A cordless table saw with a 70 mm cut height and no battery in the box — and a French price nearly €300 below the British one.
The bottom line A serious cordless saw with a serious omission on the listing — and a price worth crossing a border for.
Hands-on testing pending. Nothing below is presented as our own measurement. Every figure is a manufacturer specification, read off the listing itself, and the judgements are ours — drawn from how the specification behaves in this class of machine and from what long-term owners consistently report. Where a figure is missing, we say so rather than fill it in.
Part number 0601B44100, on the Bosch Professional 18 V AMPShare system. A 70 mm cut height, tool-free bevel from -2° to 47°, a rack-and-pinion parallel fence, a mitre gauge, and two Click & Clean extraction ports. It arrives with a 216 × 30 × 1.6 mm Optiline Wood blade, an angle stop, a push stick, an extraction adapter, a guard, a profile rail and the spanners. No battery and no charger appear on that list.
The blade rises at the back of the throat plate. If the kerf closes on those rising teeth — because the offcut pinched, because the workpiece lifted off the fence, because the timber released its tension as it was cut — the saw picks the piece up and throws it back down the line of the cut, where the operator is standing.
The riving knife is the part that holds the kerf open behind the blade, and it is the guard that stays fitted. The rest is procedure: the rip fence and the mitre gauge are never used together on one cut, the last part of every rip goes through on a push stick rather than a hand, and the offcut is left alone until the blade has stopped.
No rip capacity to the right of the blade, no table dimensions, no weight, no indication of how many cuts a battery gives. Cut height is the figure Bosch leads with because 70 mm is genuinely good for a cordless machine; rip capacity is the one that decides whether a sheet of plywood fits, and it is absent.
€529 in France, €669 in Germany, €710 in Spain, €716 in Italy, €822 in Britain. One reference, one barcode, and close to €300 between the cheapest and the dearest market. On a purchase at this level that gap is worth checking before you order at home. Not sold on amazon.com.

No. The listing we hold carries part number 0601B44100 and reads GTS 18V-70. We name the product the listing names, not the one the search asked for — and on a saw the difference between two model numbers is usually a different cut height.
The delivery list published on the listing runs from the saw to the hex key and does not mention a battery or a charger. Budget for two batteries and a charger, and compare the total against a corded saw before deciding.
It is the number that decides whether the saw will break down a sheet of plywood, which is the main reason people buy a portable table saw. Bosch publishes the cut height and not the rip width. Ask the seller for it before ordering.
210 mm · rack-and-pinion fence · 65 mm cut
The most refined compact saw here: a rack-and-pinion fence that moves squarely by design, in a body small enough to carry in one hand.
Best for: Site work and small workshops where accuracy matters more than capacity

254 mm · sliding carriage · 2 000 W
The only saw here with a sliding carriage built in — which is what turns a table saw into something that crosscuts panels accurately.
Best for: A workshop that regularly breaks down and squares sheet goods

216 mm · 1 600 W · 30 mm bore
Bosch’s compact site saw: lighter than the class, sensibly guarded, and built around a blade small enough to limit what it can rip.

≈ $845 / 340 €
