About this deal

This battery-powered plunge saw from Makita runs off two 18-volt batteries for a total of 36 volts of power, meaning that this is no weakling when it comes to slicing through plywood and other materials. While the manufacturer doesn't give an expected runtime for the batteries, many buyers specifically mentioned that even after multiple cuts, the battery charge was still at more than 50 percent. When the batteries do finally run down, it only takes around 45 minutes to recharge them. The saw has a 6 1/2-inch blade and variable speeds of 2,500 rpm to 6,300 rpm with a soft-start that lets you ease into cutting. It also has Makita's Automatic Speed Change Technology, which automatically adjusts the saw's speed and torque to best suit the performance of the tool. You can even use this plunge saw to cut through aluminum, man-made countertop materials such as Corian, and melamine, but you'll need to swap out the blade for an optional, material-specific blade to do so. Michelle Ullman is the home improvement/tool expert for The Spruce. She has extensive experience not only in writing about all things related to the home, but also in carrying out various DIY projects, including landscaping, painting, flooring, wallpapering, furniture makeovers, and simple repairs around the house and yard. The tools are equipped with speed preselection for sawing different materials. In the case of the cordless plunge circular saw, it is even possible to individually set the speed levels using the user interface (HMI) and a smartphone. The Bosch plunge saws have a maximum cutting depth of 57 mm (the GKT 55 GCE) and 52 mm (the GKT 18V-52 GC). The models offer a bevel angle of between -1° and 47° for making mitre cuts. This means that undercutting the mitre angle is not a problem either. There's a swiveling, 1 1/2-inch dust port that can be connected to your shop vac to keep sawdust under control; a welcome feature, as these types of saws can create a lot of dust. A few buyers felt that the 7.9-foot electrical cord was a bit too short—some other brands have cords that are 12 feet long—but that might not be an issue for you, depending on the size of materials you normally cut and the placement of electrical outlets in your workshop. The saw comes with a 55-inch guide rail. If you need longer rails, Makita sells a connector separately that lets you connect multiple rails together. You also get a sturdy plastic carrying case for the saw.

The plunge saws can be used not only with Bosch guide rails, but also with many competitors' rails. All of the plunge saws can also be connected to a dust extractorto ensure a clean working environment. The A-rated noise level of the power tool is typically as follows: Sound pressure level 92 dB(A); Sound power level 103 dB(A). Uncertainty K= 3 dB. High-quality machine components, precision saw blade, and matching guide rail system ensure extremely precise results Adjustable speed, powerful 1400 watt motor and Constant Electronic for cutting different materials such as wood, panel materials, aluminium and acrylic glass Measured values determined according to EN 60745.
