            Q:What are the dimensions of the saw when it is moved to a 45 degree miter cut? I'm wanting to install in a miter station and want to know the width and depth dimensions in this situation.
            by|Apr 26, 2023
            1 Answer
            Answer This Question

            A:  Hi there! Here's the distance or clearance of the GCM12SD. For cuts > 14° Right Bevel cuts, saw handle extends beyond plane of hinge, requiring additional space between saw and Fixed Wall. Assume 1 inch (25.4mm) of clearance between handle and Fixed Wall Distance Between Fixed Wall and Front mounting holes: 27.51inch (698.818mm) Distance Between Fixed Wall and Rear mounting holes: 14.91inch (378.818mm) Conclusion: For combination cuts at full right miter & bevel, an additional 7.2inch (181.32mm) of space between Fixed Wall and Rear mounting holes is required For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

              Great miter saw
              Overall this is a great miter saw. I do have some complaints though. First of all, it was square right out of the box. There was minimal setup involved. The gliding mechanism didn't need adjusting. It was very smooth. There is one issue I am noticing. The cuts aren't clean. The blade makes a weird sound. As soon as I hear the sound, I know the cut's going to be off. The blade seems to wobble. The funny thing is that it doesn't always happen. I will make some adjustments to see if I can correct the issue. Also, I knocked off a star because, for the price of this saw you'd think they could include a stop on the extension wings. This saw is replacing an old 10" craftsman miter saw. The only thing that saw had that this one doesn't is the axial glide. I'd expect Bosch to have thought about including that and not make it an after purchase accessory.

                Cheap metal for locking mechanism.
                I have a custom woodworking shop and have used DeWalt and Hitachi sliding compound saws daily for the last 6-7 years without any major issues. Decided to go with the Bosch this time because of the reviews and the sliding mechanism they designed. We only had the saw for 10 days and the knob that locks down your angle in the front completely snapped and split the metal base where the boards sit. Did not over tighten, it snapped with just being snug. Wouldn't recommend for more than a hobbyist tool

                  Manufacturing Error
                  I would still recommend the saw stand I think. Problem is step one with assembly, the holes on one side of a tube don't match up with the other so a bolt has no way to go through in a perpendicular manner, the bolt obviously cannot go through at an angle. I am disappointed that I have to get a drill out and drill a hole correctly and it will be half drilling into a hole and half out of it which is not easy to do and will not be as strong. Is this stuff really that hard to produce. Is there any quality control?

                    Shadow line LED for Bosch miter saw
                    Bosch miter saw is almost perfect except it misses shadow line or laser. To build one, you need Dewalt N030317 Work Light, 5V AC to DC converter at least 0.45mA (1.5"L x 0.77"W x 0.6"H), a switch (or one from Dewalt Miter Saw Power Supply N078832)

                        Not the same saw as the demo unit or picture
                        This was my dream saw. After saving for a while, I finally decided to get this saw after playing around with the sample saw at Home Depot. This saw provides a great reach and glide with the axial glide system so I’m able to keep it against the wall and save a lot of room. The glide was smooth and I didn’t feel any play when sliding back and forth, but I could see an issue if you’re forcing the saw through a cut. The biggest problem I have with this saw is that Bosch made a lot of changes to the saw and it does not show in the product picture OR the sample product at the store. The picture you see is the older model, the newer model is missing a chunk of metal from the fence (both sides), missing the button for the detent lock, and they changes the safety switch from the handle. The last part is the biggest issue for me since I have small hands, the handle itself is pretty large already, but having the safety switch underneath the handle means I have to slide my hand up and down in order to get the saw to start. My wife has to use both hands since she cant reach at all! Way to go Bosch! Again, I think for a $700 saw I think it should include at least a laser (I know the European models do) and a locking clamp. Sadly, this saw is going back to Home Depot and I will be picking up a different saw. Shame, I had such high hopes for this saw.

                          This review is for the stand Bosch T4B
                          Although it came with no instructions it was easy to assemble. I returned Makita’s most expensive stand and got this one. This one is the perfect one to get the job done. Built very tough. It is absolutely worth the price.

                            The best thing that sets this saw over others is the axial glide mechanism, which is simply put superb. The glide mechanism unlike the steel bar extensions which as they accumulate dust/grime get more difficult to slide. The glide mechanism also saves you about 12 inches in front to back space. Additionally, it has extension wings that come out on both sides which do not come with most saw on the market. I have the gen 2 version of this model, which differs from original mainly in the adjustable fence that has a cut-out in the middle for the hold down clamp to come tru. The hold down clamp is simply put disappointing and useless. The very first upgrade i made was purchasing a better blade like a 80-100 tooth crosscut blade (freud/diablo). Second was making a zero clearance insert plate out of plywood. Finally, a mobile miter saw station. Dust collection definitely needs an upgrade like a larger rubber dust chute. Does NOT come with a laser line or shadow line, unless you upgrade it after purchase. The saw needed some minor adjustments in the 0 degree detent which wasn’t difficult. What would make this saw better would be to: better hold down clamp, better dust collection, a shadow line for blade cutline indicator.
