Bosch GKT 55GCE

[@learnerlearns]

Excellent demonstration! It only left me with these questions: 1~ How much? 2~ Is it available in the USA yet? 3~ Who sells it? 4~ Does it have a riving knife?

[@susanpersaud1464]

Great demonstration, quick question wide can the parallel guide go. Whats the widest cut you can do with it.

[@ttvills]

Thank you mikrandar!! I wonder when this saw will be introduced in the USA!

[@TRUE_GR1T]

for the guide rail they should have also made spots for strong magnets that would go on the opposite side of whatever you are cutting

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

I do wish this Bosch saw were available here in the US. The Bosch / Mafell rails make them the only system worth owning. I had to go with the much more expensive Mafell.

[@marppp28]

Hi any news when cordless version is coming? All competitors have released cordless can’t wait because I have plenty of batteries and rails

[@alanholtham1]

Hi, Sorry, I am not familiar with the USA market, you would have to check with a dealer over there. The only question I can answer is that it doesn't have a riving knife. Cheers.

[@ningis21]

So...you have reviewed The Bosch and The Mafell..which in your opinion is the best...or which one would you buy ??

[@MatteNoob]

Just bought this saw, kind of bummed out I didn't get the Mafell which is superior, but at least I got one which is better than Festool, LOL!

[@PornobrillenAli]

In fact this saw is manufactured by Mafell.

[@goodall1bay]

This looks too much like a scaled back design based on the Mafell mt55cc ' which surely is no bad thing and the same for the rails, which are without a doubt, the best design out there

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

Absolutely correct. The rails are the only reason I went with the much more expensive Mafell system over Festool. Unfortunately Bosch is not available here in the US.

[@mattsitton6826]

Stringfellow Hawke they are showing these saws to ship in the U.S. in September.

[@AndeyKurniawan]

Only bad thing the rails allow the saw to till out at mitre cut. Have to be careful when doing extreme angles

[@JorgeChavez-xm2ew]

it's a shame they aren't selling it in the U.S. Bosch, please make this available in the U.S.!

[@JorgeChavez-xm2ew]

I went ahead and bought a Festool saw. Love it.

[@JorgeChavez-xm2ew]

Do you have one? Cause if they're selling them in Europe only I would think the voltage would not be rated for U.S. use. Or you would have to buy a converter.

[@JorgeChavez-xm2ew]

That's strange because i contacted Bosch and they told me it wasn't. i would have bought one but a friend had a Festool saw and i was hooked.

[@gonzaloquevedo5586]

That tool its in metric scale. Not imperial. Maybe for USA its another code number/ model

[@tonkatoytruck]

Would have been nice to demonstrate the quality of the cuts. After all, that is the only real reason to own one.

[@ronaldomac566]

Question........ Is this better than the Makita SP6000J2...?! I think the Makita is approx £100 cheaper aswell...?

[@AtifHasanReflections]

Hey Alan, you got me confused between your last demo of Makita SP6000 and this Bosch GKT55GCE. I was about to buy Makita when i saw this demo. Please suggest which one is your personal choice ?? I need to make a decision quickly.

[@ttvills]

Hello, nice presentation, I have a question. Is that rail system compatible with the Mafell saws? Thank you!!

[@APRIL2862]

The only main difference I see between the Bosch and the Makita, the Makita can be locked into the guide rail when cutting 45 degrees, preventing tip over. I still like the Makita better!

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

Yup, that's a nifty little goshwhanger they forgot.

[@ThekiBoran]

April Mae I have the Makita cordless track saw. It's excellent, but unlike the Bosch and Festool the Makita doesn't have a quick release depth stop. For example, in 3/4" material, for super clean cuts on all 4 sides of a cut, I do a scoring cut/pass then drop the blade depth in literally 1/4 of a second, (no screwing needed) to change it to do a full depth cut. Circular saw, Festool, Makita, Bosch, if you do the shallowest possible scoring cut first you will have zero tearout on all 4 sides of a cut. With Festool and Bosch those depth changes can be made almost instantaneously. I still think highly of my Makita track saw, it just takes longer to change the depth of cut. If you're doing a lot of narrow rip cuts the Festool and Bosch saves a ton of time.

[@erniebuliag6590]

How much price sir

[@oorangejuce]

Want this for my birthday!

[@69sungam]

So.... this week its Bisch....?

[@sebastiaanstoffels7565]

Bosch should make the Anti Kickback accessory free and included with the saw. I had a kickback and destroyed my 1600mm guide rail. Other than that, it's a great saw. I just wish they had built in anti kickback like some competing saws, or at the very least include the darn anti kickback afterthought - i mean, accessory - gratis with the saw.

[@skillwoodchippy2017]

Bosch copied the rail system directly from Mafell,in fact I ve been told at the tool store,that bosch saws are manufactured in a Mafell factory.I own both,but the Mafell is the best than all the rest.

[@wrightwoodwork]

My understanding is mafell makes the rails Evan the bosch rails in return bosch makes the batteries for there cordless saws. Mafell is in a different league to other power tools and is also in a different price range

[@NotonlyWood]

+wrightwoodwork At least in germany maffell is for real professional carpenters

[@patricelebrasseur5649]

bosch own mafell

[@opi.kchannel1644]

Im interested

[@ploetzlich30]

8:06, the slim design blade guard, allows you tight cuts to an edge. aahhh! is that the reason why they didn´t show how tight you can cut to the wall? because it will about 30mm or so? tight means tight, and not lose! this saw would be perfect if: 1.) it had a riving knife, 2.) a flat blade guard for tight wall cuts,

[@sebastiaanstoffels7565]

3.) Anti-Kickback included standard with the saw.

[@mide-ji6iv]

All in one?

[@hinduspl]

too bad that the height adjustment doesnt have this micro adjustment knob - (festool ts55)

[@mikrandr]

yes, it is

[@rvd914104]

台灣要去哪裡買~~~~

[@hinduspl]

is this bosch have this scorecut feature like makita sp6000?

[@inhmaiphuong2188]

,

[@hinduspl]

?

[@MrNubix]

Nope it doesnt.

[@alencosic9830]

festool

[@faizelm4066]

why does festool use so much plastic on their tools? ,not to mention the ridiculous prices!.

[@Slayer66642]

Hi, my name is Arnold. The first plunge saw I saw was the Festool No other company can beat their system

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

The Festool _saws_ are very nice. But their rails are not very good. The Mafell/Bosch rails self align when joined with no worry about being straight & true.

[@WV591]

protruding dust connection.

[@sverduijn1]

This video sounds like a commercial

[@ea1972]

Holy crap, this is a Festool with a blue paintjob!

[@kyzenlanx]

No, it's a Mafell :) Not that cheap nasty FeStool nonsense :P

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

This has no resemblence to any of the Festools. It's very close to the Mafell Mt-55.

[@alhos22]

Can you introduce me to the price of the beautiful goddess

[@xxnickthegreekxx]

Mafell

[@johnsimpson99]

This video isn't a review, it's an advertisement.

[@100gvolpe]

Bosch non ci sono paragoni.

[@mdz6bj]

Festool TS55R much better saw!

[@deserteagle1166]

Michael Zhang Zhang YES! because it's NOT made in China!

[@leonardorojas1781]

Wow! Makita track saw is much nicer and better!
