MobilityThis highly mobile circular saw benefits from compact dimensions and an ergonomically designed handle. It features a soft-grip area which gives a secure, comfortable hold for easy operation with low fatigue. | Rapid chargingBosch Hyper Charge allows charging of batteries to 75 per cent in just half of the usual time. (Batteries and charger are sold separately.) There is no memory effect, so the batteries can be topped up, regardless of their present level, without reducing their lifetime. | Long battery lifeUnique Bosch Premium Li-ion technology gives the batteries (sold separately) a longer lifetime and runtime. Bosch Electronic Cell Protection (ECP) avoids overloading, overheating and excessive discharge. The innovative Bosch CoolPack system dissipates heat optimally, to extend lifetime by up to 100 per cent compared to Li-ion batteries without it. |
CoolPack Technology
A CoolPack battery from Bosch constantly dissipates any heat outwards due to its special housing geometry with cooling fins. As a result, it remains considerably cooler inside than conventional batteries and remains operational over the entire runtime.

Kit complet (hors batterie) pour faire des dcoupes de qualit avec de l’lctroportatif professionnels
Trs efficace et prcis pour des dcoupes de plans de travail
Je recommande forteme
Cette scie circulaire est vraiment trs bien.
Prcise, puissante et facile d’utilisation.
Les batteries 18v sont trs bien aussi. Excellente autonomie et compatible avec tous les outils bosch pro
Es compatible con los carriles guia festool, maquita y los antiguos fsn de Bosch profesional ( Bosch a ver si os aprendeis los productos que vendeis) , con su base de aluminio. Haba otra gks 18v-li con base de acero que no era compatible. Tras cuatro aos de uso puedo dar fe de la versatilidad y duracin de esta mquina. La uso para trabajar y bricolaje. Si es cierto que es mas comoda para zurdos por la posicin del disco.

I bought this to replace a corded saw which always felt out of control. This saw has a brake which my last saw didn’t have and is left handed which allows me to see where I’m cutting (last saw was right handed and awkward to follow a line). To be honest I have felt like a professional since the first cut, I am in total control and the brake is fantastic. As for battery life I layer a deck (6x4m) and the battery (4Ah)was still on 3 leds and the blade was as good as new. Having taken advice from another review I bought a matika 160mm 40 teeth and thr finished cut was perfect, the supplied blade was good but left a rougher finish. I’d recommend this saw to anyone replacing their old saw I only wish I’d thrown away my old saw years ago.
Almost the only left blade saw, that was available on the market at that time. Still working.
My husband is pleased with the saw, it saved him already a lot of manual work. He has got a lot of bosh Maschine’s and never anything to complain.
This was a present so I’ve not used it personally, I am told that it exceeds his expectations though. Shipping was very fast too. Happy Happy
After using for a while a Makita circular saw (borrowed from a friend for several of my projects), I realized that I have to look especially for a saw with left-sided position of the saw blade (I’m much more comfortable if I see the blade while I’m using the saw). In a nearby hardware store this was the only one that did suit my needs. So I ordered it on Amazon. I just replaced the stock blade with a Makita one designed for battery powered saws (as it was recommended by others here) and the results are beyond my expectations. Combined with two 5 Ah batteries, now the saw can be used almost continuously (the charge time of an empty battery is similar with the working time of a charged one in my case)
Die Winkeleinstellungen habe ich in der Praxis noch nicht genutzt, aber wie immer lsst sich alles bei Bosch Professional super leicht einstellen. Die Schnitttiefe ist sehr schnell und kinderleicht einzustellen. Einfach nach super diese Maschine.
Je mehr Produkte ich vom Akku-System von Bosch Professional habe desto mehr werde ich Fan. Weiter so.
C’est du bosch on le sent bien, bon produit.ce n’est pas une grosse machine mais pour ce que j’en fait elle me va trs bie
Purchased for a garden project but I suspect I’ll find some more reasons to use it.
I didn’t want a corded version and I already had a Bosch 18v Pro drill so it made sense to go for this machine.
There are a few versions that are similar but this one is a little more powerful (no load speed) and has the slot in the base for a guide rail. It’s also from the current model range, replacing the GSK 18v-57.
Overall I’m really impressed with this saw, it’s done everything I’ve asked of it so far without complaining. It does slow a little on think cuts but goes through sheet stock like a portable knife through butter. Get one!
It’s worth noting that this is technically a left hand saw (blade on the left) but as I’ve only ever use saws in this config it’s not a problem for me. It means that if you are right handed your right hand will be on the main grip (pulling the trigger) and your left will be over the top of the blade on the auxiliary handle.
Well made, great performance from a 4ah battery but…..scrap the supplied fence – shame on you Bosch for having the cheek to put this with your ‘professional’ series. Really poor and let’s the side down on what is a great price of cordless kit.
Goes through oak like butter.
I love the smaller depth of cut, lightness, and ease of handling for cutting boards compared to my larger 18v saw, which by comparison now feels like overkill, and the wrong tool for most board cutting jobs.
I’ve done a couple of floors with this saw now, and a few other jobs, it chews through 19mm ply easily enough (if kept straight. I boarded a loft with it last year, including cutting various packing pieces, and didn’t use my 18V saw at all – a hand saw proved just as easy as the 18V saw for the odd piece that was too thick for this saw.
Re battery life, this is always a bit subjective, but I use 2.5 and 3.0AH batteries, the ones larger than this are the bigger form factor which I don’t like, and i find 2 batteries is fine – one to charge whilst using the other more than keeps up with the rate I can cut and fit.
