I really like this tool. It has a somewhat narrow range of applications. I wouldn’t bother trying to use it to rip stock nor would I want to use it to do a lot of cross-cutting of 1″ hardwood stock. Get a table saw and miter saw if you have those applications in mind.
What it excels at it is cutting trim stock. I’ve used it quite a bit to remodel some bathrooms in my house. As someone else mentioned, it’s a life-saver when it comes time to undercut door jamb trim for fitting tile (or any other kind of retro-install flooring, like Pergo). After trying several other options (Fein multi-master, handcut), I was so happy to discover this Bosch saw. It made an otherwise unpleasant chore much easier. I would say that it paid for itself in this one task. It’s also good for fitting trim stock in tight/unusual spaces (notching moulding around other millwork or fixtures). Gives a much better cut than a recip/jig saw.
I haven’t had any problem with dull blades. I also have seen them for sale at the local orange big box home improvement store.
“Flush Cutting” means the blade literally slides on the surface and cuts protruding wood to that level – e.g., I’ve used it on many a stud poking out too far. Of course, you can cut above the “surface”, as when shortening door-jambs because you are now installing ceramic tile. In such cases, this little gem of a tool is a God-send. I’m not aware of a competing electric tool, and although a manual saw could work in a pinch, this saw does a much better and faster job. The flush-cutting blades are quickly reversible, so you can cut right to left or left to right; depending on which is more convenient. Accessories include other types of blades, with rougher teeth or for ferrous metal (aluminum, brass, copper) cutting.
The 1640VS has no tool case.
The 1640VSK includes a [fair]case, a [lousy] miter “box” accessory, and several excellent clamps.
The saw is mainly for remodelers or serious do-it-yourself types, since it’s a speciality saw you won’t use every day. When you need it, however, you’ll be mighty glad you own one. Highly recommended.
I purchased this saw to cut back baseboards to accommodate new door trim. This saw saved the day! It quickly cut through 3/4″ baseboard stock. The saw produces a very fine, accurate cut with very little chatter. The blade can be moved to either side of the saw body to satisfy right or left hand cuts. It is relatively quiet as well. This saw is the only tool I found that can cut baseboards (or other trim) without having to remove them. It enabled me to cut 28 baseboards in about 3.5 hours; try that with a back saw. I’d recommend it to anyone.
