Bosch GKS 18V-57-2 Brushless Circular Saw Ø165 mm – Professional 18V

The Bosch GKS 18V-57-2 Professional represents an advanced solution for craftsmen and professionals who need a versatile and portable circular saw. The 18 V brushless motor ensures high power, energy efficiency, and a long operating life, while its compact dimensions and light weight (2.8 kg without battery) make it easy to use even in confined spaces or on construction sites.

The blade optimized for battery use allows for clean and precise cuts, ideal for solid wood, OSB panels, MDF, beams, frames, and other wooden materials. The cutting depth can reach 57 mm at 90°, or 41 mm at 45°, also allowing for bevel cuts at various angles (22.5°, 45°, 50°, 90°).

To improve cleanliness and safety on the job site, the GKS 18V-57-2 is equipped for connection to a dust extractor via a dust extraction port. Furthermore, it features a quick brake, a chip blower function to clean the cutting line, integrated LED light for optimal visibility, and an additional front handle for greater control and stability.

To ensure operational flexibility, the saw is compatible with the entire "Bosch Professional 18 V System" battery system, allowing you to use existing batteries without the need for additional purchases.

The product is supplied in a cardboard box (not an L-BOXX case), with a parallel guide and a standard wood blade. Battery and charger are not included. The Bosch Professional GKS 18V-57-2 circular saw is the perfect tool for the craftsman who already owns Bosch 18V system batteries and wants to expand their range of tools with a circular saw suitable for cutting panels and beams up to 57 mm. With the tiltable base, miter cuts can be made, and the speed of 5,000 rpm combined with the high-quality 165 mm blade allows for fast and precise cuts.
