What is the adjustable fence for. I can see the slot is for a track guide but why the step on the fence makes it useless. Review: Impressively capable for a 12V saw, excellent control and build, clear limits on depth - Update after a few weeks: surprised me once I stopped treating it like a full-size saw I already own larger 18V circular saws, so when I bought the Bosch Professional GKS 12V-26 it was to fill a very specific gap. I wanted something compact for sheet materials and small jobs where pulling out a full-size saw felt unnecessary. I picked it up in a Christmas desertcart sale for under £90 after a lot of hesitation. I’ll be honest, my first impression wasn’t great. It felt small, almost under powered compared to bigger cordless saws, and I did briefly wonder if I’d made a mistake. On paper, it doesn’t look like it should be capable of much. That changed once I actually put it to work properly. After a few weeks of use, mostly on plywood, OSB, MDF and smaller trimming jobs, it’s proven to be far more capable than its size suggests. It won’t muscle through material like a framing saw, but if you let it do the work, it cuts cleanly and accurately. The key is not to force it. Accuracy is one of its strongest points. The saw tracks straight, visibility of the cut line is excellent, and the full-length base plate makes a real difference. I’ve trimmed a couple of millimeters off panels without drama, which is actually easier with this than with a heavier saw. Battery choice matters. With a decent Bosch 12V battery, runtime has been better than expected for small to medium jobs, but this is not a tool that rewards tiny batteries or impatience. Used sensibly, it’s efficient rather than punchy. One practical note from real use: on MDF, it behaves much better with dust extraction. Without it, the cut can bind and stall if you push too hard. On softwood, ply, and OSB I haven’t noticed this at all. Again, it’s about using it within its comfort zone. Build quality has held up well. Nothing has loosened, adjustments still lock firmly, and it feels like a properly engineered tool rather than a novelty compact saw. This won’t replace a full-size circular saw, and anyone buying it expecting that will be disappointed. But as a secondary saw for sheet goods, trimming, and quick jobs, it’s become something I reach for far more often than I expected simply because it’s quick, accurate, and easy to control. At under £90 it was an easy decision. At full price, it still makes sense if you understand what it’s designed for. ## Features - The most compact design in its Class for perfect handling and versatile applications in wood - Excellent ergonomics: small grip circumference and light weight (only 1.4 kg) for maximum comfort - Practical battery charge level indicator can be used at any time to find out how much energy is left in the battery ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IO14B70 | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Batteries Required? | Yes | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 23,102 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 27 in Circular Saws | | Blade edge | High Carbon Steel / Tungsten Carbide | | Blade length | 8 Centimetres | | Certification | CE | | Colour | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,556) | | Date First Available | 20 Feb. 2014 | | Handle material | Plastic or Rubber | | Horsepower | 12 | | Included Components | 1 | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1.9 kg | | Item model number | 06016A1001 | | Manufacturer | Bosch Professional | | Measurement System | Metric | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 06016A1001 | | Pattern | Single | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 33.8 x 21 x 13.2 cm; 1.9 kg | | Size | 33.8 cm*21.0 cm*13.2 cm | | Special Features | Brushless | | Style | GKS 12 V-26 | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 180 watts | ## Product Details - **Blade material:** High Speed Steel - **Brand:** Bosch - **Colour:** Blue - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Surface recommendation:** Wood ## Images ![Professional 12V System GKS 12V-26 Cordless Circular Saw (Saw Blade Diameter: 85 mm, Without Battery/Charger) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cV4jjgyxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you adjust the height of the blade to cut different depths?** A: Yes you can adjust the blade for depth and angle of cut. It is an excellent small power tool and I recommend it without hesitation. **Q: Hello, Are there any tracks available for this saw? Thanks** A: I've used it with a Mac Allister rail, but it should also be compatible with standard Festool / Makita / Evolution / Triton rails. **Q: what is in the box** A: Depends on the option you select so please read the description very carefully. You can get just the saw - comes with the blade but not much else You can get the saw (with blade) with the Lboxx - no battery and no charger You can also get the fully featured kit of saw (with blade), 2x2.0Ah batteries, charger, Lboxx, parallel guide, and dust extractor attachment It is a great little saw and my recommendation is that whatever option you go for, look at investing in a 12V 4Ah or even 6Ah battery. **Q: How to remove the protective barrier over the blade?** A: Bosch Professional GKS 12 V-26 Cordless Circular Saw When bought new comes with two protective barriers round the Circular saw. 1. To protect the circular Saw teeth during transportation. This is a clear polyurethane cover round the circumference of the Circular Blade. This can simply be removed by cutting it off with a scissors or a knife. 2. The second protector is a black shroud which covers the Saw Blade when the saw is not in use. This shroud should not be removed. It automatically retracts when the Circular Saw is pushed along the line of cut during the cutting process. This shroud also protects the operator accidentally making contact with Circular Saw blade. Hope this answers your question. Stay healthy, safe and have a nice day. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light and powerful *by B***B on 13 May 2024* Great little saw using it to cut 18mm plywood. Easy to use and light.
