Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am actually surprised at the negative reviews for this saw. I've had mine for a few weeks now and would have to say that I am very happy with it. The alignments are right on the money and I absolutely love how all the accesories store underneath the saw. It doesn't come with the best miter gauge but, then again, what saw in this price range " does " come with a decent miter gauge? Even the blade that comes with this saw cuts pretty well. I have crosscut and ripped and cut plywood with the included blade and they have all come out with better than expected results, not perfect, but pretty good. I don't think that I could expect more from a $400 saw. It's not comparable to a $5000 cabinet saw but it only costs $400 so that is to be expected. The fence is true, the blade is 90 degrees and if you invest in an aftermarket miter gauge ( like an Incra ) you will have a saw that can give you very accurate results. I love this saw, well worth the money and I bet that it is probably the best made TS in this price range. Way to go Bosch...:). 6/19/2011 update: I just wanted to mention that after having this saw for a few more weeks that it has performed flawlessly. I ripped a 2" thick piece of hard maple a few days ago ( about 3 rips total for the board ) and it chewed that wood up without a hiccup...:). The saw has plenty of power and even with the stock blade you can get real nice rips and crosscuts and the wood has a pretty good finish on it when you're done. Still needs to be jointed but the finish is pretty good. I'll add another update in a few more months. Thanks for reading...:). 3/25/2012 update: Just recieved the latest copy of Wood Magazine and noticed a review of this saw and they give it 5 out of 5 stars in the review. The issue is 211 ( may 2012 ) and it's on page 80.
