Product Information

He repeats it near the end as well. I just wanted to thank him for something I'll be needing in the not-to-distant future, and for the laugh I got from the typo :) I have a Harbor Freight 12" compound miter saw that i use on occasion, but the laser it has leaves much to be desired. For better usability, it has an LED work light to illuminate your cut to avoid making mistakes when working in dim areas. Its miter angle is similar as well, with 60 degrees to the right and 50 degrees to the left. However, a notable difference with this tool is that it has a higher vertical cutting capacity of 6-3/4 inches.

Another thing that I would like to mention is portability. If you plan to take the saw to different job locations, you need to invest in a good stand with wheels. A problem associated with many miter saws is that they produce dust that creates problems for the tool. As such, the wood dust gets in-between the slide mechanics and jams it up. If you are not careful with these tools, you will end up injuring your fingers.

I did mention above that both these two saws have an axial glide system, but what exactly is that? Well, it’s Bosch’s version of the traditional rail sliding system. Compared to a standard system, theirs minimizes workspace, or footprint, while keeping the gliding action smooth for faster handling of your material.

For large woodworking projects, you’ll need a bigger blade – and the Bosch GCM12SD 12-Inch Corded Dual-Bevel Sliding Miter Saw is a good choice for that. A combination of convenience and large cutting capacity, this dual-bevel miter saw has many user-friendly features that will make any cutting and beveling task a breeze. Compound sliding miter saw: This includes mitering, beveling and sliding functions to maximize your flexibility in your work. Both of these tools have a 47-degree bevel capacity in both the left and right directions. This value is not so different from other standard miter saws on the market, especially with the 10-inch and 12-inch blade range. Bevel capacity only changes when your miter saw blade is smaller, such as for portable ones that have a 6-inch or 7-inch blade. Ambidextrous trigger handle Today iI’m going to be adding this inexpensive LED light to the saw hood on my miter saw. This led light will shine directly down over the blade and cast a shadow onto the workpiece. This type of light system is becoming a new standard on miter saws, but this Bosch GCM12SD saw that I am using doesn’t have that option. Companies like Dewalt, ridgid, and Milwaukee have put this light system on their newer models. The real key to this LED light working properly is that it is centered over the blade, this is easy to do, and easy to verify before you attach anything to the saw. The other part of this that is crucial is that your particular saw guard has to have enough room to clear the LED light as it comes up over the saw hood.

In a normal preview, we’d be done now. However, Bosch decided to add some more features to the Axial Glide Saw. They added two integrated sliding material supports that extend out from each side of the saw. This gives you a total extended length of 40-inches to work with. Their dual purpose dust port adapts, right out of the box to standard 1-1/4″ (33 mm) vacuum hoses. They claim up to 90% dust efficiency when cutting 2x material with an attached vacuum. We tried it out and the reduction in dust was remarkable. But things get a little more complicated, as you’ll notice when you start looking around. The general term for the tool is a miter saw, but there are some variations you should know about: The tool’s easy and convenient usage impressed me a lot. Bosch has added dual bevels controls on the tool. It allows you to change the bevel without any need to go around the saw. Moreover, the bevel and miter scales are easy to read.The Bosch GCM12SD is excellent for long-duration usage. Its ambidextrous trigger handle with soft grip makes the tool highly comfortable for all-day use.
