Easy to assemble and works like a charm!! Best miter saw . Used a friends to build a pergola and had to buy myself one. Highly recommend it

Drill is awesome with features, easy to use and most important has a small footprint saving shop space!

This saw cuts good. I needed a sliding saw to make larger cuts than my 20 year old Dewalt. I don’t have a large work space and chose the Bosch because of it’s compact footprint. The saw was almost dead-on accurate right out of the box. I did switch out the blade for an ninety- tooth finish blade, and put the saw to work. It did not disapoint.

Of all the saws I’ve looked at on the market, this outranks them all. Everything is calibrated out of the box, and it’s super smooth. Very pleased.

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.

Bought this for my husband and it’s a beast. Recommend purchasing the Bosch Miter saw table as it makes it easy to use and can place in convenient areas. This is a great investment and best on the market.

Great saw. Works flawless. Miter matches perfectly. If I only had to complain about one thing is how tricky it can be when taking out of the box. Your first instinct is to take it out via pulling the handle which I should’ve known it is not rated for the heavy weight of the saw. Highly recommended!

Love the saw. Accurate outbof the box and good dust collection.
Idella Cummerata (verified owner) –
Very well built, overall a good design – the knobs to raise/lower the extension arms/supports could be located in a better location, high quality materials used to construct, very sturdy support for saw and materials.

Love this saw. I was a replacement saw for the same saw that was 15 years old but I just wanted a new one. The old one worked perfectly, just was old. The new one has a few different features with the slide and such, but all in all, it’s the same.

Works great and you have all the necessary set screws to really dial it in.

Great Saw it was square right out of the box. But the only thing I don’t like is it doesn’t have a laser or a shadow line. There is no excuse to charge $659 plus tax and not put a laser or a shadow line that is ridiculous.

I was very pleased with the timely shipping and how smooth this saw slides…and for those who say it glides to easily there is an adjustment for that.

So far so good. No complaints. Stable stand and well made.

Stable product quality is worth having

Nice saw , only minor adjustments out of the box. First job was cutting 5/4 oak stair treads, it work flawlessly. Have had single bevel 12″ miter saws for 30 years and there isn’t any comparison. Worth every penny.

As always with Bosch excellent quality never disappoints.

I’m a finish woodworker and I was looking to replace my old delta chop saw. I’ve had it for ever and this is just what I needed. This saw cut great out of the box (the free blade is ok) but I put on a diablo 100 tooth blade and it’s amazing.
