Ridiculous design and clearly engineered by white collars only. Slow rpm, awkward safety switch on trigger and the soft start just wastes time when you consider the thousands of cuts we make per week. We swapped back to a 16 year old saw this week, by about Wednesday we were both tired of fighting with every adjustment made on this Bosch. The new Bosch table saw bought along with this was slow too. Comes with a blade that is to wide, motor is slow, and it constantly throws dust at the operator unless a vacumn is hooked up, which is rarely done outside at a job.

Great saw, except for when you really need it :-/

Man I was excited to get this saw. I built an entire new set of shop tables to act as work supports and built a shelf between them for the Bosch that lined up the table with my two work tables. It all LOOKS fantastic. Then I went to cut miters. It’s not square… it’s close! For construction work you’ll probably never notice it, but try to build a picture frame or miter out the trim for cabinet work, and you’ll immediately see the issue. It’s only off by maybe a degree, but it leaves a gap in ever miter. I checked this against a Woodpecker carpenter’s triangle square, and sure enough, a ridge forms and continues up the length on any piece of wood I cut a miter into. I’m going to start fiddling with it and might need to make some sort of a shim for the fence, as I do not see any way to adjust the actual miter itself.

Until then, I’m at 2 stars for an omission of something that is really very critical to the usability of this saw.

I have talked this thing up since I got it, but when I really got to work with it, was left deflated.

Does what they say

Had the saw just over two weeks and have few complaints. It’s done everything you said it can do and I’m happy with the purchase. I only wish that somehow it were lighter and easier to transport and move. It matches well with the folding miter saw stand.

Very well made. Heavy, Easy used with right or left hand. Both side fences pull out for extended use. Both sides of material table extends out. Rather than the rod supports that the saw pulls out on, this unit has collapsing arms that make the pulling out of the saw to cut wide material very smooth and does not take up the space the rod support takes. The saw comes with an allen wrench that will allow you to adjust about anything on the saw. When rotating the saw for different degrees of cut, it’s smooth and I really like the hard confirmed click of the locking in place you feel and hear knowing the angle is locked in. The first thing I did was cut a 12 inch wide board and checked the 90 degree cut with my big precision square and it was right on the mark. The saw has a small lever that will lock the saw from pulling out for small cuts. Very helpful. I researched miter saws for some time and I believe I made the right choice. The next thing I want to do is build a table for it set in.

Exceeds My Expectations

I need a “sliding” saw for just a few of the things that I make on a regular basis. Have had a couple with bars and was frustrated by how much space they require. Was concerned about too many things that could go wrong with the GCM12SD, all the articulating things. Then I read many, many reviews. Those that were less than 5 stars talked about the weight, no laser guide, dust collection, etc. There were no negative comments about the general operation quality. I don’t care about weight, laser guide lights and dust collection seems to be pretty much impossible on most any miter saw. So I bought one. Could not be happier. Very smooth operation and I particularly like the way you can control it with either your left or right hand. I am now building a miter saw station and am very excited about being able to build it right up against the wall instead of a couple of feet sticking out into my shop. I have lots of top-name power tools in my shop and this saw is one that I am very proud to include.
