The Bosch GKS18V-68-2B16X delivers corded-equivalent framing and rip-cutting performance in an 18V cordless blade-right platform. Engineered with a brushless motor delivering 5,500 RPM no-load speed, this 7-1/4 in. circular saw cuts through 2x dimensional lumber, plywood, LVL, and sheet goods smoothly without stalling under heavy jobsite feed pressure.

The saw provides an expanded cut capacity of 2-9/16 in. at 90 degrees, allowing operators to crosscut 2x material at steep bevels or slice through stacked sheet goods in a single pass. A bevel range of 0 to 50 degrees with positive detents accommodates standard rafter, truss, and framing cuts. An electric motor brake halts blade rotation quickly when releasing the trigger, increasing safety and shortening time between cuts.

For jobsite cleanliness, the saw features a 360-degree pivoting dust port that directs chips away from the cut path or connects directly to the included dust extraction vacuum attachment. Weighing 7.7 lbs. (tool only), the saw includes an integrated rafter hook for hanging from joists and an onboard LED light that tracks the blade kerf along marked lines. This kit includes the EXPERT 18V 6.0 Ah High Power battery, a charger, a carbide blade, and a carrying bag.

Features & Benefits

• High-Speed Brushless Motor: Delivers 5,500 RPM for fast, smooth cutting across framing lumber, engineered timbers, and sheet panels.
• 2-9/16 in. Cut Depth: Generous 90-degree cut capacity easily cuts through 2-by material in a single pass even when baseplate angles are adjusted.
• 50-Degree Bevel Capacity: Offers a 0 to 50 degree bevel range with clear degree markings for compound framing cuts.
• Electric Motor Brake: Rapidly stops blade rotation after trigger release, improving workflow speed and operator safety.
• Vari-Torque Clutch: Protects internal drivetrain components and motor electronics by absorbing mechanical impact during sudden blade binds.
• 360-Degree Pivoting Dust Port: Rotates fully to point discharge away from the user or attach to the vacuum adapter for dust containment.
• Blade-Right Configuration: Traditional blade-right layout balances smoothly on wide sheets and offers stable shoe contact for right-handed operators.
• Integrated Rafter Hook: Retractable hook allows safe suspension from framing studs, joists, and staging ladders between cuts.

We reserve the right to determine the fastest and most cost-effective manner of transportation for all orders that qualify for free shipping. Our shipping carriers cannot deliver to PO box or U.S. military post office box addresses, such as APO and FPO, so we require a physical street address for delivery.
