Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Lightweight, accurate and reliable

Featuring a lightweight and compact design, this handy circular saw is perfect for ripping materials and for overhead work, or when larger and heavier saws are not suitable for the job in hand.

Accurate cutting

The laser system ensures straight cuts every time and provides increased safety and faster set-up. The pressed steel base plate offers strong, reliable support for the saw. Rubber over-moulded grips ensure a tight hold, enhancing control and comfort. All these elements combine into a saw that is versatile enough to be used as your primary circular saw, but comes into its own with awkward and intricate tasks that larger saws might struggle with.

Circular saw and accessories

The GMC Circular Saw LS1200 is supplied complete with Allen key for blade removal, a guide fence and 165mm 24TCT blade (fitted).

The latest technology at a superb price

Carbon fibre construction
Carbon Fibre.

Traditionally, power tools are constructed of either ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or GFN (glass fused nylon), with the use of GFN typically only found in high end products such as professional tools. Carbon fibre takes power tool construction to the next level again.

Key Benefits of Carbon Fibre

Benefits to the casing:

  • High resistance to shattering or cracking
  • Significantly reduces twisting of the outer housing to hold internal components tighter, thus providing better operational performance and extended life of the power tool
  • Averages of up to 100% increase in overall resistance to fractures (compared with non carbon fibre ABS material)
  • Significant weight reduction

Benefits to the internal mechanics

  • Decrease in motor noise as the meshing of gears is much quieter than aluminium or steel
  • Weight reduction
  • Higher efficiency of output performance than most power tools
Magnesium
magnesium

So what’s so special about magnesium? Fundamentally, it’s simple: it’s a material that is lighter, stronger & more durable than other structural metals - 75% lighter than steel, 50% lighter than titanium and 32% lighter then aluminium. Many power tools on the market feature extensive use of aluminium, which can make them heavy to hold over extended periods of use. Because they are significantly lighter than aluminium, magnesium components can reduce user fatigue and increase safety.

Laser Guide

A laser line generator incorporated into the product improves operator cutting vision and enables faster set up, increased accuracy and safer operation.

Circular saw 16 Jan 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Here is a powerful and versatile saw for a cheap price, it will be doing all I require and even then all the options will not have been used. Not only does it do a good sawing job, but it also comes with a 24 month guarantee if registered online. This saw will be to cut pieces of wood every now and again, and this will do very nicely for me.

I'd prefer to give this about 4.8, but that doesn't seem possible. It's very good value, and I've had no problems other than a slight difficulty working out how to start it - but that's because I didn't read the instructions.

This is a nice, solid saw. Its well made and does the its intended job very well. I have used it to cut up large sheets of boarding where getting a straight line was key. With the laser sighting this is a much easier task. I have no complaints at all about this saw. Having previously bought the GMC Mitre saw I am now convinced that GMC is a high quality, good value for money company and will look out for their products in future.
