Bosch GTS 18V-216 Professional Cordless Table Saw

The Bosch GTS 18V-216 Professional is a high-performance cordless table saw engineered for precision and mobility in professional woodworking and construction environments. Powered by an advanced brushless motor and the 18V battery system, this tool delivers consistent cutting power without the constraints of a power cord. Its robust design ensures stability during operation, while the optimized construction allows for efficient handling of various materials, making it a reliable choice for demanding job sites.

Advantages

This table saw stands out due to its combination of high cutting capacity and portability. The brushless motor technology maximizes energy efficiency and tool longevity, while the compatibility with the ProCORE18V battery system ensures high performance for intensive tasks. The ergonomic design, featuring integrated handles and secure on-board storage for fences and blade guards, simplifies transportation between different work areas. Furthermore, safety features such as soft start and restart protection provide enhanced user control during operation.

Suitable for

• Longitudinal and cross-cutting of wood and laminated panels
• Professional construction and carpentry projects requiring high mobility
• Precision cutting tasks where corded power is unavailable

This tool may not be suitable for heavy-duty industrial ripping of extremely thick or dense hardwood beams that exceed its 70 mm cutting height capacity. Additionally, users who require continuous, non-stop operation for an entire shift may find the battery-powered nature less convenient than a corded alternative unless multiple high-capacity batteries are available.

Key specifications

• Saw blade diameter: 216 mm
• Cutting height: 70 mm
• Rip capacity: 635 mm
• Weight with battery: 21.6 kg
• Sound pressure level: 81 dB
• Sound power level: 94 dB
• Motor type: Brushless

How to use

To operate the Bosch GTS 18V-216, ensure the battery is fully charged and securely inserted into the battery port. Adjust the fence and blade guard according to the required cutting dimensions. Before starting, verify that the workpiece is stable and clear of obstructions. Engage the power switch to activate the soft start feature, allowing the blade to reach full speed before making contact with the material. Always maintain a firm grip on the workpiece and feed it steadily through the blade, keeping hands at a safe distance.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with existing Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers
• Requirement for high-capacity batteries (ProCORE18V 5.5 Ah or higher) for maximum performance
• Compatibility with specific Bosch saw stands like the GTA 560 or GTA 60 W
• The necessity of a dust extraction solution for cleaner working environments

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and maximum power, it is recommended to use ProCORE18V batteries with a capacity of 5.5 Ah or greater. Always inspect the blade for sharpness and ensure the blade guard is correctly positioned before every use to maintain safety and cutting accuracy.
