Bosch gave a sneak peak at JLC Live New England of its new plunge saw, set to be released this September.
Play slideshowBosch will be joining the plunge saw (aka track saw) game in September with the GKT12-225. It was first released at JLC Live 2018 New England. The corded saw will be available as a tool only in an L-Stack case for $599 (a cordless version is reportedly in the works, and will run on a single battery; whether that battery will be the 18V Bosch Core or a new multi-volt platform yet to be released is pure speculation at this point). Tracks for the system will be available in five sizes ranging from 28 inches to 122 inches; also available will be an edge guide (to be used without the track), a router adapter for the tracks, and special router tracks that have pre-drilled holes for doing shelving holes. The saw will come with a 6.5-inch 48-tooth blade. It draws 12 amps and is variable speed with a working range of 3,600-6,250 rpm. The depth adjustment clearly differentiates between track depth and without-track depth. Stay tuned for more.
(By the way, you know what they say: If it looks like a Mafell, and acts like a Mafell...)
