Title: Blade guides do not "reciprocate"
Product review: The blade guides, called "reciprocating pawls" by another reviewer, do not reciprocate. They can be adjusted a tiny bit, with an allen bolt, so they do not pinch tightly onto the blade. In operation, they can be opened or closed with a red lever on the port side of the saw. The controls are well laid out for each function. The blade guides are a bit above the workpiece, and a bit bigger than the Festool Trion, and the whole saw is close toa pound heavier and bigger. While the Trion is about $100 more then the Bosch 1591, it is the smaller size, smoothness, lightness, and fitment/design, that got this old carpenter with arthritis to spring for the Festool. The Bosch is still a wonderful deal... and I borrow a buddies on the jobsite whenever he isn't looking! I give it only one-half star less the the 5 star Festool. 4.5 out of 5.0.
