Great Design – High Power
The overall design of the Bosch 14-Inch 15-AMP Hand-Held Abrasive Cutoff Machine is eye-catching and it’s hard to ignore its simplicity and beauty.

It can cut up to 4-7/8-inch deep and deliver staggering 4.7 Horsepower to rip through any metal or surface without any difficulty.
This metal cutting saw features natural debris removal. The wheel rotation takes debris, site dust and sparks away from a user. The 1365 has reinforced armature windings. The worksite is always filled with dust and debris which can damage motor and this feature shields against them. Especially metal debris which can kill motor or smoke it instantly.
Exclusive Features – Durable Components
The Bosch 1365 hand-held cutoff machine has Service Minder™ brushes. These brushes stop the tool as soon as precautionary maintenance is required. This prevents any damage by eliminating guesswork. The special engineering in this power tool is its reversible handle. Left-handed or right-handed, the wraparound side handle can mount both sides for added ease and flexibility.
The 1365 comes in fire forward default settings but It can change position very easily by reversible fire position. These position settings don’t require any extra equipment.
