Just seen the new bosch circular saw and it seems you can switch which side the blade is on have a read at the bottom of my screen shot apart from this I don’t know anything else about it [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Wow, if this gives the consumer the ability to have it on either side depending on preference, that’s pretty cool, just buy one and switch it to how you like
That’s pretty cool, would just hope they make the lock strong so the saw doesn’t slide into a slight bevel

I don’t think its possible to have a saw with switchable blade sides.

I’m inclined to agree. Using a reversible motor, cutting guard, and dust extraction with dual markings on the shoe and a symmetric depth adjustment all seem doable, but everything down to the thread lay on the arbor bolt is engineered with directionality and I can’t see them making that viable. More likely this is poor wording for “look guys we made a cordless blade right saw too”
Yeah I think German to English translation lost what they meant that it will be offered in multiple orientations. IE Model XXX###L and model XXX###R.
Yeah I agree it’s the way it’s worded that’s misleading

Or the motor can go in reverse and you just flip the blade and the tool who knows looks like someone beat me to it.
Found out more to this the bosch rep said the new saw is blade on the right so you have a choice of left or right now which is a shame as I thought when bosch made a new saw they would make it brushless but they haven’t

Did he mention why they didn’t go with brushless?

No it was on the bosch forum they said the new model was the same as the old model just blade on the right and that model number ends 57g for blade on the right !
So obviously bosch aren’t making a brushless model

Gotcha. I’m not a diehard brushless guy, but it would have been nice to have the option. I’m completely happy with my brushless saw though.
