Description of Bosch 1677MD 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Wormdrive Construction Saw with Direct Connect
If you're looking for unparalleled power, here's the saw for you. In addition to the sheer brawn, Bosch really has finessed this machine, and the beauty is in the details. Our favorite feature is the Direct Connect system: The tool itself has no power cord, just a receptacle for your extension cord and a super locking mechanism to keep the cord connected. It's so secure that you can actually lower the tool off scaffolding to the ground by the cord. Next time you accidentally cut the cord, it won't put the whole saw out of commission: Just grab another extension cord. Storage is a breeze, too, because there's no integrated cord to tangle with. We love the left-side blade for unmatched line of sight, the worm drive gear train will hold up for years under the toughest conditions. Changing depths and bevels are fast, easy, single-lever operations, and you'll like the lower guard design when slicing off a narrow piece because it does not snag. If we had to name a down side, the saw is a bit heavy, but that's a negligible detail in a piece of machinery like this.--Kris Jensen-Van HesteTools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 1677MD 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Wormdrive Construction Saw with Direct Connect
Customer Review: Professional quality
Summary: 5 Stars
Started in construction 16 years ago as a framer doing track homes using the 6 1/2 and 7 1/4 skil. This saw has the ruggedness and ease of use like its predecessors but it's much more smooth and refined. The integrated hook and the direct connect plug alone will save you big. After market hooks can get loose pretty easy and if that ever fails you are screwed. Extension cords get cut and if it hasn't it will. Concerning build, every saw that I've owned or used (Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita) were off square to some degree, it's common. If it's unacceptable you simply exchange it if still new or if it results from operator error have it fixed. However, most tool shop owners are usually familiar enough with a saw like this to have it fixed or tuned up in a day or two. This is not a cabinet saw. This is a framer where you can rip and cut wood consistently within an eight. Whether it's wood, masonite, corrugated roof or tar paper this saw will get it done. If you need more precise cuts like other saws I've owned used it will require a fence or a rough cut that you finish. I don't know how anybody can buy a tool like this and be surprised with 1/16 - 3/32 deviation. It's not the tool people, it's how you use it. Yes you can get a cheaper saw with similar results but this is a saw that is built to last. Even if you only use this saw once or twice it is a BMW among the rest. It's a saw that you've earned and deserve. Here's a couple of tips that will help you extend the enjoyment of this saw. Whenever you store the saw always set the height adjustment so that the deck is closed and not fully extended. This makes it easier to store and protects it from negligence. Change the oil frequently and the performance will improve. Kickback is a nature of circular saws. Understand what it is and how to react by practicing. Dig into some scrap material. Cutting it up will help to get a better feel for this saw and what you can and cannot do. Lastly, although eye protection is not for everyone when using this tool it's imperative. So in addition to having an awesome saw you also have a legit reason why you need to wear those ridiculously overpriced cool glasses because it's work related. Best saw I've ever owned. Still skeptical, check the construction sites near your home. You'll definitely see skil but if you don't see this exact same model just remember this is a premium tool not your average craftsman.
