Very rugged tool
Rating: 5
My wife let me get this saw which in itself is fantastic. I actually had two other miter saws before this one, and returned them to the store. The first saw was to limited, and I would not be able to cut certain pieces of wood. The second saw was very poor for checking correct angle or bevel, back it went. Yes, I had to pay more for the Bosch, but everything was easier to deal with for checking the accuracy of the saw. Plus, a much greater diversity of wood widths can be accomplished with the saw. One issue is the weight.

Great saw
Rating: 5
When I saw this Bosch miter saw I know I had to have it. Purchased it to replace my 3915 model, and I am very impressed with its accuracy. It is rigid, very smooth to operate, and the axial glide system allows me to place this new saw much closer to the wall than my old one. The dust collection system could be better... Thanks to Bosch for this great product

My first miter saw
Rating: 5
I bought this a couple months ago and right out of the box, the saw was dead on accurate, no adjustments needed. To date, I have used it to make a miter saw station for it, as well as to make several general crosscuts. I like that all the controls are up front and readily accessible. As to operating the saw, it is smooth as silk and a real pleasure to use. Will I use it every day, no. Will I use it on every project, I almost certainly will. Well worth the money!

The dual bevel capability.
Rating: 5
This is my first glide bevel saw. It took quite a while to learn all the modes of operation. While the manual was well written. I feel the instructional videos about each feature would be very helpful.

Fantastic saw
Rating: 5
I have had this saw a week now and it is worth every penny. Smooth, accurate and really easy to operate.I particularly like the presets for crown moulding. The only minor glitch is the bevel control knob seems to have been damaged in transit and it came off when i went to use it. Also the Allen wrench for adjustment was missing. I have contacted customer support and await their response.

Solid and accurate
Rating: 5
I've had this saw for about six months now and have used it for a variety of projects and materials. It has been perfect for my small shop, giving me a ton of capacity and accuracy without taking up all the space I have available. The dust collection isn't the best, and it took a while to get the accuracy dialed in, but, other than that, it is a solid saw that I absolutely love.

Awesome Saw!
Rating: 5
I purchased this unit a week ago and overall I am very satisfied with it! Its quiet and very smooth to work with! The only problem I am having is the safety switch on the handle is hard to maneuver . Its a pricey saw but built to last! I also have the Table saw and also just purchased the Barrel Grip Jig saw.

Good, Not Great
Rating: 4
I had a problem with blade run-out that was caused by a defective flange washer that rests behind the blade on the arbor. I didn’t bother with Bosch warranty support because the part was inexpensive. I also had a problem with the upper sliding fence components tilting out of square when tightening the thumb screw that locks them in place. I called Bosch warranty support and the person I talked to was very helpful. They sent all four upper and lower fence components, but the upper left fence that they sent was odd. It didn’t have the cable cleat that I have on my saw. I used three of the four new fence components and everything improved. The fence is now out only a few thousandths. I can work with that. I love the D-handle and safety switch, the glide action is smooth and 90 degree cuts are perfect as are all other miter cuts. I think this saw is as good as anything else on the market but it took a while to get it there.

Real good product, sliding is amazing, The extension ascessory is différent and not as good as the 12 inches saw

Dust boot and collection
Rating: 4
The dust boot breaks easily plus the dust collection is virtually non existent. I have it hooked up to my centrifuge dust collector and it still throws waste/dust all over.

Works as described!

Bought this saw to replace the non sliding model. nothing wrong with it, just wanted the slider.Great saw. Works just as described. Laser is dead on, out of the box!

This saw has all of the features that I require.

I have a table saw and never realized what I was missing in saw work until I purchased the sliding dual saw. The things I can do now is 100% more wood cutting.

We have a few mitre saws in the shop. Now that we have the Hitachi, it's the go to saw. Literally leaves the other in the saw dust!

This saw is REAL! Power, accuracy right out of the box!
Rating: 5
I'm impressed it came with a laser sighting option the only disappointment I have with the tool is that the laser sighting have to be turned on manually and multiple cuts it's fantastic I use it I don't use the laser quick cuts because accuracy is so good in the stand that I bought is a Hitachi also and that is fantastic I highly recommend stand and the product I've been cutting everything from six by sixes which from the product standard says it can't be cut !This tool exceeds in quality and Value! $

Great saw

It's a great saw for the price. In my opinion I think its better then the yellow one. Right to roll right out of the box. Setup was a breeze.

I upgraded from a Hitachi non sliding and I am glad I did. I can now cut wider boards. This great miter saw, accurate and an excellent value.

Great Saw
Rating: 4
Opened the box, followed the set-up instructions, and started making accurate cuts and miters. I used the saw to make cuts in hardwood flooring and miter cuts in trim work in my new house. The only issue I have had is the guard sometimes does not retract all the way on mitered cuts. Great Saw!
by rlysaw on 2018-10-02T17:00:00

Great for work around house
Rating: 4
The saw was well packaged and all cut angles were correct, right out of the box. The use of the saw is easy and intuitive, allows the DIY'er to start using it almost immediately. Laser is a nice addition. Only criticism that I can offer is that the sawdust bag seems relatively useless, so could use some redesign.

Good value
Rating: 4
The saw is powerful and accurate. The stops are dead on. The laser is basically useless. It moves too much and doesn't say zeroed. This is the best sliding compound miter saw for the price. I give it 4 1/2 stars.
