Works great

This saw is awesome.Many people who have seen it say its super cute.I like it for doing rips on plywood in parking lots.The best thing is how little dust this makes versus a big circular saw that just vaporizes the wood. It makes little chips that dont get kicked up into your face or lungs

Perfect for my hand size and is a beast. I am afraid of my full size circular saw but this little thing cuts like butter and is easy to control. The only thing I did not like was the price, but I see why it costs.

This thing is awesome. Obviously it doesn't have a massive depth of cut and it isn't super powerful but if you are just looking to cut plywood and hardwoods up to ~3/4 or an inch or 20mm it works very well and is extremely handy and portable. It is also very quiet for a circular saw. You might even be able to get away using it in an apartment without disturbing neighbors too much.The only negatives I can think of is the complete lack of any kind of dust extraction port and the fact that Bosch makes/made a base that allows this to be a quite nice little track saw but that base is not widely available.

ive now cut plywood and 1/2" aluminum with this thing and have had zero issues doing it. i am very pleased with this and it is worth every penny.

I have purchased many Bosch 12V tools over the years, and still use them all in the work that I do... renovating and remodeling of 100 year old buildings, as well as working on sailboats... these tools do come in handy when working in tight small spaces ... I purchased this Bosch Professional Cordless Circular Saw back in 2/7/2018 (thanks Amazon, that's 6 years ago, do the math) and still use it, as well as many other of their 12V tools...the short list: this circular saw, impact driver, drill driver, multi tool, right angle drill/driver, jig saw, plus a couple more I can't remember at the moment...In addition, I own a slew of the Bosch corded tools, one of which is their 25th Anniversary Worm Drive Circular Saw, and one of my favorites, the Colt Palm Router...What I am "drill driving" at (ha) is, I have purchased several various after market blades in both fractional and MM with no luck getting them to work in this circular saw and the 15mm/ 19/32" diameter arbor size.... Have I mentioned that I've begun collecting those 20v yellow colored tools because of lack of Bosch's after purchase support... so don't get me started, still a Bosch fan. TIM

It's tiny. That's clearly represented in the specs. For trim, cabinetry, and other finish work that can be accomplished within the available cutting depth-this saw is absolutely incredible! One of the best tool purchases I've found in years. My only minor issue would be that the led light is not especially well placed and it's hard to see from the left/back of the blade. A laser line would be ideal, and I might cannablize one from a no-brand saw.The cuts are consistent and smooth. I can't believe how quiet it runs. I'm extremely impressed with the electric stop that keeps the blade from spinning if the trigger is not engaged. The deck is easy to adjust without being easy to adjust unintentionally/knock out of place. I made 42 cuts at an odd (56°) angle, and there was no difference between the first through the last when measured by protractor. Bosch hit it out of the park with this little beauty. This saw alone is worth breaking into the 12v line, and it's a shame that it's so hard to find in the states.

Big Bosch Fan. I have at least 6 of their tools. Most are very durable and great performing.Not this toy.Cons:Blade on right makes viewing cuts very difficult.Not enough torque to perform light jobs. This saw stalled out multiple times while cutting 3/16 In. Exterior sheathing.Returned it.

This Bosch 10.8/12 volt lithium battery operated saw is perfect for small DIY jobs around the home. From garden stakes to size, to cutting boards for shelves, it really works.I own several of the large 12V/ 6A (GBA12V60) extended capacity batteries which are perfect for comparatively larger product. The GBA12V60 are the highest capacity 12v batteries made by Bosch at this time. Obviously the a big draw of battery operated tools is not having to drag around and trip over cords.The blades for the GKS-10.8 saw are 85mm 3-3/8”) diameter with a 15mm hole in the middle. I have not been able to source Bosch brand blades in the USA, however, there are plenty of others manufacturers to choose from. Amazon, Menards, HomeDepot and Lowe’s sell blades made by Performax, Dremel, Rockwell and others. There are specialty blades made for wood, plywood, metal, plastic and ceramic material. Dremel makes some nice multi-material blades that slice thru pretty much everything one might typically find in a home/apartment.More on blades. Blades, depending on the brand name and application, cost between $7 and $10 each, and often are packaged several types in a pegboard package. At that price, it’s possible to buy two or three of the most frequently used, thus saving time a bother if an unanticipated trip to the home improvement center. Part of the GKS10.8 ability to make numerous cuts quickly and efficiently is owed to a thin blade. The “kerf” or the width of the teeth/space removed is but a couple millimeters (about and 1/8th”) wide. That said, not much wood is being wasted, nor dust being tossed about. So there’s that.This saw, although somehow available in the USA, is a bit difficult to find add on accessories for. In googling around, there is a dust collection hood one can purchase as a spare part, and in theory, attach a vacuum hose to. Well, whatever. If your OCD requires. Practically, no.The GKS 10.8 is a well built saw. High impact plastic material similar to all the other tools Bosch sells. The metallic base it solid, no skimping. The motor housing has a button one pushes to lock the shaft of the motor, and an included Allen hex wrench (with an onboard storage slot!) is then used to loosen and tighten the screw to change blades. A real steel blade guard offers excellent protect to hands and fingers while in operation. As with corded tools, always disconnect batteries and/or cords before changing blades or other accessories. Always wear protective eyewear while operating power tools.One strategy for making precise, accurate, and straight cuts, is to use something as an edge guide. A straightedge, as it were. I have a couple pieces of aluminum angle that I will clamp down. For this saw, a home center yard or meter stick would work excellent. Add a couple small C-clamps and there you go.So yes, I really do like the Bosch GKS-10.8 cordless saw. Matched to the right project application, it’s the perfect small saw for something less that commercial carpentry or major remodeling. For modest projects where one just doesn’t want to drag out the arsenal for one simple cut. Fits in a toolbox, uses standard Bosch 10.8/12V charging bases. Elegant.

It was a Xmas gift and worked perfect.. Looks cute, works like a charm
