Bosch GTS 10 VS Makita 2704

Um…. where are you located? and where are you trying to get these saws from?

correct me if I’m wrong , but the Bosch GTS seems like it’s a european model that is similar to the American Bosch 4000 model. the Bosch 4000 is 110v and is 15Amp which would be similar to an 8Amp running on 220v.

I have the Bosch 4100 which is an upgraded model of the 4000 with just several features that were added to it (safety wise) but in terms of power they are the same, and this saw has plenty of power for a mobile saw.

on the same note – the Makita 15Amp sounds like it’s a 110v saw –
WATT = Volt x Amp
so:
1800W = ~220v x 8Amp
1650W = 110v x 15Amp

On paper – the bosch has more power with 1800W, and since it’s using less Amp – it’s a better usage of electricity as well.

-- ㊍ When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Thank you for your reply, so how can I guess the HP (Bosch dealer says that it is 2.5 HP) is this correct?
