Review on Circular saw BOSCH GKS 190, 1400 W blue/silver by Janis Gailitis ᠌
Nothing special, there are positive and negative sides.
In general, I had a GKS-160, I had to give it away, so I decided to buy a more powerful one. Compared to 160, it is heavier, but this is understandable why: the casing is cast, the engine is larger, the sole is different, the tilt angle adjustment bar is not plastic, the disc is larger, probably the insides are different. But on it the lock button is tighter, the power button is also tight and hard to hold. Haven't tried it yet, but I don't think it will be a problem. Honestly, I bought into the depth of cut at an angle of 45 gr. 50 mm, because basically this is the maximum size of lumber that I use, otherwise I was fine with the old saw. The wire, if I'm not mistaken, is 4-5 meters, you can use an extension cord less often. In general, according to the practice of using a Bosch tool, the wires on the entire tool are soft, and in winter they do not freeze so much. I use the tool for myself in the village (there is always something to saw, twist, drill). The sawdust blows off perfectly. For the sake of interest at home, I put a piece of paper, it was blown away by 5 meters or even more!
- Depth of cut, although I rarely saw boards at 70. Power.
- When buying, there were tight buttons, but maybe it's only with me later, 4 months later they developed! Weight, although in my opinion circulars of these sizes all weigh so much, I did not compare. When sawing, it turned out that without a wedge, the disk often bites, maybe of course I saw like that! The wrench for changing the disc is held weakly in the mount, so you have to press harder. At me hardly under a working disk did not get. When sawing docks of 50 or more with a wane, the protective cover does not always move by itself, you have to move it with your hands. And the disk does not close the casing completely, at the very end there is a distance of about 3 cm, it seems not scary, but I got a wire there when I put the saw on the ground, and now the wire is on electrical tape! Of course, maybe this is how I work with this tool, but it is not in my interests to ruin it.
