Bosch PFZ 500 E All Purpose Saw--So Powerful it Cuts Through Every Material

The PSR 18 LI-2 has a number of useful features
The PSR 18 LI-2 has a number of useful features. Click here for a larger image.

Sawing used to take a lot of effort, but now, with this innovative saw from Bosch, it’s an easier job than you could imagine. Whether wood, metal or plastic, the Bosh All Purpose saw cuts through objects quickly, precisely and conveniently. With its powerful high-performance motor and long saw blade stroke, it works its way through the material with ease. Regardless of whether you want to cut slats to lengths, saw branches, plastic or metal pies, the PFZ 500 E gets the job done quickly. When working, the efficient vibration damping with counterbalanced mechanism, unrivalled in its class, ensures that work is comfortable and less tiring.

The PFZ 500 E All Purpose Saw has a powerful 500 watt motor and a stroke length of 23 mm, which ensures an over 40% faster sawing progress than other tools in its class on a minimum level of noise.

  • Cutting depth in wood: 150 mm
  • Cutting depth in metal: 10 mm
  • Cutting depth in plastic pipe: 150 mm diameter
Bosch SDS System

The Bosch SDS System simplifies the process of switching between different applications. The system allows quick and easy tool-free saw blade changes at the slide of a button.

Electronic Trigger and Stroke Scale Rate

The Bosch Electronic Speed Trigger allows the user to vary the stroke rate for a continuously variable speed from 0 to 2,700 strokes per minute. It works like the accelerator pedal in a car. Start the machine gently and increase the speed/stroke rate by simply increasing the pressure on the trigger. The stroke rate is dependent on the material and is to be determined by a practical trial. A lower stroke rate is necessary for cutting some materials such as plastic and metal.

Counter Balance System (Low Vibration)

Low vibration working is achieved thanks to an integrated counterbalance mechanism. A counterbalance weight inside the tool is driven in the opposite direction to that of the blade to reduce the vibrations.

Easy To Use and Compact

The Bosch PFZ 500 E is newly designed for even higher usability. The saw is both compact and light, weighing in at only 2 kg. The tool features an integrated hand protector and Bosch Softgrip for safe and convenient working. The gripping surface, attached on the upper side of the machine, reduces the risk of losing control of the machine and increases user comfort. At the same time, the rubber coating achieves a vibration-absorbing effect.

Safety

To prevent the saw from being switched on unintentionally, for example when picking it up, an integrated safety switch lock release buttons are provided. Both right- and left-handed users will find a conveniently located safety button that needs to be pressed before the trigger can be pressed to start the machine. The Bosch PFZ All Purpose Saw also features an integrated hand protector located just above the saw blade for safe and convenient working.

bosch saw 3 Jun 2010
great saw , simple and easy to use. cuts small logs and timber planks with ease. wood/metal saw also cuts through nails easily. saves lots of time and sore biceps. needs a lot of care, easily lose a digit or two if not fully concentrating. kickback on cutting larger items so be careful.
only a couple of months old so can't comment on reliability/longevity etc

I bought this saw as a general purpose tool, mainly to help ease the work of sawing up logs and branches for firewood. It's been excellent at this, reducing a large pile of long timber to neat short lengths far more quickly than I could have done by hand.

The build quality is good (standard Bosch quality - with a nice robust feeling moulded body).
I found the blade change mechanism easy to use and quick (simply push a slider -it does need a firm push, but I'm glad it does as you want the blade secure.

I have not yet needed to replace the blades - treated well they seem to have good durability (there were 2 included, one for wood the other for metal) so can't comment on the replacement cost - I'm sure I will search on the web to see what deals there are to be had as and when I need to.

In use the unit does vibrate so you may want to take breaks after several minutes of continuous use - but it's not at an unacceptable level. I also liked that the saw is reasonably light (lighter than a more standard reciprocating saw) so more manageable in quick day to day use.

Overall a good purchase that I have also used for general Internal DIY, and would buy again.
