Product Description
Product Description
The XEO has a number of useful features. Click here for a larger image.
Bosch Xeo All-Purpose Cutter: Looks Sharp, Cuts Sharp
Faster, lighter and more precise--the Bosch Xeo is the improved universal cutting tool from Bosch Power Tools. Compact and precise, this tool has a better cutting performance than its predecessor and is the perfect solution for all of your lightweight cutting tasks. Great cuts are easy with the XEO--you can use it with ease in carpet, cardboard, foils, cork and wallpaper. You can also accurately trim plastic strips, shower curtains and window blinds. Even PVC or linoleum floors can be cut to size with ease. Scissors are no completion, and the Xeo even sharpens itself.
The Xeo is a truly handy tool to have around the house. It’s useable for jobs that are too hard for scissors and too dangerous for carpet knives. It is ideal for opening stubborn packaging, for pruning unsightly, protruding branches of plants or even for trimming a reed mat, bamboo or corrugated plastic for a balcony, patio or garden to the desired height. Users can generally use the Bosch Xeo to chop up anything that they no longer need--you’ll be able to fit a lot more in your waste bin or recycling. Its versatility makes the Xeo a tool for everyday jobs because it is always within reach. It’s always ready for use thanks to its practical lithium-ion technology. It makes a smart and useful gift, as a tool that everybody wants to get their hands on, regardless of whether they are right-handers or left-handers.
The XEO universal cutter will appeal to keen crafters looking for a tool to provide a neat edge on paper, card or felt projects or to keen DIYers fitting lino or carpet. Interior designers will also benefit from a precise cut when reupholstering furniture or trimming wallpaper. Not forgetting budding fashion designers, who can guarantee a stylish result on all kinds of fabric, including denim.
Precise in Cutting
The Xeo offers a better view of the cutting line when in action than its predecessor and has a red line-of-cut indicator on the safety guard, which makes it easier to guide the cut. It cuts materials up to six millimetres thick. The tool also comes with a handy cutting guide, allowing you to cut and fit carpets with ease.
The Xeo knife has a precise cutting performance especially in thin and flexible material, such as textile. Thanks the AutoSharp self-sharpening function, users don’t have to worry about losing the sharpness of the rotary cutting blade. The lower blade is made of a stronger material than the upper blade and the lower blade is fixed in a shallow angle with the 10-sided upper blade, so the blades rub against one another, which results in a self-sharpening effect. The lock-off switch and safety guard minimise the risk of injury. The gripping surface of the Xeo gives a better and more comfortable hold, and reduces the risk of the user losing his or her grip and therefore control of the machine
Lithium-Ion Technology
The lithium-ion technology means that the tool is always ready to use.
The Advantages of Lithium-Ion Technology
Tools with lithium-ion technology are ready for use practically all of the time. Regardless of whether the battery is fully charged, partially charged, or flat, you can put it in the charging station without having to worry about self-discharge or memory effect.
Small Tools, Big Progress--Simply Remarkable
Bosch lithium-ion cordless tools like the XEO are ready for use quickly. Even after a period of 4 months on standby, a fully charged lithium-ion battery is still charged to approximately 85 per cent. This means that Bosch Power is available to you for six times longer than that of conventional NiCd batteries.
Full Power at all Times
No self-discharge, no memory effect: constant battery capacity over the entire lifetime. Always ready when you are thanks to lithium-Ion technology.
Same Battery Power at Half the Size
Due to the lithium-ion technology, the size and weight of the batteries are reduced by approximately 60 per cent compared to conventional nickel cadmium batteries--although they offer the same amount of power.
Batteries That Can Withstand the Elements
The intelligent electronic cell protection, Bosch ECP, protects the lithium-ion batteries against excessive temperatures and overload, therefore giving them a particularly long lifetime.
High Power, Low Weight
Bosch cordless tools with lithium-ion technology impress with their very compact design, low weight and very good ease of use. This saves you a lot of effort when doing those DIY jobs.

.. Don't know where the 'Universal' came from, because this is quite a specialist tool. In the instructions it says it's for cutting "..soft, flexible materials, up to 6mm thick", and it does this really well.
The cutter is like a sharpened 50 pence coin, which slices against a spring-loaded plate in the shoe (almost like rotary scissors). Because it slits material rather than sawing it, if you cut ridgid sheets, the blade will jam. A toothed saw cuts itself a slot for the blade to fit in, but this blade needs the material to flex out of its way.
I'm using it to cut felt. I was cutting it with scissors, which was really hard work. With this tool the roughing-out is very easy, and quicker. Because I'm cutting curves which need to be super-accurate, I'm still doing the final trim with scissors, but straight lines are easy, and with more practice, I hope to be able to do all the cutting with this tool.
If you use it instead of a Stanley knife, another advantage is that you don't have to worry about cutting the surface underneath, because the cutting happens between the blade and the shoe.
The instructions say that one charge will cut 50 metres of 6mm carpet.
I found the safety button a bit annoying at first, but once the trigger is pulled, you don't need to hold the button down.
Like any small power-tool, there's the risk of underestimating the hazards. It's very sharp and very powerful, so I would keep it for the workshop, and not use it as a general household gadget. Certainly don't let children anywhere near it.
I suspect it's half-price because it's had a disappointing reception as a universal cutter- but if you want it for the specialist cutter that it is- it's a bargain. I've just ordered a second one as a present for a friend who works with leather.
Give me a click if you found this useful, so I'll feel better about doing this instead of getting on with my work!

Although I recommend this tool, be aware that it is (as another reviewer says), a bit on the sluggish side. If it were 20% faster, I would have coloured the remaining blank star.

Amazon Verified Purchase
The cutter is lightweight, comfortable in the hand and easy to use. It cut six layers of cotton drill without a problem. I found the speed a bit slow, more of a trundle than a whizz but it does the job. The tin box in which the cutter arrives is very good, excellent for storage and neat enough to keep at the back of the cutting bench. On the down side, the slipper plate could do with being wider - it's very easy to hold the machine so that the blade is off-true and not 90' to the bench. This causes fabric to catch in the back of the blade and needs care to avoid. The safety button needs to be pressed and held in the 'use' position all the time the cutter is being used, which makes my hand ache a bit after a while. But I'm pleased with the machine and pleased I bought it.
