is probably typical of contractor saws.
- kind of a tight squeeze to get blades on and off the arbor. I’d be ok with this if it increased sawdust control, but it doesn’t.
Overall though, I’m very happy with purchase and would recommend it.
do not buy this saw!

I am a licensed contractor with over fifteen years in the trades and I am sad to report that this tool is the biggest lemon i have ever purchased in that time! Firstly, this particular saw gave up the ghost( that would be a failed armature) after only 14 months and less than 50 hours of use. How convenient for me that the magic 12 months of warranty were behind me when this saw died 2 months later. As a professional I am compelled to maintain my tools and keep them in good working order for obvious reasons.
All my equipment is cleaned after use; vaccummed or blown out with compressed air so a build up of sawdust etc. cannot be attributed to the aforementioned failure in the motor. My other complaints about this saw even before its meltdown are its lack of practical ergonomics and quite possible the worst ripfence system ever devised!
Older models of this saw used to include a collapsible stand that broke down flat like a card table and was great for jobsite portability. The gravity stand, while it may look like a cadillac on the sales floor is a cumbersome beast that requires attachment of the saw to the stand with four bolts and makes moving the saw independent of the stand impossible without their removal. Every time!
While I acknowledge that hardly any ripfence is 100% true even from the factory, the fence on this saw was abysmally out of square from the get-go. The fence clicks on and off the saw table and is locked into position with a tension knob at the rear of its length. Even wrenched down there is so much lateral play in the thing that the operator is forced to measure the fence to the blade at two points and repeat the process with any change in the dimension of stock desired.
Bosch tools are like too many other products, made exclusively in Taiwan and now riding on the cache of an old name. There is simply no excuse for such lousy craftsmanship on a tool that is price pointed where this one is! Save yourself the indignity of being the next poor shlub to write a long winded rant and buy a friggin Delta!
LOVED IT I BOUGHT 2

I bought my first table saw a year ago and it cuts 4/4 oak like butter. I bought another one last week just for dado work and portability. The new one comes with extras and is really handy.
