Description
Bosch Syneon Chip – The technology that Bosch has researched in recent years has come on leaps and bounds and with the introduction of the Syneon chip makes their power tools even better. The Syneon chip was designed to control the inner components in such a way that they are used much more efficiently and in return offer the user more power during its toughest assignments. This Bosch Circular Saw has the Bosch syneon chip integrated into its design so users can be sure their power is getting used much more efficiently at the right times. Lightweight – Bosch wanted to introduce a circular saw to the power tool market that was not only powerful and robust but they also wanted to manufacture one that was lightweight and easy to use for prolonged periods – with the Bosch PKS 18 LI Cordless Circular Saw they have done just that and this power tool only weighs 2.6kg.
after receiving the saw i opened the box as was a tad disheartened as it looked and felt like a toy in comparison to my previous saw, which weight a ton. CutControl Function - The saw has a CutControl function which lets you precisely guide the saw along a straight line. Suitability / Performance - The Bosch PKS 18 LI Circular Saw is an easy to handle tool which achieves precise/straight cuts. It's suitable for cutting laminate, squared timber, material panels, and more. It has a blade diameter of 150mm and a guide plate width of 133mm. It achieves a cutting depth of up to 36mm at 46 degrees and 48mm at 90 degrees. So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however.CutControl – The Bosch CutControl technology means users are able to follow marked lines with easy thanks to the circular saws guide. Users can be sure their cuts are precise at 90 degree and 45 degree bevel angles. The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing. PowerForAll has many advantages not least the fact that once you have a tool with a few batteries then there is no need to buy the more expensive versions with battery & charger, you can just go ahead & buy the much cheaper no battery versions!
The Syneon Chip constantly analyses the power requirement and draws just as much energy from the battery as needed, for optimum power during high-powered tasks and maximum endurance during less intense jobs. the cuts were accurate and clean, my only gripe with the saw was the supplied balde was only 18 teeth, for the project i`ll be using it for, i need a finer cut, but finding blades of 150mm is a bit scarce. Dust extraction – The dust extraction technology is one of the handiest features available and it will keep your working environment clean and tidy and in return provide a safe area to work in. Parallel guide offers assistance for straight cuts in wood-based materials. Ability to make easy adjustments to cutting depth and angle This product carries a full 3 year manufacturers warranty covering both faulty materials and faulty workmanship, it does not cover general wear and tear or damage, batteries, blades, bulbs and other consumables. In the unlikely event of a fault the item returned is subject to fair wear & tear and must not have been used beyond the scope of it's design. Please note that cordless products will normally have a shorter warranty of just 1 Year for the battery and or charger supplied.the saw is light in the hand and clearly well built, very comfortable grip and easy to use trigger. Made a few practice cuts into some scrap 40mm batons, which it became very clear that this saw was indeed no toy and sliced through the wood with easy and with very little noise from the saw itself.
Cordless drill should also be light. This particular aspect hasn’t been mentioned up to this moment. Why? Because all the suggestions mentioned above were neither heavy nor light. Dordless circular saw by Ryobi fits this particular aspect perfectly. Less than 3 kg (5.5 pounds), precise and ideal for any type of wood. Ryobi R18CS-0 ONE+ guarantees us multifunctional sawing applications as well as very easy to set options, giving us the chance to adjust each and every element (including bevel adjustments). The thing that stands out compared to other tools is amazing cut capacity. At 90 degrees we’ve got 52mm and 36mm at 45 degrees. We need to bear in mind that there are other functions hiding behind the tool. One of them is Auto-shift, and the second one is Touch start button. They make it very easy to use the tool. Sadly, people are complaining about battery life. Vacuum Cleaner Adaptor - The Bosch PKS 18 LI Circular Saw has an integrated vacuum cleaner adaptor which lets you directly extract dust into a vacuum cleaner. As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable. While looking for home and garden tools, Makita is the manufacturer we should always take under consideration. The quality of finishing, the performance – this reputable company is well-known for creating high-quality products that can astonish us with its results. The blade is equipped with robust teeth, capable of cutting 165mm deep. Other interesting functions featured in this tool is the possibility to set speed control automatically. Another important element you should bear in mind is electric brake. It improves the safety and facilitates the use of the product. In here we can also find soft start as well as overload protection systems (among other thing, electronic current limiter). The tool can boast with reduced friction. Thanks to that the motor can work for a longer time, without any overheating. Another benefit of using Makita DHS680Z is the fact that it takes less than 30 minutes to charge the Li-Ion battery.
