desertcart.com Review The 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw features the smooth cutting motion, accurate performance, and space-saving design of Bosch's patented Axial-Glide System. Pre-aligned Squarelock fences help the saw maintain precision throughout its life, and a soft-grip ambidextrous handle and combination dust chute and vacuum adaptor provide user comfort. The saw also offers a large cutting capacity, easy-to-read bevel and miter scales with detents at common angles, and easy-access up-front controls.Compact Axial-Glide System Creates Smooth, Controlled CutsBosch's patented Axial-Glide System is designed to create smooth cuts and ensure you have complete control over the saw's cutting action. Axial-Glide doesn't use a traditional rail setup, so this saw takes up to 12 inches less workspace than many competitors.Blade Compatibility and Powerful Motor for Versatile PerformanceIn addition, this Bosch miter saw's 15 amp motor delivers no-load speeds of 3,800 rpm for quick, accurate cuts in many materials. For further convenience and versatility, the saw is compatible with a variety of 12-inch blades, and it has a clear lower guard to provide unobstructed cut-line visibility.Flexible Setup with Large CapacityWith a 14-inch horizontal capacity, a 6-1/2-inch vertical capacity for material against the fence or base, and a 6-1/2-inch crown capacity against the fence at 45 degrees, this miter saw is useful for a variety of cuts.Additionally, the saw features two sliding integrated base extensions that provide adjustable support for materials measuring up to 40 inches long.Quick-Release Squarelock Fences Provide Accurate, Easy AlignmentHigh-precision, trademarked Squarelock fences come aligned at 90-degree angles to the saw's table and require no adjustments. These quick-release fences utilize a one-touch lock/unlock feature that allows you to easily slide each fence into position for accurate material alignment.Adjustable Miter Detents and Easy-Access Detent OverrideAn etched stainless steel miter scale with large, easy-to-read markings lets you accurately set cuts measuring up to 52 degrees to the left and up to 60 degrees to the right. Common angles are easy to set with miter detents at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, and 45 degrees on the right and left, and 60 degrees on the right.A push-button miter detent override helps ensure fine miter angle adjustment for precise cuts. This thumb-actuated control is located at the front of the saw for easy access.Up-Front Bevel Controls, Marked Detents, and Roof Pitch AnglesThe saw's all-metal bevel lock lever and range selector are located up front to make bevel adjustments easy.The bevel capacity allows you to cut at angles ranging from 0 to 47 degrees to the left and the right, while marked detents and roof pitch angles make the most common angles easy to set. The saw features bevel detents at 0, 33.9, and 45 degrees for both left- and right-facing cuts, and it includes a high visibility dual-bevel scale.Ergonomic Grip and Dust Capture for User ComfortWeighing only 65 pounds, this compact miter saw is easy to maneuver. It features a large, ergonomic handle with a soft grip for user comfort, and it offers an ambidextrous trigger setup for both right- and left-handed users.To further ensure user comfort, this Bosch saw's combination dust chute and vacuum adaptor provides dust capture for a cleaner work environment and improved visibility.Like all Bosch power tools, the 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw is backed by a one-year limited warranty.What's in the BoxMiter saw, 12-inch 60T blade, tool-free material clamp, blade wrench, 90-degree combination dust chute elbow and vacuum adaptor, and dust bag. Review: Magnífico producto, Bosch siempre es garantía, muy buen equipo y la relación costo-beneficio creo que es insuperable, el envío fue muy rápido y seguro, no tengo ninguna queja estoy muy satisfecho con este equipo, este equipo es por mucho mejor que la mayoría sobretodo por el mecanismo de movimiento que ahorra mucho espacio, sobre todo por que mi taller es muy pequeño, muy recomendable. Review: I was very hesitant to order the Bosch chop saw. I presently have the Dewalt 12" sliding saw. I have been using it on the job for over 8 years and its as good as the day I took it out of the box. I needed a chop saw for the shop and this Bosch with the linkage instead of the slides, really is a space saver. When I read all the reviews, there were so many that complained this was out, and that was out and no way to adjust. Many said its junk, it forget this saw.? That really made me nervous, but I went ahead and purchased it anyway because of the space saving feature. I got this saw about a week ago and I have to say its great. Obviously those people that wrote those bad reviews did not know much about machinery. Even if it is perfectly set up out of the box, you should take the time to go over each item and double check. This way you know its right on, and you can check for any loose bolts, and you learn and get acquainted with the saw. Yes, it was suppose to be all factory set out of the box, and it wasn't, but there are setting for everything and the manual is very well written and easy to understand. I spent about an hour going through each item and adjust every possible setting and stop. Extremely easy to set up, most all adjustments use the same size Allen wrench (that comes with the saw and stays on board the saw in its secure spot) Its very smooth with no play in the linkage. Bottom line, I was very impressed with the saw and would highly recommend it, especially for the shop setting. For the job site, I'll continue to use the Dewalt as the Bosch really is pretty heavy. 89 lbs. I think it was. You would need the rolling stand to take it on job sites, but for the shop, I welcome the extra weight as it cuts down on any vibrations. And if you will be doing finish work with this saw, you will need a good finish blade. The blade that comes with it is a good blade if you doing framing. And I cant say much about the dust collection and the bag it comes with, as I hooked mine up to the dust collector system right away

This is my second Bosch Miter saw. My first was a 3915 10" sliding compound saw. I loved that saw that I had purchased in 2005 but I really wanted an upgrade. So I sold my old saw and bought this. I think just the fact that after 11 years I purchased another Bosch, speaks for itself. Frankly, I didn't even consider any other brand because of my great experience with Bosch. I am not going to quote a bunch of facts nor statistics on why this saw is better than most. What I am going to say is that I do woodworking. All types that includes building decks, building cabinets, keepsake boxes, outdoor chairs etc. This saw more than meets all my needs in these areas. In fact the saw surpasses my original Bosch since it is bigger, bevels both sides, has a much larger fence, and has stops on the bevel. All things my excellent 10" Bosch was missing. I've been using the saw and really love the gliding mechanism. My old saw was starting to not slide as well as it did when I got it new. In fact, it started sliding exactly like other new saws from Hitachi and Dewalt I have tried at the big box store. I was surprised that they don't glide that well. I will tell you that the glide on this saw is amazing. In fact, at first I was taken aback a little since I was not anticipating how freely it would glide. But after getting used to that, I don't think I could ever go back. The saw is more than powerful even when cutting red oak or for that mater purple heart. I did have to use my precision square to ensure that the 90 degree and bevel were correct. The bevel was but the 90 degree cut has to be very slightly corrected. That of course was every easy, loosen 4 screws with the allen wrench included straight it, and tighten the screws. Easy! Anybody who needs a precision, super quality saw won't go wrong purchasing this saw. It is awesome. Of course, I did have to replace the blade immediately since I was cutting some wood for a cabinet and needed a nice smooth cross cuts. But I'm keeping the blade that came with the saw for other future projects.
