good saw -- and customer service 
2002-02-06
After reading up extensively on worksite table saws, I went with the Bosch and have not been disappointed. It has handled a variety of materials (soft and hard woods) with ease and precision.
One problem I did have was with the washers used to secure the blade on the arbor. The outer washer wouldn't fit in the inner position such that I could use a wide dado configuration. BUT this turned into a positive. I emailed the company and got a quick response and a week later received new washers -- that fixed the problem -- via express mail.
good job, bosch.
Best table saw I've ever used 2002-01-30
The Bosch is the best table saw I have ever used. The features of this saw make it stand above the others. Features like the soft start motor show that this tool is well engineered and will last a lifetime. The fence is easy to use and accurate, and the sliding table extension and out-feed support are like having a second pair of hands. This tool is definitly worth the money.
Excellent Big - Little saw 2002-01-25
This saw is typical of Bosch, top of the line. This benchtop, direct drive saw will run with a lot of the bigger belt drive saws in smoothness, power, quietness and accuracy. Excellent fence/measurement system. For a "benchtop" saw this is a lot of saw, the pictures don't do it justice, it is a nice sized machine. An excellent choice for a small home woodshop or construction site.
Bosch 4000 
2001-03-24
I was in the market for a table saw but I was restricted on space. I narrowed my decision down to a table top model. I wanted the best I could buy. My decision narrowed down to the Dewalt or the Bosch. Like others, I liked the Dewalt fence, but was open minded on the Bosch. Once I looked at both saws, I felt that the Bosch was the best to purchase. Once I got it home, I was very impressed with the way the Bosch was packaged and the overall quality. Everything people have said about this saw was right on. It is well made and has a feel of quality. The machined parts are first rate. The top of the saw is large and smooth. The blade is very good also. I fired up the saw for the first time and the soft start is neat. It is quiet as compared to other saws. I will be keeping this saw for a long time and feel I made the right decision
Plenty of power & light enough to carry yourself 2001-02-23
I've been in the building business for 25 years & have used all types of table saws. I've fought with fences bumping them with my hammer & palm measuring to the blade to be sure the fence was right. The greatest thing about this saw is not just the fence, but its the fact that I can grab this saw with two hands & put it over in the back of my truck. The saw is pricy for a portable, but I dont have any regrets about purchasing it. If your looking for one that is light & accurate buy it.
Works as good as it looks! 2008-01-28
I love this saw! The fence is super easy to move and set. It cuts super straight. No adjustments were needed. The saw took me about 5 minutes to set up out of the box, then I was off and making perfect cuts. I added the Freud combi blade. (The saw manufactures never give you a good blade with the saw.) The saw is super easy to use. It is made well and the larger table feature is a huge plus for me when I need it. When I hook the vaccumeI did not get the red stand, because it sucks. I opted for the wheeled version and am very happy. This saw is so nice, now everyone who works with me want one for themselves! It is a good inventment.
Great Saw for pros 2006-07-08
I have owned this saw for 3 years and have used it very heavily during this time. When I bought the saw, the gravity rise base wasn't available and the weight of the saw was an issue. I added the gravity rise after it became available and would strongly advise getting this great heavy duty stand with the saw.
Performance of the saw has been outstanding. I have used it for interior and exterior trim work and found the precision outstanding. Sure, it's a bit pricy but if you make your living as a carpenter, this saw is the one you can count on day in and day out.
bosch table saw 2006-06-23
I like the saw just fine. Its a bit heavy but still i can slide it into my van alone its just that the ruber handle needs wheels so you can roll it in rather than push it. If you have the grav-stand with wheels you'll know what i mean. I will have to make some kind of adapter or rest the handle on a plastic tray then lift and push it in. Also If you buy from amazon dont use eagal shiping 4 hours after it was droped off i had 2 mutts trying to break into my garage. The driver saw all my tools and made a phone call to his boys. i called the cops and eagal and my alarm company. free shiping almost emptyed my garage of tools
Why not save $450 instead and get a Ryobi or Delta 
2006-06-08
Don't get me wrong - I love Bosch saws, in fact I got the Bosch 3915 compound sliding 10" mitersaw less than a year ago on Amazon for $379 - Which brings me to my point: This is a small light-duty table saw thats fine for small home projects, so why is it priced at $579!!!
I got a Ryobi tablesaw with almost identical specs (13 amp) on sale at Home Depot for $89 last summer (regular price is $99!), and Lowes has a Delta for about the same price. My Ryobi is cast aluminum table with a resin base, just like the Bosch. Sure this Bosch has it's "soft-start" motor, and it appears to have a domewhat better guide -- But is that worth $450 more???
No - I don't own this saw, and have never used it, and I'm sure it good quality, but again this (like my Ryobi) is a utilitarian tabelsaw and nothing more! And just think what other tools you could get with that extra cash!
Bosch 4000 Worksite table saw 2004-03-03
My Bosch table saw just arrived via UPS. Upon opening the box and putting together the saw, I realized that this is an excellent product. It is built to take abuse and remarkably, came out of the box in near perfect alignment. The fence, blade and miter guide needed very minor tweaking to make it 100% aligned. When I first used the saw, I expected it to be noisy and vibrate across the floor. Much to my surprise, it runs smoother than my floor model table saw. It is every bit as accurate, probably more so and is an incredible machine. I conducted extensive reviews of the saw prior to purchase and noted that all reviews were very positive. The only drawback I have found is that the placement of the on-off switch could be a bit more accessible. I like to turn off the machine with my knee if necessary and this switch is rather difficult to turn off without bending over and using a hand. I expect to modify a switch to allow use of the knee. Overall, this machine is top notch!
