NEW 18V CORDLESS TOOLS AND EXPERT ACCESSORIES FROM BOSCH

Battery compatibility and equipment organization

The new tools are compatible with the Professional 18V system as well as with the battery alliance AMPShareThis compatibility allows the same battery to be used on several devices, facilitating continuity of work.

In practice, this concerns the operations of interior carpentry, fitting or renovationwhere tool changes are frequent. Continuous power supply limits interruptions, especially during serial work.

However, one limitation remains related to the actual battery life, which depends on intensive use and the materials used.

A multi-functional cutter-sander for precision work

Applications in renovation and finishing work

The cordless cutter-sander is designed for a variety of on-site tasks:

• plunge cuts in wood or plasterboard
• flush cuts of metal parts
• adjustments to joinery (frames)
• sanding in hard-to-reach areas
• removal of sealants or adhesives

These uses correspond to the needs of craftsmen in renovation, particularly when working on existing structures.

"He carries out all these tasks with complete ease."

Cutting performance and settings

The tool incorporates a brushless motor with a speed of up to 20,000 oscillations per minute. The 4° oscillation angle contributes to a increased cutting efficiency, particularly in flexible materials such as wood or plasterboard.

The multi-speed setting allows the speed to be adapted according to the material, a common practice recommended in workshops to preserve accessories and improve cutting quality.

A design office or a project manager can specify this type of equipment for work requiring a localized intervention on the inner envelope.

Ergonomics and safety of use

The design prioritizes ergonomics with a compact handle and a claimed reduction in vibration. Integrated features enhance safety:

"The Stop Control function allows the machine to automatically switch off when the blade detects the end of the cut."

This type of device falls within the safety requirements applicable to portable power equipment, in particular within the framework of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

Cordless jigsaws and precision guidance

Cutting quality and blade stability

Two versions of jigsaws are offered, with different handle configurations. They rely on a guide system designed to limit blade deflection.

"The blade guide prevents any bending of the blade."

This feature allows for more regular cuts in:

• solid wood
• particleboard
• composite materials

These tools are suitable for precise cutting work, such as the manufacture of fixtures or furniture.

Settings and terms of use

The saws feature multi-level speed control, as well as cut start assistance functions. The aim is to improve the initial cut and minimize deviations from the moment the blade enters the blade.

A concrete example concerns the cutting of wooden worktops, where the accuracy of the initial cut determines the final quality.

However, accuracy also depends on the implementation conditions: holding the workpiece, choosing the blade and appropriate adjustment.

Dust management and working conditions

The tools incorporate a dust extraction system with an adjustable connection. This feature helps improve visibility of the cutting line.

It also addresses the prevention challenges related to exposure to wood dust, which is regulated by the labor code for professionals.

Jigsaw blades and finish quality

Clean cut on both sides

The dedicated blade aims to produce a cut without splintering on both sides of the material, particularly on softwood and wood-based panels.

"It ensures a clean, seamless cut on both sides of the piece."

This performance is based on a specific tooth geometry, adapted to finishing work.

Gains in production and finishing

On the ground, this helps to limit the need for remediation operations:

• sanding reduction
• improvement of the final appearance
• time saving during installation

A joinery craftsman can thus intervene more quickly on visible elements, such as furniture fronts or decorative panels.

Precision-oriented tools for the woodworking trades

This new range is part of an evolution in power tools towards more precision, versatility and ergonomics.

It meets the needs of wood professionals, particularly for finishing work and interior design, where cutting quality and finish are crucial.

However, the advertised performance remains subject to usage parameters, including the choice of accessories and the conditions of implementation on site.
