While we have found it to be a sometimes over-aggressive tool for its intended purpose – it is not a bad small masonry and stone saw when fitted with one of the Bosch optional blades: DB561 (general purpose), DB564 (for hard stone) and DB568 (for Marble). We like it with the DB563 blade for cutting slate. Bosch also has a vacuum attachment – which is more or less effective. We use a Bosch 5 inch “Tuckpointer” Grinder #1775E for a similar purpose.
