The Bosch Finecut Power Handsaw Kit, originally previewed in the Woodworker's Journal

August 1999 issue, quickly disappeared into contributing editor Rick White's shop.

The lightweight (3.5 lbs.) and compact 1640VS Finecut Precision Saw is sold separately with two blades for a little over $100. The complete 1640VSK kit. which includes the saw, two blades, the miter jig fixture, three clamps and a sturdy carrying case, adds about $60 to the cost. The two products are targeted at those who have to cut a lot of moldings and trim, counter cut-outs, straight long
