kornomaniac Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 GCM 800 SJ Mitre Saw Seems to be a very cost down version of a Bosch Mitre Saw. A single action Compound Mitre saw. 1400 Watts with a 70 x 270 mm Capacity. 13.5 kg. Very light for portability. GWS 17 - 125 CI(EX) New 1700 Watt 125mm grinders. In following Metabo with theirs. With or without a disc brake. Quote
comp56 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 seems the miter saw is cheaply priced compared to second grinder..... Quote
NERemodeling Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 interesting on the miter saw.. makita put out a cheaper model earlier this year also, correct? they must be trying to grab a new market of shoppers.. hopefully they dont drop quality much to get the lower price and end up hurting the brand.if they are just ditching few unnecessary options and accessories but maintaining good motors and solid accuracy then i think these new saws are great ideas Quote
kornomaniac Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah for Belgium's pricing the Mitre Saw is really Cheap. The Angle grinders are just really expensive Makita put out the LS0815 about half a year ago. Pretty much thesame mitre saw. small differences in Capacity. The Makita is abit Pricier tho In a week or 2 i'll have these in my shop and can comment more on them Bosch has bene bringing out more and more 'cheap' versions of tools to be more price competitive in Belgium. We have a few cheaper build rotary hammers / a circ saw / cordless drills and now the mitre saw. Pricing strategy for getting more customers i guess =) Quote
Bigmikez Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 wow that's super low for the mitersaw... Quote
chadlanthier Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Looks like a small blade on that miter saw. Could be a reason for the price. Quote
kornomaniac Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Posted January 8, 2015 216 mm blade with 70 mm depth. Limited capacity for that low price Quote
madman_us Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 with a vertical handle/trigger - I wouldn't like thatya its looks really like a tiny miter saw Quote
