Features
The GCM 8 SJL is Bosch's compact 216mm single-bevel slide at 17kg, cutting 312 × 70mm at 90° with soft start, a depth stop and a laser. It is a tidy mid-weight trim saw on conventional rear rails. We rate it a capable 216mm choice; for dual bevel at a similar size look at the cordless GCM 18V-216, and for flush-to-wall space saving the Makita LS1019L or Festool KS 60 E.
