  1. Talking power tool technology with Bosch

    in Bosch

    Posted

    I hope Bosch will be quicker to get out new tools to take advantage of this new battery tech. That's the one thing holding them back is their lack of variety of cordless tools. It probably has a lot to do with Bosch being a huge company and the tools section only being one little part of it. 


    Yeah I agree I have this battery and lots of bosch 18v tools with plenty of batteries but I've ended up buying the dewalt 18v mitre saw as bosch don't make one and I had waited long enough !

  5. 20v mitre saw with Diablo blade ?

    A FV battery would just increase the runtime. The motor always run at 20V.


    To be fair the flex volt may add a bit more power as I have the new bosch 6.3 ah eneracer battery and it makes the grinder and circular saw more powerful compared to the 5 ah batteries

    Personally, I prefer a 60T at minimum on a miter saw and typically run an 80T. Depends on what you're doing though.

     

    The stock Dewalt blades are made by Avanti which is a Freud product, just a lower grade option. 

     

    You really can't beat a Diablo blade. Forrest blades are top notch, but they have a top notch price as well.


    That's interesting because Bosch own Freud so that means that bosch basically supply dewalt there blades !

    Dewalt blades are decent for construction applications but they don't compare to Freuds quality. You wont regret buying a Freud. Swap the blades out and hold onto the stock blade just in case.


    Yeah I think I will do that plus the dewalt one can be used for cutting things like pvc and leave the Freud for clean wood

    I think that as long as you take your time with the cut and don't jam the blade into the wood you will be fine. You just won't get as long of a run time with the thicker blade.


    Yeah that's what I was thinking , the only reason I ask is people keep saying how dewalt blades are not very good so because I haven't received the saw yet was thinking of ordering a Freud blade as they are always very good

    The diablos I have claim better run time for cordless, which blade do you have?


    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk


    Well I haven't bought one for this saw yet and the 24 tooth one I'm looking at is the LP30M but it's not made for cordless I don't think and it's 2.4mm thick not 1.6mm like the dewalt comes with but knowing Freud blades I bet it cuts well

    What I was asking was because its a cordless saw does it cope ok with a Diablo blade that's thicker and not designed for a cordless saw ? I put Freud blades in my corded metabo and love them but just wondered if the 20v cuts ok with a thicker Freud blade compared to the thinner one it comes with but I take it it does do

    I've ordered the 20v mitre saw and wondered if any of you lot are using a Freud blade in there's ? I wondered if it performs any better on a Diablo blade as I use Freud blades in my other saws but wondered how it performs in the 20v ? I think a 24 tooth might work well ?

    I'm interested in switching from makita and I hear a lot of good things about Bosch. They make everything even car parts, I've had Bosch oil filters, wiper blades and 02 sensors lol.  What is the difference between the green and blue Bosch tools? 


    Green are diy and blue are there professional tools , I've got bosch blue tools plenty of them and they are great

    Not really but I used it for a day swapping between jigsaw and grinder and it only dropped 2 out of the 5 bars on the battery but it's not like I can say exactly how much work I did but it was a fair amount !

    When I really put it to the test I will report back but so far I like the battery

    Wow that's a big oversight on Bosch's part. The saw is where you would really want extra runtime.


    Yeah a little, I trimmed that bottom lip off with my multi tool and now it fits a treat I know we shouldn't have to do that but I bought the battery to be used mainly on the circular saw and the grinder !
    I know bosch have released a new circular saw so I bet it hasn't got the lip on the new model.
