Product Information

Full details

The Bosch Professional GCD 18V-355 is a cordless 18V dry cutter designed for professionals needing a powerful, portable solution for cutting metal. Its key benefit is delivering corded power equivalent to a 2000W cutter, enabling fast, cold, and spark-reduced cuts without the need for deburring. A potential caveat is that batteries and charger are sold separately, requiring an additional purchase for immediate use.

FAQs

What type of materials can this saw cut?

This saw is specifically designed for cutting all types of metal materials and profiles, including steel, aluminum, and other common metals.

Does the saw come with batteries and a charger?

No, the Bosch Professional GCD 18V-355 is supplied as a bare tool. Batteries and charger are sold separately.

How do I ensure accurate cuts?

Use the integrated laser cutting line for precise workpiece positioning and the adjustable fence for quick, accurate adjustments. Maintain a consistent speed and avoid forcing the tool.

What is the advantage of brushless motor technology?

Brushless motors offer higher efficiency, longer runtime per battery charge, and a more durable tool with less wear and tear compared to brushed motors.

Can I use this saw with other brands' batteries?

No, this tool is part of the Bosch Professional 18V system and is only compatible with Bosch Professional 18V batteries.

How does the overload indicator work?

The overload indicator alerts you when excessive pushing force is applied, which can damage the battery, sawblade, or motor. Releasing the pressure allows you to continue cutting safely.

What is the maximum cutting capacity?

The saw offers large cutting capacities of up to 127 mm vertically and 194 mm horizontally.

Troubleshooting

Tool not powering on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the overload indicator is active and release pressure. Verify the battery is compatible with the 18V system.

Poor cut quality or slow cutting

Check for blade dullness and replace if necessary. Ensure the correct type of metal cutting blade is being used. Reduce the pushing force to avoid overloading the motor and triggering the overload indicator.

Excessive sparking

Verify that you are using the correct blade for the material being cut. Ensure the blade is properly installed and not damaged. Avoid forcing the cut; let the tool do the work.

Laser line not visible or misaligned

Check if the laser is switched on. Ensure the blade is not obscuring the laser path. Clean the laser emitter if it appears dirty. For misalignment, consult the user manual for calibration instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the tool is disconnected from any power source before setup. Mount the 355 mm sawblade securely, following the instructions in the user manual. For use on a Bosch GTA mitre saw stand, attach the specific adapter. Clamp the workpiece using the keyless system, ensuring it is stable. Connect a compatible Bosch Professional 18V battery.

Compatibility: The GCD 18V-355 is compatible with all Bosch Professional 18V system batteries. It can be mounted on Bosch GTA mitre saw stands with the appropriate adapter (sold separately).

Care: Always disconnect the battery before cleaning. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the tool. Clean the sawblade and blade housing regularly to remove metal dust and debris. Ensure the ventilation slots are kept clear. Store the tool in a dry, protected environment.
