Flush cutting pro
By A
I in truth like this tool. It has a somewhat narrow range of applications. I wouldn’t bother attempting to use it to rip stock nor would I want to use it to do a lot of cross-cutting of 1″ hardwood stock. Get a table saw and miter saw if you have those apps in mind.

What it excels at it is cutting trim stock. I’ve used it rather a bit to reconstruct a great deal of bathrooms in my house. As somebody else mentioned, it’s a life-saver when it comes time to undercut door jamb trim for fitting tile (or any other kind of retro-install flooring, like Pergo). After attempting various other choices (Fein multi-master, handcut), I was so happy to discover this Bosch saw. It made an other than as supposed or expected unpleasing chore much easier. I would say that it paid for itself in this one task. It’s likewise good for fitting trim stock in tight/unusual spaces (notching moulding around other millwork or fixtures). Gives a much better cut than a recip/jig saw.

I haven’t had any problem with dull blades. I likewise have seen them for sale at the local orange big box home betterment store.

Flush-cutting and door jamb cutting gem
By Victor H. Agresti
“Flush Cutting” means the blade in a literal sense slides on the surface and cuts protruding wood to that level – e.g., I’ve used it on numerous a stud poking out too far. Of course, you may cut above the “surface”, as when shortening door-jambs because you are now installing ceramic tile. In such cases, this little gem of a tool is a God-send. I’m not conscious of a competing electric tool, and even though a manual saw could work in a pinch, this saw does a much better and more quickly job. The flush-cutting blades are speedily reversible, so you may cut right to left or left to right; depending on which is more convenient. Accessories include other types of blades, with rougher teeth or for ferrous metal (aluminum, brass, copper) cutting.

The 1640VS has no tool case.
The 1640VSK includes a [fair]case, a [lousy] miter “box” accessory, and various splendid clamps.

The saw is primarily for remodelers or severe do-it-yourself types, since it’s a speciality saw you won’t use each day. When you need it, however, you’ll be mighty glad you own one. Highly recommended.

The Saw that Saved the Day
By Paul
I purchased this saw to cut back baseboards to accommodate new door trim. This saw saved the day! It speedily cut through 3/4″ baseboard stock. The saw formulates a very fine, precise cut with very little chatter. The blade may be moved to either side of the saw body to satisfy right or left hand cuts. It is comparatively quiet as well. This saw is the only tool I found that may cut baseboards (or other trim) without having to remove them. It enabled me to cut 28 baseboards in when it comes to 3.5 hours; try that with a back saw. I’d commend it to anyone.
