Review on Circular saw BOSCH GKS 190, 1400 W blue/silver by Adam Domaski ᠌
The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.
There is no special rigidity of fastening the saw to the sole. For accurate cutting (accuracy above +/-1mm), you have to use a caliper to check the parallelism of the disk to the sole and, if necessary, “bend” the rear hinge. I don't know, maybe I'm picking on this and this saw is not designed for jewelry work, but I work in furniture and I need this accuracy. In general, getting into +/-1mm is not so difficult, and with some skill you can cut +/-0.5mm.
Pros
- + Power. This is the main advantage. Beast machine. 15mm plywood on fast feed cuts like cardboard. Two layers of 15mm plywood - like two cardboard boxes. Duralumin 6 mm sheet with an aluminum disk (80 teeth, -5 ° sharpening) is also easy. Well, I’m generally silent about pine boards, chipboard and laminate - this is nothing at all for this saw. In general, for a year of use, I could not find such an application for her that there was not enough power. It would be nice to test it on a 3" beech board, but unfortunately I don't have any beech on hand. + Build quality is very good. It sits comfortably in the hand, the start lock is correctly made - you won’t accidentally pinch it. The mechanics are also made with high quality - it does not create unnecessary noise, only the roar of the engine and the sound of the disk are heard. The blocking of the shaft is also made reasonably - it’s even inconvenient to press it on purpose, and it’s impossible to accidentally press it on the go. + Depth of cut. 70mm is enough for everything. And if you remove the lower casing and put a 200mm disc, it will be 75mm.
Cons
- - Stamped (not cast!) sole. - No soft start. - The fan, which is designed to blow off sawdust from the line of sight, inflates them throughout the district in an even layer within a radius of 5 meters. - The previous paragraph completely negates the benefits of connecting a vacuum cleaner - everything scatters around long before it reaches the place where the vacuum cleaner is connected. - The removable fitting for connecting the vacuum cleaner is rather weak and tends to fall off at the most inopportune moment. - 30mm diameter for the disk in combination with 190 outer diameter for some reason makes it very difficult to find suitable disks. Most 190 OD discs come with 20 bores, while 30s are mostly 160 or 210mm rims. I would like to be able to at least buy separately replaceable support bushings with different bore diameters - 16, 20, 22, 30 and 32 mm. So after all, they are not only not included in the kit, they do not exist in nature at all. We'll have to look for a turner and order from him. It's good that the support sleeve is at least removable.
