The blade won't cut but instead burns through the wood. I have followed the instructions to a "T".
i've used this bosch CS20 quite a few times since i bought it, on jobe and arround home for remodle.the only thing i could hope for is for this saw to also be battery powered as well (if that were at all possible)my overall openion is this is a great tool with plenty of power.
Bosch 1590EVSK 6.4 Amp Top Handle JigsawBosch CS20 15-Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Direct Connect
It rocks from the back left to the front right over 1/8". I read all the reviews then finally picked this one over the PCMag saw because if was $40 less.I loved using the saw at first. It has a great line of sight and is quiet and runs smooth. I put an email in to Bosch about a replacement plate but I am scared it will be the same thing and fail again after another 6 months.Should have spent a little more and got the PC. having an extra long cord is a awesome feature, but it did add $20 to the cost.but now after 6 months the base plate is warped making it a pain when cutting expensive oak plywood.
I cannot cut a true 45deg bevel with it because of this flaw. Bosch NEEDS to produce a replacement aluminum plate like all other quality saws have. I am a professional carpenter. They have missed the boat big time in this area. After 3 months the composite foot plate has warped making for gouged cuts. Bosch is going to send me another foot plate and bevel indicator but its the same material as the one I have. My 45deg locks in at 43.5 deg.
I have had my Makita saw for 24 years and wanted a change, The Bosch CS20 looked like it had some pretty good features and the balance was not bad. The detents are not adjustable. Based on this I would not recommend this saw for the serious tradesman. This is ubsat in my line of work.
