Bosch 7-1/4-Inch Worm Drive Circular Saw CSW41, Blue

It's an excellent saw with plenty of power to cause injuries to one's self. The tool gives good feedback about binding and pinching, but it will hurt you if you do not pay attention.

I’m not a pro just a weekend warrior DIY. For years I’ve been struggling making a straight cut from ripping plywoods and 2x4. Even with with the help of cheap circular saw tracks I’m still struggling. But this saw as soon as it arrived I cut a small piece of plywoods and 2x4 and I’m surprised how easy it is . Every cut is almost perfect and I think one reason is I’m right handed and the blade is on the leftside so I can see where the blade is cutting. This is gonna be my go to saw. Regarding weight it is heavy but since I’m just a DIY warrior and It’s ok. I’m a small guy with women hands, maybe if your popeye weight won’t matter. Overall good saw and built very well.

I have a skilsaw that’s 40 years old and it jerks a bit or torques when you first fire it up. Some reviews have said same thing with the Bosch. I disagree with that statement! It’s a great saw and light weight.Greg

I just received this yesterday and made a few test cuts today. This is an excellent saw. It has a good feel in the hand. The motor is powerful, and it just cuts like butter.A reviewer said this was cheaply manufactured. I don't really understand that individual's opinion. I can't seem to find one thing about this saw that feels cheap. If anything, it feels heavy duty and extremely well built.I can't claim that I've used a lot of worm drives being from the East, but it does seem like an identical twin to the Skil branded saws. After using this for handful of cuts, I now understand what all the rage is about when it comes to worm drive skilsaws.I'm impressed with this saw as I am with most of my Bosch tools.

Lots of extra power in this ergonomically comfortable saw. Cut through 1.75 inch birch hardwood tabletop like it was quarter inch ply! Handles well and the three ounces saved over the non-magnesium plate is helpful and in the long run might be worth the extra 20-30 bucks. Good quality saw for the money.

I missed the point that the saw has very little room in the front to fix a guide rail. I could not use the one I had. Accuracy: Lost 1/2 millimeter over 3 feet. Could also be caused by the blade. Would describe the weight as medium. Can't say anything about durability, it is too new. Only did one smaller job with it.

As a professional, this saw is an absolute game changer!! Love everything about it. Feel, power, balance, and solid as a rock. Ive yet to outrun a cut with it. No complaints. Use it every day. Lately, cutting nothing less than pressure treated, water logged 2x6. Feels like butter. If you cant handle the weight of a worm drive, I dont know what to tell you.

Had a skillsaw before. Like this better. Lots of power.
