I bought this saw back in June 2020 and on my second use when trying to cut thick softwood (a timber joist) the chainsaw part of the blade broke.
I contacted Bosch and told them what had happened and returned the saw to Amazon for a refund (Amazon were their usual excellent self with a no quibble return and refund).
To their credit Bosch explained that they had a longer saw bloade for deeper cuts. The blade (part number - 2 609 256 D86) is a longer blade than the standard blade and as such is better suited to these deeper cuts.
SO when my next project came along (Dec 2020) I ordered another of these saws and the longer blade.
I was using 18 and 12mm MDF sheets. The saw was absolutely perfect for this task and the cuts were easy to do. The cuts were straight, clean and the edges were also perfectly square.
So my advice is to get this saw into your toolbox if you are ever cutting sheet material. In my opinion that is where it comes into it's own and makes the job a joy to do.
For that I totally recommend this saw.