I have recently been replacing my old green Bosch for the blue professional and have loved them. I’ve yet to use this saw much but it’s so much better than my green one. It’s more powerful and more accurate and I’m looking forward to when I have a proper project to use it on.
Wenn ich BOSCH BLAU bestelle dann will ich BOSCH BLAU aber VOLLZHLIG bitte wenn schon sonst nichts in der Box ist.
Die Kreissge macht schon was her, der einzige Strfaktor ist meiner Meinung nach die Schutzhaube aus Plastik, da htte man schonmal etwas Metall fr hernehmen knnen. Ansonsten uneingeschrnkte Kaufempfehlung, krftig und kompakt.
Very good item and price and done the job thanks
bought it to go with my increasing 18v collection of tools, not had chance to use it yet but i can smell the quality in it.
Great bit of kit very very very very pleased with i
I am a left-handed person who was sick of getting sawdust blown in my face from my right handed saw but I wss too tight to buy this one. My old one packed in so I purchased this one and the price was right.
It’s a good little trim saw which uses the 18v batteries from Bosch. It will also use the wireless batteries from Bosch but you lose about 10mm off the cutting capacity. So on a trim saw which has a limited amount of cutting depth that can be the difference between being able to use it or not. Cutting plywood, MDF, sheet material not a problem. The same with dimensional timber just watch the battery life as it tends to bog down when you get to one bar.
This saw is not for everyone and there is a right handed saw available to buy in the range. However for me i am very pleased with the saw and very pleased not to have sawdust in my face every cut.
Cheers Joe
I’ve got other Bosch 18v tools so I didn’t need to get the battery with it, which saved a fair bit of money. I did opt for the LBOXX case though. This was a good idea as it keeps the saw from getting damaged in the workshop. The LBOXX also clicks into my other LBOXX’s – there’s tidy!
The saw is light and powerful – even when cutting through 18mm hardwood ply at an angle. There’s also the advantage that you don’t have a cable dangling which could get accidentally cut or snag.
I’d thoroughly recommend this saw – five stars!
Arrived without any problems, does what it is supposed to do. Fair price too!
En revanche je vous conseille de prendre des lames en 48 dents ou plus car celle livre avec clate beaucoup le bois et fais forc la scie.
Aprs avoir achet ma Visseuse GSB18-2 et sa L-Boxx, je voulais rester dans la mme gamma.
Absolument pas du !!! Que du bonheur !
Les dcoupes sont d’une facilit dconcertante, la possibilit de faire plonger la lamme est assez simple et diablement efficace.
Le fait que tout soit sur Accu est vraiment super et permet une grande libert de mouvement !
Si vous savez prendre une Accu de 4,0 Ah c’est l’idale !
Un trs bon produit Bosch et a un SUPER prix !
Bought to replace existing saw that managed to last five years of heavy duty use. Tremendous bit of kit that’s cut thousands of pressure treated joists, posts and beams.
Bisher habe ich nur ein Palette zersgt, um sie als Brennholz zu verwenden und ein paar Latten abgesgt. Das hat schnell und problemlos funktioniert und ich empfand es als sehr angenehm, dass ich auf kein Kabel achten musste. Mein 6Ah Akku war danach noch zu etwa 2/3 geladen, 2 von 3 LED, nach einigen Minuten Wartezeit waren wieder alle 3 LEDs an.
Habe nur Profi Werkzeug, Die GKS ergnzt es.
Habe 18v 4,0Ah, Akkubohrschrauber, Stichsge, Bohrhammer, Trennschleifer und einiges mehr.
Alles blaue Serie, kann’s nur empfehlen.
Akkubohrschrauber war mit Ladegert und 2 Akku’s 4,0Ah, passt auch an alle anderen 18V Gerte.
Geil, keine Kabel, Akku nach 20 min wieder voll und der zweite ist noch am arbeiten. Also, ich empfehle: ein Gert mit 2 Akku’s und Ladegert kaufen und dann Stck fr Stck Sologerte nachkaufen.
Bemerkung: Wer professioneller Handwerker ist, also seinen Lebensunterhalt damit verdient, sollte rechnen. Jedem Semipro, also im Handwerk zu Hause aber nicht abhngig kann ich nur die gesamte 18v Linie empfehlen. Es ist halt Profiwerkzeug und etwas teurer aber mit den
Li-Ionen Akku’s auch eine lngere Haltbarkeit, weil, kein Memory und immer bereit.
Gerade fr Wohneigentumbesitzer, es ist immer was zu bohren, sgen, sgen, etc.
Rundum zufrieden. Einzig der Sgeblattschutz aus Plastik mutet etwas billig und wackelig an – erfllt allerdings auch seinen Zweck.
diese Handkreissge gekauft. Ich dachte ich bin damit etwas mobiler auf dem Dach unterwegs. Ich muss aber
einigen anderen Kufern zustimmen, dass eine Akku-Kreissge eigentlich ein ganz anderes Werkzeug ist
als eine netzgebundene.
Sie funktioniert, keine Frage. Aber wer Leistung braucht ist hier sicher an der falschen Adresse. Hin und wieder
ein Schnitt ohne groen Aufwand, dafr ist sie zu gebrauchen. Auch Betonplan bis 21mm sind machbar. Mehr habe ich noch nicht getestet.
Was mich wirklich etwas nervt ist die Sache mit den Bosch Fhrungsschienen. Wrde ich mir jetzt noch eine netzgebundene Maschine von Bosch kaufen, dann brauche ich fr jede Maschine eine andere Schiene, die auch nicht gerade gnstig sind.
Fazit:
Gute Maschine mit klaren Leistungsgrenzen (18V!).
