A GKS 235T that requires 2000W wired cost you rm880.
While an entry level Bosch cordless cost you rm4** or the 18V cost rm1***.
Also the motor speed also matters, especially when you need to cut MDF or HDF, cutting wood actually requires more power than cutting metal.
The blade is very important too.
Blade that come with the saw is usually good to cut wood but not mdf.
For mdf, you need blades that has more teeth for a smooth finish so put that into your cost too.
The 18V Bosch cordless circular saw CCS180BL only sells for USD 128, bare tool with Lboxx-2 in Amazon. Its made in Malaysia.
I don't understand why Malaysia is selling so god damn expensive @ RM1k just for bare tool.

Btw, my 18V bosch square sander has arrive. Can do pallet wood sanding outside and no need to worry too much dust in house.
