The GKS 55+ G Professional and GKS 55+ GCE Professional allow you to make cuts that are up to 15 percent deeper with a 165 mm blade. This is made possible by the new two-stage gearbox transmission system. The center gear in the new circular saws is considerably smaller than in the predecessor model and the second gear that drives the blade itself has been shifted downwards. As a result, the saw blade can now plunge deeper. This means the new saws expand the range of applications for the tool even further, while remaining light and comfortable.
High precision through compatibility with Bosch guideways
The new circular saws are extremely accurate. The “G” in their name means they are ideal for use with the Bosch FSN Professional guide rail system. The base plate is made of aluminum and equipped with two small slots that allow the tool to be attached to guides and other manufacturers. Cutting depths of 45 degrees are comparable to a right angle.
With a weight of only 3.8 kg the two circular saws can produce cuts up to 63 mm deep. Powerful motor for the highest output. The GKS 55+ G Professional in particular has a 1200 watt motor, the GKS 55+ GCE Professional has a 1350 watt motor. The GKS 55+ GCE also has a preselectable speed option. This enables continuous blade rotation even with deep cuts in hard materials. The new circular saws are suitable for cutting wood, aluminium and copper, plastic materials. Both tools are equipped with an automatic blade stop function that prevents the user from accidentally damaging the cutting surface.
The handheld circular saw, the guide rail system, the various accessories – all from the same Bosch manufacturer, so they work perfectly together.
The FSN Professional guide system varies in length from 800 to 3100 mm. FSN Professional accessories include the FSN VEL Professional connecting piece that fastens multiple saws together safely and securely, FSN KZW Professional clamps, FSN WAN Professional angle stop.
The Bosch Expert for Wood circular saw blades guarantee high performance and a long service life thanks to the carbide inserts. Special coating protects against corrosion and reduces friction. The holes in the blade ensure smooth running and a significant reduction in noise during operation compared to other circular saw blades.
The GKS 55+ G Professional and GKS 55+ GCE Professional went on sale to specialist retailers in September 2015. The guide systems are available in the professional accessories section.
