Dremel Blueprint Portable Saw Station, CS12V-S1C

I bought this tool as a Father's Day gift but my husband who loved the whole concept said it jams midway. I said maybe it needs to fully charge so I gave it a try and the saw jams while cutting 2x4 or any wood ...maybe mine is defected... Looking into returning it and it bums me out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was very easy to setup and use, and setup was very clean and tidy when putting away. Very portable and fun to use! Would recommend it strongly to anyone looking to start DIY projects at home, or even to add into your arsenal in a professional business!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great compact saw. Obviously it won’t be replacing my full-size circular saw, miter saw, or table saw, but I do see this as a useful addition to my shop. This is great to take to the home goods center to breakdown sheet goods with a straight edge. Very useful for small cuts. I do a lot of hobby woodworking and if purchased with the work table set up this is very useful for making quick miters and adjustments easily. Charges easily. Battery has good life. Very pleased overall with the product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Alright this is my review of the Dremel Blueprint Compact Saw. So the box that it came in wass solid and informative and the saw and contents were packed very very well. I was really appreciative of how it's packed. And the saw design looks very good. It has a sleek modern design. It’s a 12 volt compact saw and I haven't seen one designed quite like this with the handle positioned like it is. It comes with the manual and safety warning flyer. So first of all about the saw is that I love the lower blade guard which by the way is the most important part of any portable saw. I really like the battery level indicator lights. It will tell you what charge the battery has left. It has an adjustment for changing the angle of the blade position. And I'm really really impressed at how smooth the adjustments are. It comes with a little dust chute to blow the dust away from the blade. I personally would have preferred for it to have had an actual dust bag that attaches to the end of the chute attachment. And it has a safety feature where you can't cut unless a trigger is pressed down which is pretty cool. So my first test cut was a piece of ¾ inch wood and wow…. is cut pretty cool. It still had all the lights showing so I decided to cut another piece of ¾ inch wood. I did notice the lights going to two lights but after cutting it would show all the lights again so I decided to try 2x4. The blade wasn’t big enough to go through the 2x4 in one pass. It would have been really nice if it also came with a blade that was a little bit larger to go through 2x4 in one pass… that would be game changing. And I believe if I know this is more of a finishing type use saw. I don't think it's meant to cut really thick materials. You know if you want to do something quick like cutting some 3/4 inch plywood or redoing the frame of a cabinet and you want to do some quick cuts. You could probably cut a countertop sink cutout. You could do that with this because again I was just cutting 3/4 in and that is the thickness of most countertops where the bowl is going to set in. So this definitely will be nice for cutting out rough outs for countertops. I then tried cutting treated lumber and it also cut well. So overall…grading the Dremel Blueprint Saw from 1 to 10: I would give it a solid 8 and a half. Again, I wish the blade was a little bit larger for cutting through 2x4s in one pass. Yeah…that would be great. And the dust collector attachment is kind of useless without a bag on it. The included metal guide is okay but the chances of me using this attachment a lot will be very slim. I don’t know if I was using it incorrectly or not but it felt flimsy. Again I like the lock for when you change the blade. Nice sleek handle and I love the way that feels when I hold it in my hand. Now for this review I made about five cuts and the battery is already down to two from three lights. So maybe a little bit stronger on the battery capacity. But again definitely pretty nice for some quick finish and trim work. This is a really nice compact saw and I had fun using it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice little saw. Easy to use, First time using it, felt comfortable in hand. I could see alot of uses. Good for trim work. Saw is not heavy like a 7 1/4 saw is. I wish I could have gotten the kit. I could see the bennifit of getting the complete kit . I wish that they sell the kit without the saw.
