Bosch AdvancedRecip 18 300 spm Black, Green

The Bosch AdvancedRecip 18 is a cordless reciprocating saw designed for a range of on-site and workshop cutting tasks. Driven by an 18V Lithium-Ion battery, the tool delivers a maximum idle stroke rate of 300 strokes per minute and enables cutting depths up to 100 mm in wood and up to 20 mm in steel. With a compact, lightweight construction of approximately 2.5 kg and integrated power protection against overheating and overload, the saw balances portability with sustained performance for professional and DIY use.

Advantages

The AdvancedRecip 18 combines high stroke speed with controlled cutting depth to handle common demolition, remodeling and installation operations. Its cordless design and low weight make it convenient to carry and operate in confined spaces or at height. Built-in protection against overheating and overload increases tool reliability and helps maintain consistent cutting performance during extended use.

Suitable for

• Pruning and cutting medium-sized wooden beams and branches
• Demolition work and removing sections of framed structures
• Cutting metal pipes, conduit and metal profiles (within specified depth)
• Plumbing and HVAC installation tasks requiring on-site cutting
• General repair and renovation jobs where portability is required

How to use

Before operation, fit a suitable reciprocating saw blade for the material to be cut and ensure the battery is fully charged. Secure the workpiece and mark the cut line. Hold the saw with a firm two-handed grip, position the blade on the mark, and start at low speed to align the cut; then increase to the required stroke rate. Allow the tool to perform the cutting action without excessive force to avoid stalling and overheating. After completing cuts, release the trigger, wait for the blade to stop, and remove the battery before changing blades or performing maintenance.

Recommendations

Use blades appropriate for the material and thickness: coarse-toothed wood blades for faster wood cuts and fine-toothed bi-metal blades for metal. For prolonged work, monitor tool temperature and allow periodic cooling to preserve the thermal protection system. Wear eye and hand protection and clamp small or unstable workpieces to reduce vibration and improve cutting accuracy.
