This saw has a really good blade. The kerf is great,I have used mine all year without a hangup or blade bind. The blade is thicker and higher quality than the one I looked at at Lowe's. I think it will serve your purpose very well. Hope this helped.

Sounds like this saw may be just what you need. It's very simple to operate and the blades don't easily break or come loose. It has more than adequate power for most wood projects. I actually used it mostly on fiberboard but some wood and a little bit of thin sheet metal. It did everything I asked of it except cut a straight cut which all depends on the operator. If this is in your price range I think you'll be quite satisfied with it.

This would be a good saw for that type cutting..it's very easy to use and I really like the ease to adjust the saw

i am probably not the one to ask about this saw. i really don't care for it and have since purchased an alternate unit. my problem with saw is different from yours, but still ends in the same result of an unsatisfied customer. good luck

YES. I've used mine that way just recently. Great pole saw. AND LONG ! I use it for my Palm trees which are quite high.I must add.....after reading other answers, that you will NOT have much leverage, because all you will have is thetop silver part. BUT, I made out fine. It's Not in place of a "Pruning Saw".

I reccommend you buy one of the larger LXT batteries. It is worth it. Don't expect this saw to replace your corded saw however, because the rpms are less , but it sure is handy for lots of occassions. Allen R.

sort of heavy and not worth the money. mine would not start right out of the box. when i tried to get the saw serviced, was informed that poulan does not warranty the cheaper saws.save your money, hit the flea markets and yard sales. find a saw about 10/15 years old. those were great saws. mine will not cut a 2" sapling side aways, but will cut some if you have your log/climb 90 degrees to the bar.

I don't have any experience with cutting vinyl siding with this saw, but I would say, after cutting wood with it (one handed, by the way), it should do the job. I can't say what kind of edge it would leave, but I think it would be better than that of a regular circular saw, as the "teeth" are actually adhered silicate(?) particles. I see no problem with one-handed operation, but it it is not quite as easy as with a regular hand saw. The saw is essentially a large Dremel tool. Note well - use the vacuum attachment if possible or work in a open space, as this saw really produces dust. Hope I have helped with your decision. I would buy this saw again. For the reconditioned price, it's a steal.

Yes I do. Matter of fact I used it today. I resawed some 5 1/2 cherry. I also have resawn red oak. It does a good job but you'll need a different blade than what comes on the saw. I bought a resaw blade from highland woodworking. It has plenty of power to do what I want it to do. I don't think you should have any trouble sawing maple as I also plan to resaw maple myself. All in all I've been very pleased with the saw. Its pretty heavy so if you plan on moving it much you might want to put it on a set of rollers.

I would strongly suggest another type of saw if you want miter cuts Miter saws are available for about the same price. This is a specialty saw mostly used for undercutting door jambs or straight cuts on wood and plastic. Cutting miters would be hazardous without clamps and a firm grip is essential. It has a lot of power and goes through 100 year old oak easily.

I have this and the Felco F310. For general work I prefer the F310. I am in my 60's and have a smaller hand. I can go for a few hours with the smaller one. I use the F-6 for thicker rose canes and heavier branches. The Felco's are the best pruners I have ever used.

It's honestly about the same size as a hatchet and not terribly different from a hatchet. It's going to out chop and generally out perform something like the fiskars x7, but only because it has more leverage and weight. This is a good tool, if the only thing you plan to do is chop, hammer and kill. It's pretty bad at splitting, not designed for it. If your only concern is its chopping ability, this will out do anything in the under $40 price bracket. If you want to do other things for the same price, get a husquvarna or something.

I use this saw on tenon and general cuts. The 9 tpi side is somewhat course as a rip blade. I haven't found it useful for what I do. If I was buying again I would think about the single side blade with about 15 - 17 tpi.

It is an excellent choice but you should get the additional blade for "dry wood." The one which comes on it is for "green wood." This saw really powers through stuff. The off brand ones, which you see in hardare stores, just are not in the same class. Seriously. I take this on group camping trips and the knock offs, which other folks bring, cannot compare.

Yes, it can be used to trim palm tree fronds at appropriate angle. Just make sure to take safety precautions first. Don't overreach.

I agree with Gordon...the saw I purchased went together perfect and the performance was as well. Only thing I can think of is that it was damaged at manufacture or while being shipped. What size tile are you working with and how far out is the cut?. You might call Bosch and see what info they have for you. I am very pleased with the saw, it is built very well..only thing I thought was unnecessary is the plastic splatter guards, useless and only get in the way.Also....for those of you who don't like the available stands for this saw I have an option. I also purchased the Bosch Easy Up and with some inistrute, metric bolts made one killer saw/ stand combo.
