Bosch GKT 55 GCE Professional Plunge Saw

The Bosch GKT 55 GCE Professional Plunge Saw is a corded plunge saw for precise cuts in wood, wood-composite boards, panels, worktops, aluminium and acrylic glass. It achieves a 57 mm cut depth at 90° and 42 mm at 45°, covering the range needed for panel sizing and joinery. A 1400 W motor drives a 165 mm, 48-tooth blade at variable no-load speeds from 3,600 to 6,250 rpm, allowing speed matching to different materials. The blade mounts on a 20 mm bore arbor. This tool is aimed at professional carpentry and cabinetry where plunge entry into panels is required.

The saw weighs 4,700 g with an overall length of 310 mm, and the aluminium base plate provides a stable cutting reference. Soft start gradually brings the motor up to operating speed, reducing initial torque on the blade. Overload protection safeguards the motor during sustained cutting sessions. A soft grip handle improves control during extended use, while the spindle lock enables straightforward blade changes. The 3.9 m power cable provides reach across larger workpieces. A Top Precision Best for Wood blade ships with the saw, backed by a one-year warranty.

• Bevel adjustment – enables angled cuts at 45° (42 mm depth) for mitre joints and bevelled edges
