Axial-Glide System
"The miter saw's patented axial-glide system is nothing short of revolutionary. Instead of sliding on two rails, the Bosch GCM12SD Sliding Miter Saw uses a pair of hinged arms that do not protrude out behind the saw. Bosch has made a precision machine that is capable, in our opinion, as being labeled the first saw that can consistently handle 1/32-in accuracy every time!"
SquareLock Quick Release Fence
"The GCM12SD additionally boasts Bosch's high-precision Squarelock fence famous for requiring no adjustments, its one touch lock/unlock slide, and its always stable fence support. Factory machining automatically aligns the two-piece high-precision fence at 90° to the table with no additional adjustment."
Integrated Expanding Base Extensions
"Each side of the miter saw also sports integrated expanding base extensions or material supports that pull-out and lock into position to provide 40 inches left-to-right material support. That's a full 60% more than the leading competitor - all without a separate stand. Exclusive to Bosch, this feature provides maximum working space without the use of a bulky table."
Up-Front Controls
"I really like the up-front bevel control that eliminates reaching around the back of the saw for bevel adjustments. The all-metal bevel lock lever and range selector allow for quick and easy bevel setting.”
Expanding Cutting Capacity
"The GCM12SD Glide Miter Saw provides 14-in of horizontal cutting capacity (nominal), 6-1/2-in max vertical cutting capacity against the fence (base) and a 6-1/2-in cutting capacity cutting crown molding against the fence (45 degrees spring). We would have expected some compromise to enable new technology; instead, Bosch made it even more capable!"
Easy-to-read Uniform Bevel and Miter Scale
"The easy-to-read, precision-engineered etched stainless steel miter scale aligns with 10 adjustable miter detents for maximum flexibility over the saw’s entire 52°-left and 60°-right miter range. That means that if you are compound-cutting a unique crown you can move the detents around for easy use throughout the saw's entire 52-degree (left) and 60-degree (right) miter range."
