Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The cs20 has the composite base. When in its lowest blade height position, the motor fits snugly on the metal base plate, so no pressure exerted on the blade. The tightening screw for depth adjustment can be pulled out to rotate the handleand pushed i...  Read More

The rafter hook is a nice feature but i suspect it adds a bit of weight to an already heavy saw. For serious framing my choice is a 77 worm drive. It does have a clutch on the blade, love it.

Blade speeds up fast, and cuts easily. Blade that c a me with saw is usable. Get a higher tooth count blade for fine work and a good plywood blade you will be set for most tasks.



Cons

This explains many of the reviews describing flex. It flexes to much. I planned to set up a fence to guide the saw, this requires light side pressure on the body to keep the base running on the fence.

It is built well, easy to use, with the quality bosch is famous for.

I could not get it to detent accurately at 45 degrees.

Price


So, for around $170 i have the perfect solution.


It's a really solid performer at a reasonable price-point for what you get.


The armature was used up so it made no sense to invest $ 58 for a replacement when a brand new saw only cost $99!


I would still buy it if it was $5 more and you put in a metal part.

Packaging/appearance


Comes with a nice bag for the saw too.

Competitiveness


This isn't a crappy saw by any means, but i expected better and probably wouldn't buy it again.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The minor issue is that there is no onboard storage of the wrench despite the description stating that there is


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The major issue has to with use of detent springs for the bevel and depth of cut adjustments


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These allow the user to click the saw to stops at 22


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These preformed pieces of spring steel do not provide accurate settings you get 50 degrees instead of 45 and when you are trying to manually adjust your bevel or depth of cut the spring guide wants to pull the saw to one of the predetermined depths
