Powered by an 18V brushless motor, Bosch’s GLF 18V-8 and flagship GKF 18V-8 Laminate Trimmers go beyond being just run-of-the-mill, offering a range of safety and performance features that set it apart from the competition.
Safety is a top priority with the GLF 18V-8 Laminate Trimmer. A standout feature is the in-built surface and edge-routing vacuum adaptors – a world-first.
These adaptors dramatically reduce dust production by up to 95 per cent, ensuring a cleaner workspace and protecting the tradie’s respiratory health.
This feature, combined with a high-quality parallel guide interface, not only makes the job more efficient but also contributes to a superior final product equalling a happy customer for tradies.
The trimmers also boast Bosch’s unique drop control feature, which automatically shuts off the tool if it’s dropped, adding an extra layer of safety for users.
This is particularly important on busy job sites where accidents can happen, and routers that can protect themselves (and tradies) is invaluable.
Power in the palm
Performance-wise, these Laminate Trimmers are workhorses. The 18V brushless battery motor delivers the equivalent of 600W of corded power on the GLF 18V-8 and 1,000W of corded power on the GKF 18V-8, making them perfect for tasks like edge trimming, grooving, and profiling templates.
With an adjustable speed range of 10,000 to 30,000 RPM, tradies can easily tailor the tool’s performance to the specific needs of the job.
The constant speed function ensures a stable cutting speed, delivering a smooth and precise finish every time. Additionally, the tool’s optimised cooling ventilation design prevents overheating, even during extended use, ensuring that it can keep up with demanding tasks.
One of the most convenient features of both laminate trimmers is their spindle lock button, which allows for quick and easy bit changes without the need for two wrenches.
This feature not only saves time but also reduces the frustration of tool adjustments, making the trimmer more user-friendly. Both these new Laminate Trimmers from Bosch are versatile, high-performance tools that excel in edge routing to grooving and profiling.
They combine the power of corded palm routers with the convenience of being cordless, all while offering innovative safety and performance features that make it a top choice for professionals in the trade industry.
