Bosch GSC 12V-13 PROFESSIONAL akkupeltisakset 3600 iskua/min

The Bosch GSC 12V-13 PROFESSIONAL power shear is a compact cordless tool designed for fast, precise trimming and cutting of sheet metals. With a maximum idle stroke rate of 3600 spm and the ability to cut stainless steel up to 1.3 mm and aluminum up to 2 mm, this 12V tool balances portability with cutting performance. Its narrow housing (approximately 60 mm wide) and overall small footprint make it suitable for work in confined spaces and for tasks that require accurate, straight or curved cuts.

Advantages

The tool combines a high stroke rate with a lightweight 12V battery platform, enabling continuous work without the limitations of a cord. Its compact dimensions and ergonomic shape improve accessibility and control when working on tight edges, profiles, and interior panels. The cutting capacity for both stainless steel and aluminum allows a single tool to address multiple metalworking tasks, reducing the need to switch tools frequently.

Suitable for

• Trimming and cutting thin stainless steel sheets (up to 1.3 mm)
• Cutting aluminum sheets and panels (up to 2 mm)
• Automotive bodywork and repair where access is limited
• HVAC ductwork installation and modification in confined spaces
• General sheet-metal fabrication and finishing tasks

How to use

Install a compatible 12V battery according to the manufacturer's instructions and ensure the blade is correctly fitted and tightened. Mark the cutting line on the workpiece and position the shear so the blade aligns with the marked line. Apply steady forward movement and allow the tool's stroke rate to perform the cutting; avoid forcing the tool to prevent blade wear or irregular cuts. After completing the cut, release the trigger, wait for the blades to stop, and inspect the edge. Follow all safety precautions for cutting metal, including using appropriate personal protective equipment and securing the workpiece.

Recommendations

For best results, use blades recommended by the manufacturer, keep the blades clean and sharp, and select cut speeds and feed rates appropriate to the material thickness. Regularly check battery charge level to maintain consistent cutting performance and allow the tool to cool if used for extended periods.
