After Maikta debacle to Bosch ...

and I was not disappointed. The saw is quite powerful for 10.8 volts and is suitable for smaller jobs. Battery consumption is compared with the GST, let the very moderate for GOP. The often criticized directional stability is also often on fixed tightening the locking screw, as this the blade is slightly curved. The Makita pontoon of straight run "out of the box" was with two devices catastrophic and therefore useless and so I have come to the blue series. Working with a LED illumination is good, the extraction useful. The number of degrees setting is not very accurate, but still acceptable. The lack of an appropriate contribution for the rip fence is ugly, but you can live with it. I also feel the hand protection made of plastic not just graceful and fear that you have to replace it early. Despite my disappointment at Makita, you can (especially the laminate sheet) recommend the saw blades since Bosch leaves a lot of time with the provision of additional sheets. It remains in the machine just whining at a high level and I can recommend this almost without hesitation.
