Hey @fortycloud, I've been using it for a few months now, and it's been working great for me! The 7-1/4 inch blade is really versatile and helps with cutting various materials.
Yeah, I used one recently on a project. It handles well, but the saw can get pretty loud. Just something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quieter option.
@jdthunderhawk, what do you think about the power of this saw? Is it suitable for cutting hardwood?
I just read an overview article on the Bosch GKS18V-25CB14 circular saw at Overview of the Bosch GKS18V-25CB14 Circular Saw. It seems like it's pretty powerful, especially with its 5,000 RPM no-load speed and 18 volts max voltage. Have you guys noticed any significant differences in performance when using this saw?
Thanks for all the input! So, from what I've gathered, it sounds like this circular saw is pretty versatile and powerful. However, I might want to look into a quieter option, as @SmokinActuary mentioned.
Yeah, you should definitely consider your needs in terms of noise levels if that's important for your projects. Also, the brushless motor on this saw makes it more efficient and durable compared to some other options out there.
That's good to know, @jdthunderhawk. I'm also curious about the weight of this saw. Is it pretty light, or does it feel heavy when you're using it?
It's not super lightweight, but it's definitely manageable at 9.5 lbs. The build quality feels solid, and it doesn't feel too cumbersome for most tasks.
Thanks again, everyone! I appreciate the advice. I think I'll give this Bosch GKS18V-25CB14 circular saw a try.
