Bosch Circular Saw GKS18V-22LN 6-1/2 Inch Brushless Blade-Left 18V (5000 RPM 2-1/4 In Cut 50 Deg Bevel Electric Brake Carpenter Framing Bare Tool)

Bosch GKS18V-22LN 18V Brushless 6-1/2" Blade-Left Circular Saw (Bare Tool)

The Bosch GKS18V-22LN 18V brushless 6-1/2-inch cordless circular saw provides direct, unobstructed cut-line visibility for right-handed operators using an ergonomic blade-left configuration. Driven by a high-efficiency brushless motor delivering 5,000 RPM, this 6.1-lb framing and trim saw achieves a 2-1/4-inch maximum cut depth at 90 degrees to slice completely through 2x dimensional lumber in a single pass. Outfitted with a 0 to 50-degree bevel capacity, an electronic rapid blade brake, and an included 24-tooth carbide-tipped blade, it delivers fast crosscuts, rip cuts, and compound bevels on construction jobsites.

**Battery and charger sold separately.

Best Used For:

• Dimensional Lumber Framing and Stud Trimming: Slicing cleanly through standard 2x4 and 2x6 SPF lumber with 2-1/4-inch single-pass cutting capacity.
• Plywood Subfloor and OSB Sheathing Rips: Tracking pencil marks and chalk lines accurately without craning thanks to the direct blade-left sightline.
• Rafter Beveling and Roof Decking Angles: Cutting compound roof angles and bevels up to 50 degrees with positive stops and low overhead fatigue.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Blade-Left Sightline Architecture: Positions the saw blade to the left of the motor to give right-handed carpenters an unobstructed, clear view of the cut line.
• High-Efficiency Brushless Motor: Delivers 5,000 RPM of consistent cutting speed while optimizing runtime per CORE18V battery charge.
• Electronic Fast-Stop Brake: Rapidly halts blade rotation immediately upon trigger release to protect the user and accelerate cut-to-cut transitions.
• 2-1/4-Inch Cutting Depth: Provides ample clearance to cut completely through 2x dimensional timber at 90 degrees and through nominal stock at full bevel.
• Extended 50-Degree Bevel Range: Offers flexible bevel adjustments from 0 to 50 degrees with clear scale markings for roof framing and trim joinery.
