i have owned this saw for 2 years. last week i was using the was to cut oak flooring and burned the motor out. i brought it down to the local repair shop thinking it woulf only cost 100 or so. iwas told that because of all the fancy electronics in the motor that it could cost several hundred dollers. as it turns out the fan that keeps the motor cool acualy sucks saw dust in right frim the blade,(i normoly blow off all my tools dayly). I thru the bosch away and bought a dewalt(i saw told you can buy a hole new motor of a little over 100 dollers, you cant even buy a complete bosch motor)
