Product Description
This is what a miter saw ought to be: accurate, sturdy, powerful, versatile, user-friendly and packed full of cool features. If we had to choose a favorite aspect, it would have to be the handle. It’s vertical. It’s horizontal. And it’s a couple of other things in between. It locks quickly and easily into any of four positions, so both lefties and righties have complete comfort and control. This saw is beefy -- it weighs in at 55 pounds and it’s got a nice, wide footprint that promises the ultimate stability, and sliding extensions bring your support area to 37-1/4 inches. If you’re in the market for a stand for this saw as well, we like both the Bosch TracRac as well as the DeWalt DW723. The dual bevel is a great feature, swinging 47 degrees left and 46 degrees right, with positive bevel stops at 31.6 and 33.9 degrees for flawless crown molding cuts. For miter cuts, the blade swings an impressive 52 degrees left and 60 degrees to the right. There’s even a micro-fine adjustment here, letting you override a detent by as much as 2 degrees. Now that’s precision. We absolutely love the fence on this saw – Bosch calls it a Speed-track sliding fence – because it’s a full 4 inches tall and has a beautifully readable inch-scale on it. It’s perfect for crown molding, handling pieces up to 6 inches wide when angled against the fence. We’re suddenly rethinking our earlier statement about our favorite feature on this saw; on second thought, it might well be that all the controls – including the bevel lever – are up front. We’re pretty tired of reaching around a saw body to set a bevel, so this is a most welcome upgrade. Adjustments are so much faster and easier, and all the scales are right up front, too. Capacities are generous, thanks to the slide, with a max cut of a 2-by-12 at a 45-degree bevel and 3-5/8 by 12 inches when the blade is upright. And yes, this saw has a laser cutting guide, but unless you really want one, we wouldn’t let that sway a decision on this saw one way or the other. It’s a nice feature if you’re likely to use it, but most of us woodworkers prefer to get a visual on exactly where that blade meets the wood. In all, this is a beauty of a saw, with features you aren’t going to find on other saws in its class. And we still can’t pick our favorite between the handle and the up-front controls. It’s all good. -- Kris Jensen-Van Heste

very happy with this saw

Comment:
Bought this saw for home renovations. Cutting all my crown and baseboard was a pleasure using this saw. The laser is offset slightly but is still useful to get close, still am sighting off the blade for final alignment. Very solidly built, easy to set miter/bevel. Controls feel solid as well.
I would recommend this saw.
Comment:
The saw arrived in good condition. Immediately after setup, I checked the cutting angles and no adjustments were needed. I don't have a lot of time on it yet but am very happy so far.

Comment:
I purchased this saw in Jan 2007 from Amazon & have have used it a lot in the past 2 years - mostly on projects that involve customized moldings from wide stock for a house restoration project. The unit was square & true right out of the box with no adjustments necessary. As has been frequently mentioned in previous reviews, the saw dust collection system leaves a lot to be desired though not a big deal in my shop. This unit replaces a 15 year old Delta saw & I expect to get the same performance out of this one. After 2 years of heavy use, I would buy this saw again.

Bosch compound miter saw review

Comment:
This saw meets or exceeds my expectations, in every way but one. The vacuum dust extraction does little or no good, so I just leave the dust collection bag in place.
Comment:
I'm not a master carpenter or a finish carpenter. If I were, I'd likely buy the Festool miter saw but for the $, this saw has been better than I expected. The only downer is the dust collection. It really is as bad as everyone said it was. So, if you're going to use this saw inside a house, you'll regret it. It took me about 1/2 hour to verify the saw was square and make one slight adjustment. Great saw!
