Very good design, with some features lacking. Dust collection is poor, but that’s going to happen with a miter saw. The depth stop is a little flimsy, but slipping a washer underneath takes care of that. The stuff that really matters (setup, ease of use, alignment, precision) is perfect.

Great for indoor use or where space is limited. Great cross cut length! Easy adjustments.

Great saw. I cant imagine anyone not liking this saw. I see several complaints not precise but I made a full crosscut on plywood and my large square shows it to be dead on dead on. There is the excessive weight but I consider that a plus. Complaints about no laser so what buy one I dont feel the need. However the DeWalt light contraption would be cool. The bag for sawdust is all but useless but all of them pretty much are. My only real complaint is the power switch safety. Its terrible and probably the cause of peoples inprecise cuts. Its hard to push causing side pressure while cutting. What i done for a fix is cut wood blocks that fit the safety on both ends to disable it. I no longer have a safety but generally dont like them. I will leave them working if they’re well designed this one is very bad.This a well thought out saw that works very well. Buy it for precision, ease of use, duribility, and space savings. I have no regrets

This stand is well designed, rugged and the workmanship is excellent. It assembled easily and there were no missing pieces. It is sturdy when set up and adjustable foot on the leg is a nice feature. It even fit my Ryobi 10″ miter saw without the need for an intermediate piece of plywood or any extra drilling. definitely worth the money.

Anyone looking for precise miter joints, get this saw! My ryobi was great but needed an upgrade when starting a business

This saw was set up perfectly out of the box. Blade was square, fence was square, I was extremely happy. I bought a brand new ridgid sliding before and spent 3 days trying to square it up, I finally gave up and took it back. Should have bought this one first.

The miter Saul was as pictured in as good as the reviews. Slightly off square but easy to square up,

So far so good. Cutting doubles up 2×6’s like butta. Also cutting a bunch of 6×6’s. You have to rotate the 6’6’s but it cuts the sh*% out of them!

Tell you what. I’ve been a building contractor for 38 years. Been through every size shape and brand and this one is my favorite! Little fine tuning to set it perfect but it was real close out of the box. This is a smooth saw. If your hands are smaller the grip may be a bit uncomfortable and this may not be the saw if you’re running from site to site each day because it’s heavy. It is a fantastic saw.

Love everything about it.

Excellent in every way, except could be better in the dust collection area. I was aware of this before I pulled the trigger on purchasing the unit.

My Last Chop Saw was only 10″ and not sliding. I had it for 15 years. My new Bosch is amazing. I am a casual user with around 10 to 20 projects annually. Wow! What a difference. I have done 2 projects since I have had the saw with ease and precision. I did also purchase a Ridgid Miter Saw Utility Vehicle (MSUV) with material extensions and that made good better. The features and served my every need. Great saw!

I admittedly am not a pro however I do use this saw several times a month. I love the smooth movement of this saw and the size of wood it can cut. It’s very accurate, everything was very square when I received it but the fence which was very easy to adjust. I’m very happy with it and think it is well worth the money.
