Hi everyone,

I’m coming from a Stanley Fatmax Circular Saw which i couldn’t perfectly put my blade at 90º nor use the bosch 30mm inside diameter disks i bought. I’m also using the Wolfcraft rail guides so the GCE model isn’t a must.

So i’m considering these models on title and i would like your opinion on build quality and precision when tunning the blade to work on a raild guide. I’m a ocasional diy user but i’m a perfectionist.  

Thanks for your input.

Do you mean  GKS 165?!

I prefer the circular saws that the motor is on the right hand side, as I am right handed myself, most of the corded circular saws have the motor on the left which I don’t like. So if you are left handed then you could consider the GKS 65 GCE as it has more powerful motor compared to the other one. But as much as I remember circular saws with 165mm blades have a 20mm bore and with 190mm blade have a 30mm bore. So I think the Bosch blade you bought is 190mm blade as you mentioned it has a 30mm bore.
