New Bosch GCM 12 GDL Professional radial arm saw

 The new Bosch GCM 12 GDL Professional radial arm miter saw will become THE benchmark in terms of maneuverability and precision, thanks to an innovative radial mechanism. The saw head is no longer guided by rails but by a robust articulated arm (Bosch patent) made of cast aluminum. Mounted on ball bearings, this maintenance-free articulated arm ensures unimpaired working comfort throughout the tool's lifetime. The abandonment of the classic rail technique allows the tool to be used against a wall and thus save space.

A precision tool for all development work
The new Bosch GCM 12 GDL Professional radial arm saw is suitable for all common cutting work on wood, plastic, and aluminum profiles, for cutting floorboards, skirting boards, and paneling, and for fitting workpieces on construction sites. It can make straight, miter, bevel, and groove cuts. The maximum cutting width is 341 mm and the maximum cutting height is 104 mm; these depend on the miter and bevel angles. With a spacer available as an accessory, the cutting height can be increased to 110 mm.

Functional equipment that allows precise sawing 
Equipped with a powerful 2 W motor, the new Bosch GCM 000 GDL Professional radial arm saw delivers unparalleled work quality. It features a soft start and a motor brake that protect electrical installations. All tilt and cutting adjustment controls are located at the front of the tool, for greater ease of use. For more precise and easier sawing, the cutting line is visible thanks to a double-line laser: the path to follow is located between the two projected lines. In addition, the Bosch GCM 12 GDL Professional radial arm saw has two side extensions for sawing long workpieces, an optimized dust extraction connection, and an integrated carrying handle for easy transport of the tool. Finally, for greater mobility, a work stand on wheels, the GTA 12 W Professional, is available as an accessory. 

The new Bosch GCM 12 GDL Professional radial arm saw comes with a Bosch-designed “Top Precision Best for Wood” blade that features low vibration and noise levels, enabling very precise and fast sawing.
