The weaknesses of the saw are, as with all Hobby / DIY tools in detail
or in the accuracy.
For example, the rip fence. This is not absolutely parallel to the saw blade after tighten.
So you have both front and at the rear end of the saw blade remeasure the distance and the stop
straighten accordingly. Exactly the same problem, the angle adjustment (with stopper) this is relatively accurate,
however has a rather generous tolerance. The angle adjustment of the saw blade itself due to the scale
only be described as a joke. If you want to really have a close angle here, the can not help setting remeasure.
If you're thinking that was whining at a high level, which unfortunately is wrong. Whether amateur or professional, anyone who has set a 45 ° angle,
wants to transmit to on his work. That the machine can not, alas!
The test anyone can do themselves. just 4 Squares equal length provided at the end with a 45 ° angle and combine these to form a square.
Here you can see immediately which are not correct the angle. In my opinion, the part of the furniture is almost useless. Unless you use the saw
for rough trimming of eg plate material
But why still 3 stars?
Because it is not a bad saw. The constant electronics functioning.
The cutting quality, when using an appropriate blade is quite good and the price is really reasonable.
I have the same price range tested (between 300 and 500 original price) different, stationary circular saw and found the PTS 10 of the best.
If you want more precision, just have to dig deeper into their pockets.
My recommendation for those who are looking for a circular saw and not want to spend 1000: Last not touch it!
I would rather pay the money for a Festool TS 55 with guide rail.
These I bought with special saw blade and 1,4m guide rail as an exhibit to the fair price of 350.
Since I almost did not use the circular saw.
Addendum:
More recently, a comment has been written to my review and I think it is worth it here again to take it.
I have found similar weaknesses in both this and the previous model.
When purchasing this machine, I have ignored the advice of professionals, who told me exactly what I had to find myself later.
On the purchase of the above already mentioned, professional Handkreissäge followed (Festool TS 55).
Anyone who wants to deal seriously and in the longer term with the furniture, I can only recommend testing such a device times.
After that, it is very difficult to speak in connection with a Bosch PTS 10 of precision.
