Review on BOSCH FS180DTU High-Alloy Steel Power Handsaw Blade - 5-3/4 In. Regular Cut with FineCut, 8 TPI by Daniel Hicks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall good blade, best in power tools Spares

I bought a Bosch precision saw to cut flush subflooring around cabinets when installing kitchen tile. I used to have linoleum on a plywood floor and in order to remove the old linoleum and keep the current floor level with the new tile I had to remove the top layer of the plywood subfloor. The problem was how to cut the sub-shelf flush with the bases of the cabinets as I didn't want to remove the cabinets. The Bosch precision saw was the only tool I found that could get the job done, especially in the tight space under the top of the cabinets. I read reviews on the saw that said the blades dulled quickly so I bought a few extra. I have to say that the saw and blades worked surprisingly well. Although the task was time consuming, I was able to cut the entire black floor flush with the cabinet bottom. The large tooth blade on the saw held up well and I ended up using only two blades for the entire job. I highly recommend this saw for cutting cabinets and trimming tile moldings. No other tool will work as well. If anything, I might suggest that Bosch add a carbide blade to this saw.
