IIRC, my 1590 does have a blower... it's good enough. It's the switch
with two positions.

Sucking is better than blowing.


Not always. (Do you like to argue?) Try this experiment (Bill Pentz
came up with it): Take a ping pong ball and two straws. One person can
only blow through the straw and the other can only suck. Try to get the
ball to go out of a circle or into an area. The person blowing will win
every game.

If you need to see a line, a blower can be more efficient than trying to
suck the dust away.

And if you're cutting steel with a lubricant
(which Bosch saws will do--the old ones even had
a powered lubricant dispenser accessory
available that was driven by the saw) do you
really want to be sucking the lubricant and
chips into the mechanism?

Of course you can always go green, but even
green doesn't suck with the saw's mechanism,
they just provide a dust port to which a
(preferably green) vacuum can be attached.
