Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I own several bosch tools and have always been satisfied with the quality and workmanship of these products. This has changed since owning a bosch 4000 table saw. Right out of the box, I put it to work, from ripping hardwoods to large dado's and I must admit, I was very impressed with the strong motor and soft start. After a few months i started to have problems with raising and lowering the blade. Flipping the saw over to clean the gears, i noticed these were made out of plastic and the plate which holds these spindles are also plastic.I was always cleaning and oiling these gears to get them to operate. This plastic plate got fatigued and finally sheared off, right after the one year warranty expired. The raising and lowering gears are the heart and soul of any table saw. To make these pieces out of plastic and not replaceable(plate is part of entire body) is an engineering tragidy. Now my saw no longer functions and bosch won't fix my problem. Now im looking at Delta and buying American!
