The Bosch GCM 8 SDE is a 216mm sliding compound mitre saw for trade and serious DIY use. It makes cross, mitre, bevel and groove cuts. It handles timber, wood composites, floor panels, aluminium and plastic. Pick it if you want one saw for joinery, framing and finish carpentry.
The rails stretch the cut to 312mm wide at 90 degrees. At a 45 degree mitre you get 225mm. Height of cut is 70mm. Bevel goes 47 degrees left and right. Mitre runs 52 degrees left and 60 degrees right. A laser guide shows where the blade will land.
The 1600W motor runs from 3,500 to 5,000 rpm. Why does that matter? Slower speeds suit aluminium and plastic. Soft start stops the blade kicking as it spins up. The saw weighs 18.9kg and has a one handed carry handle. Blade changes need no tools.
It is compact and easy to carry between rooms. It has two point dust extraction and works with Bosch Click and Clean. A 48 tooth wood blade and a clamp come in the box. It suits skirting, architrave and cladding jobs.
