Slick job site saw 
2008-04-20
Bosch did a great job with the stand and portability engineering with this saw. The saw is great too and gives the intended performance at the site with solid performance.
My husband loves it! 2008-04-19
I got the saw for my husband for father's day. He has been using it ever since. It's easy to set up and move from one place to another. Great investment!
Terrific Saw! 2008-03-28
I used this saw for two weeks cutting trim for my house. Here's my experience.
ASSEMBLY
This saw took me 45 minutes to assemble. Instructions were clear and contained helpful how-to diagrams.
ACCURACY
After initial adjustment (instructions show how), this saw was dead-on accurate. It cut perfect 45 and 90 degree joints. I've used it to cut joints that I formerly cut with my Makita compound miter saw -- it's that good!
CONVENIENCE
The saw folds up to the size of a short step ladder, and is easy to move, set up, and use. The gravity rise mechanism and pneumatic tires make this convenience possible.
QUALITY
This saw has metal gears and is well constructed. The plastic saw case appears durable and doesn't detract from the saw's quality. The parts that should be metal are steel.
SUITABILITY
This saw is suitable for a hobbyist with little storage space, but who requires quality and accuracy. It might also be a good bet for a contractor who needs to transport a light saw to job sites. This saw would be easy to load in a pickup.
Great Saw! 2008-03-25
I received the saw sans paperwork which turned out to be a plus as I went to Bosch's website and downloaded them. Then, I only printed the pages written in English. Note: if this happens to you, be sure to download the owner's manual for the saw, the parts list and diagram for the saw, and the owner's manual for the TS2000 stand.
Everything was easy to assembly so it took about an hour to do so. The collapsible table is really a plus as I can move the saw against the wall in my bedroom-converted-to-a-shop when not in use giving me plenty of room for my other power tools. Since I'm a 55-year old beginning woodworker, I can't attest to the quality or functionality of the saw yet but I read many positive reviews on Amazon and elsewhere so I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
Bosch Tablesaw 2008-02-17
An excellent portable tablesaw. Very precised and easy to use. Also very easy to stow. Takes minimal space.
What A Deal 
2008-07-22
Have been shopping around for a saw to handle my upcoming hardwood floor installation project. Didn't want to spend HUGE bucks but also didn't want to buy cheap junk. Trying to economize on tools usually ends up being a false economy. Every cheap tool I ever bought I ended up throwing out and going back for the better one that I knew I should have bought in the first place.
I was getting a little disenchanted because what I could afford, I didn't want, and what I wanted, I couldn't afford.
So I'm in Sears about 2 weeks ago and I see this saw sitting off to the side with a "Clearance" tag on it. It's marked at $434. They also have the newer model on display, the 4100-09, at full price ($600). $400+ is still a little more than I have to spend but just out of curiosity, I go home and pull up all of the glowing reviews on the 4000-09 here at Amazon. Now I know I've found the saw I want but it's still a little pricy.
I continue to do some shopping around, checking out rentals, etc, but finally arrive at the conclusion that I'm going to have to buy a saw and I better get quality so I can keep it and use it for several years.
So I call Sears back to see if they still have this one on clearance and the salesman says "yes", checks the computer and tells me it's going for $290. I about fell out of my chair!!! I cross-examined him - Is it the right model? Does that include the stand?, etc etc. I got all of the right answers so I lickety split over to Sears to grab it.
When I get there and inquire further, I discover that this has been the display model at Sears for over 1 1/2 years and was put on clearance when the newer model came in. It's obviously had a lot of hands touching it (lots of finger smudges on the table, rip fence ruler a little scratched up from people sliding the fence back and forth, etc). They don't have the packaging or manuals, but all of the parts are in place and everything looks to be in excellent working order. The guy that sold it to me told me he assembled it himself on the floor 1 1/2 years ago and it's never left the store and never been turned on. Manufacturer's warranty is still in force as a "new" saw.
So I went out on a limb and bought it. Haven't tried it out yet so I'm holding off on my 5th star but I am extremely impressed with the quality of the build, the solid feel, and that very excellent gravity rise stand.
I'm spared the pain of having to put it together! And I was able to downloaded the manual from Bosch and use my computer to delete the pages with the French and Spanish instructions before printing.
Will be carefully checking all of the alignments and then will post an update after I've run a few boards through it.
Excellent Small Shop Saw 2008-07-07
I have a very small basement woodworking shop and I've been using this for some time now. Since my space is quite limited a cabinet or even contractor saw is really out of the question so that left a portable. After some research I got this one. Very happy with it so far. Two must haves on this saw to make it perform to woodworking standards. One, a new blade. I have it outfitted with a Forrest woodworker II but any good quality blade would do I would think. Second is some sort of crosscut sled or good miter fence. The miter gauge that comes with it is not accurate enough for anything other than rough cuts. I built a crosscut sled for it and it now produces perfectly square cuts. The stand is easy to use as well and a nice addition. The fence is solid with no slop in it. While I doubt this could compete with a good cabinet saw it is an excellent saw for the small shop.
Like the saw, hate the shipping... 2008-07-01
I ordered this saw for this year's birthday in April. But I didn't open the battered box (my bad) until yesterday, June 29th. I found the saw insert was broken off in shipment, and of course, as everyone had warned, the manual was gone. So now I wait for the Bosch folks to get back to me about replacing the manual. It looks like I'll have to order (and pay for) the insert myself. In any case, I'm looking forward to using this saw!
died too young 
2008-05-30
Bought my saw 2 years ago at amazon, thought it was the greatest thing ever, UNTIL last week. The motor quit and I'm looking at at least half the price of a new saw. Too much money for a disposable saw. Bosch was no help either.
