Editorial Review:
This dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw from Bosch offers as much capacity as possible combined with a host of features that make it easy to work with. It miters 52 degrees to the left and 60 to the right, and it bevels from 0 to 47 degrees in either direction. We really like the front-bevel lock lever on this saw, which eliminates the need to reach around to the back to make bevel changes. The base is 25-1/2 inches long and has sliding extensions on each side that bring the total length up to 40 inches. There's a 4-1/2-by-11-3/4-inch-long sliding fence on each side that allows for cutting crown molding up to 6 inches vertically or up to 10-1/4-inch crown molding laid flat. The saw also has the capacity to cut up to 4-by-12-inch stock at 90 degrees, 4-by-8-1/2-inch stock at a 45-degree miter, and 2-3/4-by-8-1/2-inch stock at a 45-degree miter and a 45-degree left bevel. The four-position rotating handle is another great innovation on this saw. Some people prefer a horizontal handle and others like a vertical or diagonal handle, so Bosch designed this saw to work for everyone. They've also made the lock-off and release buttons ambidextrous out of consideration for lefties. The saw performs as smoothly and accurately as you would expect from a top-of-the-line Bosch tool and it's built to stand up to tough job site conditions. --Brian Trinen

A nice saw but expected more:
I have own a Makita 10" sliding miter saw but thought I would buy the Bosch because of several of its features I really liked. Reviews in the woodworking forums I had read were very favorable and the quality of the bosch jig saw I purchased earlier was impressive. I tested the saw when it arrived and was a little disappointed that it was not dead-on as my Makita was when it arrived 4 years ago. However with a little time spent adjusting the blade to vertical and the fence square to the blade I was able to... more info
Too Much Blade Deflection!:
I was intrigued with this saw's up-front bevel controls feature, and decided to ignore many of the negative posts about this saw, and decide for myself. After setting up the saw and cutting some test pieces of crown molding, I quickly discovered that this saw has a MAJOR problem with blade deflection. Blade deflection basically causes pieces of cut-off scraps to fly out from the rear and side of the saw, and these pieces travel QUICKLY. From what I saw, if you were ever hit with a flying piece, it... more info

Great features, one major flaw.:
Unbelievable! The saw cuts beautifully and everything about it is well designed except for the fact that the detents that are cast into the base are not accurate relative to 0 degrees. When I calibrate 0 degrees accurately and swing the saw table clockwise to the 45 degree detent, it cuts 45.1 degrees. Not bad. When I swing the table CCW to 45 degrees, it cuts 45.4 degrees. There is absolutely no adjustment for the position of the detent! Okay for framing but not finish work. Makes fitting 8" crown a... more info
