Where it sits among 165mm plunge saws
Scaled against the 14 plunge saws with a 165mm blade we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

Physical & Build
The GKT 55 GCE runs at 92 dB(A) and is one of the smoother ones at 2.5 m/s² or below, cutting 57mm at 90° (51mm on rail) on a 165mm blade. It is rail-flexible too: the Bosch FSN rail pairs with Mafell, and the saw's dual-groove base also sits on Festool and Makita rails, so it fits almost any site setup. We rate it an excellent corded saw for quiet, precise work; the Makita SP6000J is the closest corded rival, while the cordless GKT 18V-52 is the battery version of the same idea.
