Bosch PRO GKS 18V-68-2 Cordless Brushless Hand-Held Circular Saw 190mm (Bare Tool) | 06016D0000.
Experience powerful cordless cutting with the Bosch PRO GKS 18V-68-2 Cordless Brushless Circular Saw. Engineered for professional carpenters, joiners and construction tradespeople, this high-performance 18V circular saw combines exceptional cutting speed, enhanced overload capacity and intelligent safety features to deliver efficient results across demanding woodworking applications.
The GKS 18V-68-2 features a powerful brushless motor that delivers cutting performance equivalent to a 1400W corded circular saw. This provides the strength needed to cut through demanding materials without the restrictions of a power cable. Its enhanced overload capacity helps maintain performance when cutting through dense hardwood and other challenging wooden materials, reducing interruptions caused by stalling.
Designed for productivity, the saw operates at a no-load speed of 5225–5775rpm, providing fast cutting performance for crosscuts, rip cuts and bevel cuts. Its 190mm saw blade delivers a maximum cutting depth of 69mm at 90°, making it suitable for a wide range of timber cutting and construction applications.
The GKS 18V-68-2 handles various wood types, including softwoods such as pine and hardwoods such as walnut. It is also suitable for cutting multi-layer oriented strand board (OSB), making it a versatile solution for construction, woodworking and installation projects.
For improved operator protection, Bosch has equipped the saw with KickBack Control. This intelligent system helps reduce the risk of injury associated with sudden kickback during cutting. An intelligent brake system provides additional protection by helping stop the blade after the cutting operation.
An integrated LED light illuminates the cutting area, improving visibility when working in poorly lit environments. This practical feature helps users follow the intended cutting line more easily and maintain accurate cutting performance.
The saw also features a paddle switch for convenient operation and a dust extraction adapter that allows connection to a suitable dust extraction system. Effective dust removal helps maintain a clearer cutting area and contributes to a cleaner working environment.
Despite its powerful cutting capability, the GKS 18V-68-2 weighs just 3.5kg, excluding the battery and saw blade. Its lightweight construction improves manoeuvrability and helps reduce fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.
Whether cutting timber for construction, preparing wooden panels, making precise crosscuts or completing bevel cuts, the Bosch PRO GKS 18V-68-2 delivers an excellent combination of cordless convenience, professional cutting performance and advanced safety features.
