Solution

I've used the Bosch GKS18V-25CB14 before and it's quite powerful. The brushless motor lasts longer and is more efficient than a brushed motor.

I agree with you guys, the Bosch saw is amazing! Its no-load speed of 5,000 RPM allows for fast and smooth cuts, especially in hardwoods.

Another great aspect of the Bosch GKS18V-25CB14 is its 8 Ah battery. This allows for a long runtime without needing to swap batteries frequently.

Thanks for all the input! I'm leaning towards the Bosch saw now. How does it perform when cutting plywood?

The Bosch GKS18V-25CB14 works great with plywood too! It has a 90-degree depth of 2-1/2 inches which is more than enough for most plywood cutting tasks.

And the bevel angle range of 0-50 degrees makes it versatile for different angles and cuts.

That's true, the Bosch saw also has a weight of 9.5 lbs, so it's not too heavy to carry around when you need to move between workstations.

Sounds perfect! I'll probably go ahead and get the Bosch GKS18V-25CB14. Thanks again for all the help!

No problem, happy cutting!
