The verdictOur take

The UniversalCirc 18V-53 is the larger Bosch Green circular saw: 160mm blade, 53mm at 90° and 36mm at 45°, and it runs on Bosch's Home & Garden guide rail. With a vacuum attached Bosch says it collects over 90% of the dust, and the dust adapter and parallel guide are in the box.
