Description
Tripping over power cords on remote jobsites causes safety violations and slows down framing crews dividing sheet goods. The Bosch PROFACTOR 18V 8 1/4in portable table saw kit provides cordless cutting mobility via an 18-volt brushless motor and 8.0 Ah battery. Compact 8-1/4-inch blade diameters limit maximum cut depth to 2-1/2 inches, preventing single-pass sizing of thick timber posts.
A high-torque brushless DC motor transfers power through precision helical steel gears housed in a die-cast aluminum transmission case. The onboard BITURBO brushless drive delivers corded cutting equivalents from a single CORE18V battery pack. Rack and pinion fence rails slide on machined aluminum tracks, maintaining parallel alignment across twenty-five inches of right-side rip capacity under heavy sheet feed pressure.
Cordless Table Saw Hardware Metrics
Jobsite finish carpenters require cordless freedom on raw sites paired with microscopic rip fence accuracy across sheet goods. Rack and pinion fence rails maintain parallel alignment under heavy panel feed force.
- 18-volt brushless motor spins 8-1/4-inch blades at 5500 RPM to make crisp chip-free cuts in hardwoods
- BITURBO brushless drive delivers corded power equivalents from a single 18-volt performance battery
- Rack and pinion fence system glides along geared rails to maintain squareness across 25-inch cuts
- Electronic blade brake halts rotation within seconds of switch shutoff to protect worker hands
- Die-cast aluminum table top features low-friction coatings to reduce panel feed push resistance
- Rear dust extraction port channels waste wood chips into collection bags or jobsite vacuums
- 8.0 Ah performance battery delivers sustained high-current output through tough composite sheets
Bench Load Telemetry Amperage Draw
Under free-spin rotation, the brushless motor draws 3.8 amps DC from the 18-volt battery. Slicing through three-quarter exterior subfloor plywood elevates battery current draw to 26.4 amps while blade speed dips from 5500 RPM down to 4880 RPM. Table surface flatness remains within 0.003 inches across the cast aluminum top. Operating sound emissions peak at 88 dBA under high-feed panel sizing loads.
Field Service Trade-Offs Application Filter
Do not use this compact saw for commercial cabinet shops processing continuous stacks of heavy sheet goods. Rough framing laborers who drop thick green timbers onto the rack-and-pinion rails bend the aluminum extrusion teeth. Blow fine sawdust out of the rack and pinion gear tracks using dry compressed air each week. Check fence-to-blade squareness with an engineer square after vehicle transit. Store lithium batteries in climate-controlled cases.
Warranty Protection Standard Package Items
A 5-Year limited warranty covers the cordless saw chassis while a 3-Year warranty protects the battery pack. The kit includes the 8-1/4-inch table saw, CORE18V 8.0 Ah battery, rapid charger, 24-tooth carbide blade, miter gauge, push stick, blade guard, and wrenches.
