Bosch GCM 18V-216 DC Professional 4500 RPM 1600 W

The Bosch GCM 18V-216 DC Professional is a battery-powered mitre saw with BITURBO Brushless technology that delivers corded-level performance up to 1,600 W. It provides a large cutting capacity (70 x 300 mm), a single-bevel design with dual-bevel function, and onboard speed selection including an ECO mode to extend runtime. The saw is compatible with Bosch Professional 18 V batteries and chargers, supports ProCORE18V ≥ 5.5 Ah for maximum power, and fits Bosch GTA mitre saw stands and the Click & Clean dust extraction system. Integrated LED light, two-point dust extraction and compact, transportable construction increase usability on-site.

Advantages

BITURBO Brushless motor technology delivers cordless performance comparable to a 1,600 W corded mitre saw while maintaining the mobility of an 18 V tool. Two-point dust extraction and Click & Clean compatibility reduce on-site dust for a healthier working environment. Speed selection and ECO mode allow tailoring power and runtime for different materials and job demands. Compact dimensions and integrated side extensions improve workpiece control without sacrificing portability. The saw accepts the full range of Bosch Professional 18 V batteries and chargers for flexible power management.

Suitable for

• Cross cuts, mitre cuts and bevel cuts in timber beams and wooden composites
• Cutting floor panels and worktops
• Cutting aluminium and plastic components
• On-site carpentry and renovation work requiring portability

How to use

Install a compatible 18 V Bosch battery (ProCORE18V ≥ 5.5 Ah recommended for maximum performance) and secure the saw to a stable mitre stand if required. Select the desired blade and check blade diameter and bore compatibility. Set the speed or ECO mode via the user interface according to material and cut type, then position and clamp the workpiece using the integrated side extensions for improved control. Use the LED light for better visibility, engage dust extraction with the Click & Clean system or an external vacuum, and make the cut following standard safety procedures and personal protective equipment recommendations.

Recommendations

For maximum cutting performance and longer runtime on demanding applications, use ProCORE18V batteries with at least 5.5 Ah capacity and enable the appropriate speed setting rather than ECO mode. Regularly maintain the blade and dust extraction ports to ensure consistent cutting quality and a cleaner work environment.
