Ensure that the tool is connected to the power supply but do not activate the on/off switch while adjusting the laser.

Extraction (1) is fixed and collects dust and collects chips as blade slides to the rear during cutting. There are many different uses for the saw, here are a couple of common jobs that it may be used for to give you an idea of the work it can take on. As the ability of the saw to work in commercial settings goes up so do the safety features. While we’re reviewing this for a domestic setting, it’s a model that is very popular with professionals too. A saw that is in constant use needs to be robust for the user and needs to assist with keeping the working environment a safe place.Class 1M lasers are safer for user than laser class 2. Removable laser lens dust cover for ease of cleaning. I still made the point of adjusting the fence to find out how easy it was to fine-tune the saw though. It’s not quite as simple as adjusting the Einhell TC-MS 2112, but then this is a much more complicated beast to deal with overall.

Bosch integrated soft-start module provides smooth start-up and reduces chance of blowing circuit fuse at start-up and when used on long extension cables or transformers.Like the Metabo KGS216M, the fence comes in two parts to allow the blade to pass by at extreme angles. But unlike the Metabo, the fence is incredibly solid. The heavyweight machined aluminium rails slide out of the way but don’t have the wobble that put me off the other German brand on my list. When tightened down the fence feels rigid and flat. This mitre saw offers a very powerful cut, giving very clean and accurate angles. The 1600 watt motor allows this saw to glide smoothly through large pieces of timber with absolute accuracy all day long. The included 216mm blade gives a large cutting size with a depth of 7cm and cutting width of 31.2 cm which will allow you to cut some large 4 by 2 inch timbers, large planks as well as the finishing touches around the house.

The main job of a saw like this is to make accurate and repeatable cuts at a variety of different angles, so I did just that. Using standard CLS timber, I cut at both 0° and 45°, and used the angle adjustment to make some compound cuts as well.

Laser class 2 -Laser class for measuring tools - For speed and accuracy when repetitive cuts are made there is an intergrated highly visibile laser showing the cut line Make sure the tool is connected to the power supply, but do not activate the on/off button while adjusting the laser. Even the best chop saw on my list comes with a long list of safety precautions to take before it’s good to use. Following the guidelines in the weighty instruction manual are essential to help avoid injury, and I’m glad they’re well laid out and studded with helpful diagrams. To adjust the laser when the saw blade and laser are not aligned on the Bosch GCM 8 SJL saw, follow these steps: Less weight, less dust, more performance: the compact GCM 8 SJL Professional offers cleaner solutions when it comes to cutting through large workpieces. Its cutting capacity of 70 mm vertical and 312 mm horizontal makes it ideal for sawing large workpieces. With a 2-point dust extraction system, the mitre saw provides optimised dust management, allowing for a clean work area during operation. It has a light, compact and design.The Bosch Professional GCM 8 SJL sliding mitre saw is a lightweight and accurate cutter. The saw's improved 2-point dust extraction facility protects you from airborne dust particles during use and it also features a laser cutting guide so you know exactly where to cut. The single-bevel saw has a no load speed of 5500rpm, meaning it can handle tough cutting jobs. It also has a built-in workpiece clamp to keep your project firmly in place and give you full control and stability while you work. The Bosch Professional GCM JL sliding mitre saw also features extension arms for work on larger pieces of material. When it comes to vibration emission, the Bosch GCM 8 SJL produces 2.5 m/s², which is within acceptable limits for most users. However, it is important to note that there is an uncertainty K factor of 1.5 m/s², which should be considered for more accurate assessments of vibration levels. Turn on the laser using the switch. The laser should align with the cutting line on the workpiece along its entire length, even when the tool arm is guided downwards. In terms of its physical characteristics, the Bosch GCM 8 SJL weighs 17300 g, which may be considered relatively heavy compared to other saws on the market. It has dimensions of 910 mm in depth, 410 mm in height, and 460 mm in width, allowing for easy maneuverability and storage. Credit subject to status and affordability. Terms and conditions apply.
