Have only tried this 8.5″ sliding miter saw one week but happy with the ease of carry, length of slide, flexibility of bevel and angle movement and a few other positives. The std 40 tooth construction blade is likely OK for construction work.. but not fine finishing. Bosch direct does not have a 8.5″ blade for finishing work.. only 8 and 9″. With two new complete shoulders ease of carry is important…….. The saw does not yet cut as smoothly as my former model 2013 Makita sliding 10″ but maybe a better finishing blade will work fine.

Great Miter Saw!

After looking at the many different miter saw options, I decided to give the saw a go. What a terrific saw. Super accurate & easy to use. Comes with an owners manual that is very well written and highly detailed. This saw is definitely old school… built very sturdy and has no gimmicky features… I’ve been using the saw for a major home renovation, including a lot of trim work, and this saw makes highly accurate cuts. I replaced the stock blade with a Freud. Cuts so smooth and accurate on trim you can barely see where the cut is when you put the two pieces together. I’ve read some of the complaints about this saw that I’d like to address… 1) no laser… Who cares! One thing I LOVE about this saw is that if you are having any problems lining up the blade to the mark, you can look straight down through the saw housing from above and see exactly where the blade is contacting the wood. Its a simple feature, its brilliant, and negates the need for a laser which is just another thing to go wrong anyways. 2) not being able to bevel in both directions. Again, who cares? Professional carpenters have been using single sided bevel miter saws for decades without tearing their hair out… its really no big deal.
To me, this saw seems designed to be low on frills, high on accuracy and performance, which is exactly what I was looking for. The features is does come with are very practical and make using the saw a joy. My only regret is that I didn’t get this saw sooner. TIP: if you’ve got some serious work ahead of you, get the BOSH miter saw stand to go with this saw. Makes working with longer pieces super easy. BOSCH, I love this saw and wouldn’t change a thing.

Bosch reduced dust collection options for America?

This would be a great saw except Bosch appears to go out of its way to reduce the ability of contractors in America to get adequate dust collection from the saw. The UK version has a much more advanced dust management system. I guess Bosch doesn’t understand that one of the primary drivers of market share to companies like Festool and Sawstop is their attention to dust control.

Over all I am happy with the saw. 
I found one thing disappointing.  The saw right out of the box was NOT sharp.
