BOSCH CM10GD Compact Miter Saw - 15 Amp Corded 10 Inch Dual-Bevel Sliding Glide Miter Saw with 60-Tooth Carbide Saw Blade, Blue

I am a carpenter and I make a lot of use of Bosch tools, lasers, drills, table saws, drill bits, and so on, and I decided to buy a new Bosch miter saw. I have been using a Hitachi 10" miter saw for between 6 and 7 years, and I find it to be both easy to use and reliable. The new Bosch was all I wanted to try and I regretted it the very next The machine is difficult to maneuver, to turn, to cut and to cut with. My right bevel switch broke a week later (very hard to turn) and I am now unable to cut right bevel, and I am back at the old Hitachi. After talking to customer service, they told me that there is a service center but it is not near me, so I will have to go there and will lose a day at work. Buying a miter saw will be such an expense for me. Since Bosch is a professional company, I expected more before they put the tool on the market. I thought that prior to marketing, they would review the tool and give it to professionals for testing. The situation wasn't the same as I had expected. Buying Bosch miter saws is no longer an option for me!.

In order to upgrade my miter saw, I did a lot of research on the subject. On my list of top tools, Bosch kept appearing. As I recall, I assumed at the time that for the price, we would be getting an excellent piece of software. A miter saw won't do you any harm by weighing an enormous amount and nearly breaking your back trying to lift it, but it cuts accurately, moves fluidly and has everything you could need. Having a laser guide would be great, but for $600, you wouldn't expect it to have it. They use plastic for critical pieces, but that is the worst thing they could do. I am on my second saw, and this one also broke recently as it uses a plastic knob to set the bevel angle. It's not clear what causes this to happen, but I guess that if anything jams in the 24 inches long arm that connects to the saw's back, the plastic knob simply breaks As far as I know, Amazon's return period has passed so we'll see how well their warranty service works. The knob is 1 despite the fact that it is A knob replacement costs 99 dollars, and you cannot do it on your own. You need to use some type of machine to installation.

Over the course of a year, I saved up for this purchase- Awaiting its arrival with great excitement. The fact that it does not cut straight DISAPPOINTES me. You can read all the other reviews here You can't go wrong with them. A kurf is cut one way, then an angle is cut on the return trip. Then I am not able to join! The rough cuts are all that remains.

The saw I have is used every day by my company that specializes in stair work. It amazes me how much better this saw is than any other saw I've used over the last 37 years. The pros are The motor must be strong enough to function. There are all the functions in front of you, and they work well. The miters went past 45 degrees in all directions
pinning the slide arm in a pivot is a great designbr>Cons Having a laser for quick reference is always nice, and while the device does not come with one, I purchased a battery powered one, and it seems to fail on me a lot. The second point is
My only issue is that it is heavier than I like. The third point is the most important. builds up in the mechanism on the rear causing it to do tricky things like not letting the angle miter get to 45° at times and it does not always blow well. The following is the full version of the heading.
There needs to be a better design on the chute for the dust collector I use to pull dust from the saw.

The saw I purchased disappointed me a great deal. It is expected of me that I produce a fine finish as a finish carpenter. The wood will not cut smooth when cut at an angle with a wide board. There have been a lot of saws in my collection and this one is down at the bottom in terms of what has worked well for me.

It has some flaws, but it is perfect in many ways. I am very impressed with how well it works right out of the box, as it has been This means it is ready to go. Additionally, it takes only a few minutes to set up. This saw cuts very smoothly since it has all of the adjustments in front (bevels, miters, etc. ) there is no need to reach behind it to do A flaw is To attach this saw to an easier to transport or higher stand such as the GTA3800 stand, I recommend using a GTA3800 stand or gravity rise stand. The present saw lacks handles, which were present on the previous Bosch model. A moving arm is probably to blame (the heads-up display). By having handles, I was able to carry it by hand easily. There is also no rail to tie up the power cord, so you might trip over the cord if you have to move it without a stand. There is however a velcro strap to secure the cord, but it feels like a weak solution for this.

It offers both the accuracy of a smaller blade saw and the capacity of a larger blade saw, as well as the ergonomics and silence of a higher-end However, even though I like it, your product has a couple of negatives to it. Although it is incredibly accurate and reliable, it is ridiculously heavy (for this reason). Observation 2. This safety switch is a little awkward. I would have preferred an easy to use thumb/pinky thought I had ordered a video but did not realize I had ordered a video
3. Neither a laser light nor a shadow light is included with this model. For this price, it should have. There is a very good spot on the blade cover for it. It may be possible to add an attachment or mod to darken the shadows.

Using the axial glide system, I have found it very precise and smooth. As a whole, the saw seems to be I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the saw had adjustable side extensions, which I did not expect after watching some reviews. I still find that the extensions work very well even though they're simpler than what a 12" saw offers. I find that the dust collection is okay not as good as my circular saw, but better than my table Controls on the front of the deck are excellent, and the detents are very easy to engage. A few minor adjustments were required out of the box, but the process was simple and everything has remained in alignment since then. As I will install this saw against a wall, the axial glide system from Bosch appeals to me because of its compact design.
