Nonetheless, this model doesn’t come with an LED guiding light or a laser (you can buy it separately). It does have a good dust collection system similar to the previous DeWalt product I mentioned above due to the dust chute and port. With a large, soft-grip ambidextrous handle, left-handed users will feel comfortable handling this unit. There is also a dust chute and vacuum adaptor for easy dust management in the work area. The dust chute is compatible with 35 mm and 1-1/4-inch hoses. VH1022, VH1035 and VH1635 (by means of VX120 adapter included with those hoses), VAC005 and VAC006 hoses, and most other 22 mm and 35 mm hoses The saw is good, but there is a scope for improvement—the first thing you will notice that the Bosch GCM12SD doesn't feature a laser system. Hence, you will need to buy the same if you want to cut things with precision.Another thing that I would like to mention is portability. If you plan to take the saw to different job locations, you need to invest in a good stand with wheels. A problem associated with many miter saws is that they produce dust that creates problems for the tool. As such, the wood dust gets in-between the slide mechanics and jams it up. If you are not careful with these tools, you will end up injuring your fingers. Features of Bosch GCM12SD Miter Saw Let’s take a look at the Bosch GCM12SD‘s specs – it has a 12-inch blade with a 14-inch cutting capacity (horizontally) and 6-1/2 inches (vertically). On crown molding against a fence with a 45-degree spring, it also has a 6-1/2-inch capacity. It has a 15-amp motor and a 3,800-RPM no-load speed. The tool weighs 65 pounds. Due to their different blade sizes, they also make distinct cuts. The Bosch CM10GD can cut 12 inches horizontally, which is shorter than the cutting capacity of Bosch GCM12SD at 14 inches. Vertically, they also differ with the Bosch GCM12SD at 6-1/2 inches for vertical and crown capacity while the Bosch CM10GD is at 5-1/2 inches for its vertical capacity and 6 inches for its crown capacity.

VH1622A and VH1635A (by means of anti-static adapter included with those hoses), VAC008, and most other 22 mm and 35 mm anti-static hoses I have seen miters that gave up on facing situations where I need to cut 4×6 pieces of wood at a 60-degrees angle. The Bosch GCM12SD Corded Dual-Bevel Sliding Glide Miter Saw cut them as if they were pieces of butter. This tool is excellent for cutting wood for landscaping triangles. Typically, the more complicated the build of a miter saw, the higher the price. If you only occasionally use the tool, you may not need all the extra features. If you’re ready to do some carpentry, either for work or on your own do-it-yourself projects, a miter saw is a handy tool to have around. Designed to make precision cuts into wood, a miter saw is a much safer, more efficient way to do things than basic saws.If you prefer a simple miter saw for small and moderate jobs, the 10-inch Bosch CM10GD is for you. It has sufficient features and has roughly the same specifications as the Bosch GCM12SD except for the blade, cutting capacity, and weight. In addition, the design saves space. You do not need to allow for guide bars projecting to the rear and as the controls for setting mitre and bevel cuts are at the front of the machine; you can position the GCM 12 GDL against a wall. The saw has a large cutting capacity and wide ranges of both mitre and bevel angles. A laser projects a dual line defining each side of the kerf for precise line-up before cutting. A depth of cut limiter allows you to groove or rebate.

Compound sliding miter saw: This includes mitering, beveling and sliding functions to maximize your flexibility in your work. The DeWalt DWS780 ( read my review) is a similar 12-inch miter saw that has a precise miter system due to the XPS crosscut positioning system for improved accuracy. It also has a 15-amp motor that runs at 3,800 RPM. Similar to the 12-inch Bosch tool I mentioned earlier, this model also has a great dust collection system. This miter saw is a dual-bevel sliding model, which means that you don’t have to flip your material, unlike a single-bevel model. It boasts a larger cutting capacity due to the bigger blade so it is meant for tougher projects and materials. Specifications Incline setting on both sides up to 47¬∞ on the front of the machine for easy and convenient angle settings If you want a miter saw from the same manufacturer, a similar tool would be the Bosch CM10GD ( read my review and comparison) , although this one only has a 10-inch blade. Regardless, all the features from the Bosch GCM12SD are found on this compact miter saw except for a similar blade size. If you feel very comfortable with the axial glide system, this is a good alternative if you only need to work with smaller projects. SummaryClint’s career has covered nearly the entire realm of audio and video production. After graduating at the top of his class with an Associates Degree in Recording Engineering, he began working for the famed Soundelux studios in 1994, one of the largest post-production companies specializing in audio for feature films & television. Working on a myriad of feature films, Clint honed his skills as a dialogue editor, foley editor, and sound designer. Years later, he moved into the expanding area of video editing, where he served as the company’s senior AVID video editor for three years. I also want to emphasize on the tool's convenient usage. Not only is it easy to use, but its ergonomic features also ensure long hours of comfortable work without any hurdles. The miter saw is equipped with an ambidextrous trigger handle with a soft grip. Compound miter saw: With this type of miter saw, you can adjust the saw blade (known as “mitering”) either to the left or right. This allows you to cut the wood at an angle as needed. The unique axial glide system minimizes the work area footprint while making it easier to glide the unit. This would appeal to workspaces that don’t have the luxury of space. The handle is comfortable for all-day use. As mentioned earlier, I have been working in the construction field for nearly three decades. During this time, I have been using the Bosch GCM12SD. I have put the tool through lots of tests. I have used different varieties of wood such as maple, as well as railroad ties. It has managed to deal with them without a hitch.
