jryan15 Member Since: Jul 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	awesome miter saw! Strengths: nice easy miters, very accurate Weaknesses: heavy Summary: I bought this saw with the intention of trimming out my entire house and have not been disappointed thus far. I've done casing, chair rail, wainscot, baseboard and crown and it's on the money. The tuning instructions were easy to follow and by running through each one and correcting where necessary, the saw is perfectly tuned. To the reviewer who has detected a flex in the blade, I had the same problem using a Freud Diablo 80 tooth blade - the problem was the blade, not the saw. I have since replaced it with an 80 tooth Dewalt woodworking blade and cuts are straight and super accurate. Definitely my favorite tool purchase of the last year. 100% of People (4/4) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

wizardefc from WA Member Since: Aug 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 14 Days	Bosch does it again. Strengths: Smooth and tight movements. Weaknesses: Right tilt is a little corky Summary: This a nice heavy well constructed miter saw. The saw is adjustments are smooth and precise. My only gripe is the the right bevel tilt is a little corky in that you must slightly tilt the saw to the left and spin a dial to get the pin released so, the right tilt is possible. Other than that the saw performs wonderfully. The saw is well thought out for ergonomics and engineered well. Please note that this saw is big in size and heavy. It stands 31" tall when the blade is up, it is about 30 inches deep from front to back without the dust bag attached (attached it is another foot or so). Strongly recommend this saw. Please read review on the Bosch TracRac Portable Miter Saw Stand - T3B that I use with this saw. 67% of People (2/3) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

standardpc from CA Member Since: Sep 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Months	Very solid and well built! Strengths: Solid construction Includes accessories for cutting moulding Weaknesses: Not perfectly aligned out of the box (but not many competitors are) Blade is only piece that isn't high-end. Summary: Great saw out of the box. Many features to play with. Manual is pretty good and detailed. Took me about an hour to read through it to adjust everything then another hour to play around with all accessories. Solid construction and built in carrying handle above blade. This makes it a lot easier to move if you don't plan on having it permanently mounted. The extensions on either side are always very smooth and solid but again aren't very useful if you plan on permanently mounting to workbench. The blade could be better but I guess Bosch assumed that you'll upgrade eventually. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.

The saws adjustments are smooth and precise. Good accurate cuts right out of the box. Excellent control layout. The stock blade is the weakest part of the package.
