Product Information

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 tool features a user-friendly variable speed control dial, allowing users to adjust the cutting speed to suit different materials and cutting requirements, providing precise and customized control. I’ll start this off by saying that I am a person partial to Makita products as I have faithfully used them for years. A plunge cut involves any cut that is in the interior of a piece of wood. Think of a square cut out of a rectangle. These drills have a specific job of being precise and clean with the cuts as oftentimes, tight and specific parameters are needed for whatever may be installed into the hole. This is something that a regular circular saw simply can’t do efficiently. So we need to add some kind of guide rail for the saw to run along precisely. This ensures stability and precision.

The GKT 18V-52 GC Professional cordless plunge saw delivers corded performance and superior compactness in Bosch's 18v category. Its innovative BITURBO Brushless technology and ProCORE18V provide maximum cordless cutting performance fully equal to corded 1,620 W plunge saws. With that said, this is an amazing saw with great ergonomics. It just feels good in the hand. With the slightly higher price point, I was expecting a little more power, but I was surprised to see the 1200-watt motor handled pretty much everything and was more than ample.

The GKT 55 GCE Professional corded plunge saw delivers highly precise, clean cuts in a variety of materials. Its high-quality machine components, precision saw blade, and matching guide rail system ensure extremely precise results. The saw’s efficient dust extraction system and noise-reduced blade make work comfortable, especially indoors. Furthermore, its adjustable speed setting enables cuts in a multitude of materials. Equipment & Application Bosch GKT 18 V-52 GC+GCY 30-4 Professional 18 V Plunge Saw - Better than a corded plunge saw: Superior mobility with corded performance in the 18V category The first is the depth of cut. This is determined by the size of the blade and the depth of the throat plate. For most applications, a depth of 2-3 inches will be sufficient. However, for more intricate work, a saw with a deeper throat plate may be necessary. Innovative BITURBO brushless motor for maximum cordless cutting performance equal to a 1620 W corded plunge saw (designed for maximum performance with a ProCore battery ≥ 5.5 Ah)The GKT 18V-52 GC Professional cordless plunge saw delivers corded performance and superior compactness in Bosch´s 18 V category.

The saw offers superior mobility due to its uniquely compact design allowing operation with only one battery. Its very compact tool design enables the closest distance between the saw blade and the wall at only 10 mm. Equipment & Application The second factor to consider is the size of the motor. A larger motor will be able to handle more strenuous cutting tasks. However, it is also important to consider the weight of the saw. A heavier saw can be more difficult to manoeuvre, making it more difficult to make accurate cuts.

With a soft start mechanism, the tool gradually increases its speed upon activation, preventing sudden jerks or movements that can affect the accuracy of the cut or potentially cause damage to the material.

So to start, what exactly is a plunge saw and why is it so important for my kitchen renovation? Furthermore, why is a plunge cut saw different from a regular circular saw? These are all questions that will be answered momentarily. The third factor to consider is the type of blade. There are two main types of blades: carbide-tipped and diamond-tipped. Carbide-tipped blades are more durable and can withstand more wear and tear. Diamond-tipped blades, on the other hand, are designed for more delicate work and can provide a cleaner cut. Which plunge saw should you buy? As the second cheapest saw on this list, I was really pleased with the quality of the build as well as its cutting power.

Also, the Universal vacuum system adapter with 360 rotation was a nice added feature. I had a bag lying around and was easily able to attach it to this. On a final note, for its price, the Tritons motor was 1400 watts of raw power, which is normally only reserved for models that are a couple of hundred pounds more.
