Does this saw fit on a DeWalt miter saw stand?
Hi! Thank you very much for your question. The saw is compatible with Bosch miter saw stands and other industry-standard stands. For further assistance, you may email us at bosch.tools@us.bosch.com or contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CST.
Country of origin?
The GCM12SD is manufactured in China. Robert Bosch Tool Corporation utilizes a global manufacturing strategy, which incorporates a global network of suppliers with our worldwide manufacturing locations in regions such as Asia, Europe, and the United States. Our manufacturing facilities around the globe are all owned and operated by the Bosch Group and maintain the highest quality standards.

Does this saw have a depth of cut setting that can be used for half-lap joints?
Hi! Thank you very much for your question. Yes. The CM10GD features a Depth of Cut Adjustment, which allows the blade depth to be set for non-through cuts rather than cutting completely through the material. This feature can be used when creating half-lap joints, grooves, and similar applications where a controlled cutting depth is required.

will the DeWalt stand work
Hi! Thank you very much for your question. The GCM12SD is designed to be compatible with standard miter saw stands.

This will help ensure a proper and secure fit.

How can you make such a good and high technology tool and you you don't add shadow line or laser??? Would that really increase the price ?? I was about to get it. Pitty. That is a deal breaker! Very disappointed!
Don’t let the Bosch answer to your question fool you into thinking they haven’t gotten this feedback for years. It defies logic they have not added this feature. They would literally sell 2x as many of these saws.
Bosch was the first manufacturer to offer a laser on their miter saw. Professional carpenters, millworkers. and cabinet makers did not like the feature the majority of the Bosch purchasers are professionals they discontinued the laser feature.
Hi! Thank you very much for your question. We’re very sorry to hear about your disappointment, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration this caused. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. At this time, the Bosch miter saw model that includes a shadow line feature is our cordless version, the GCM18V-12SDN. We currently do not offer a corded model with a laser or shadow line. That said, we absolutely understand how important this feature is to many users, and your feedback has been noted and shared with our product team. We do not discard the possibility of releasing a corded version with this feature in the future. Thank you again for your honest input.
