Compact Axial-Glide System Creates Smooth, Controlled Cuts
Bosch's patented Axial-Glide System is designed to create smooth cuts and ensure you have complete control over the saw's cutting action. Axial-Glide doesn't use a traditional rail setup, so this saw takes up to 12 inches less workspace than many competitors.

Blade Compatibility and Powerful Motor for Versatile Performance
In addition, this Bosch miter saw's 15 amp motor delivers no-load speeds of 3,800 rpm for quick, accurate cuts in many materials. For further convenience and versatility, the saw is compatible with a variety of 12-inch blades, and it has a clear lower guard to provide unobstructed cut-line visibility.

Flexible Setup with Large Capacity
With a 14-inch horizontal capacity, a 6-1/2-inch vertical capacity for material against the fence or base, and a 6-1/2-inch crown capacity against the fence at 45 degrees, this miter saw is useful for a variety of cuts.

Additionally, the saw features two sliding integrated base extensions that provide adjustable support for materials measuring up to 40 inches long.

Quick-Release Squarelock Fences Provide Accurate, Easy Alignment
High-precision, trademarked Squarelock fences come aligned at 90-degree angles to the saw's table and require no adjustments. These quick-release fences utilize a one-touch lock/unlock feature that allows you to easily slide each fence into position for accurate material alignment.

Adjustable Miter Detents and Easy-Access Detent Override
An etched stainless steel miter scale with large, easy-to-read markings lets you accurately set cuts measuring up to 52 degrees to the left and up to 60 degrees to the right. Common angles are easy to set with miter detents at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, and 45 degrees on the right and left, and 60 degrees on the right.

A push-button miter detent override helps ensure fine miter angle adjustment for precise cuts. This thumb-actuated control is located at the front of the saw for easy access.

Up-Front Bevel Controls, Marked Detents, and Roof Pitch Angles
The saw's all-metal bevel lock lever and range selector are located up front to make bevel adjustments easy.

The bevel capacity allows you to cut at angles ranging from 0 to 47 degrees to the left and the right, while marked detents and roof pitch angles make the most common angles easy to set. The saw features bevel detents at 0, 33.9, and 45 degrees for both left- and right-facing cuts, and it includes a high visibility dual-bevel scale.

Ergonomic Grip and Dust Capture for User Comfort
Weighing only 65 pounds, this compact miter saw is easy to maneuver. It features a large, ergonomic handle with a soft grip for user comfort, and it offers an ambidextrous trigger setup for both right- and left-handed users.

To further ensure user comfort, this Bosch saw's combination dust chute and vacuum adaptor provides dust capture for a cleaner work environment and improved visibility.

Like all Bosch power tools, the 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch GCM12SD 120-Volt 12-Inch DB Glide Miter Saw

Customer Review: Bosch 's GCM12SD a great buy for the features.
Summary: 5 Stars

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Let me preface this review by saying that we've built 2 homes (ourselves) complete with wall to wall hardwood floors & crown molding throughout them. While our previous miter saws were adequate for the jobs, this one is like the Rolls Royce of miter saws! There is no comparison really. So instead of comparing this to various models let me tell you what this one has as its distinguishing features. As my husband is the main user of the power tools in our home, here is his opinion of this miter saw.
The Bosch GCM12SD is a cool looking addition to any shop or workplace. It has a 15 Amp motor that produces 3,800 rpm & 3 HP (maximum). So not only is it easy on the eyes but it has all the power you'll need to get the most demanding jobs done!
Bosch's 12 sealed ball bearing glide mechanism does just that.....this baby GLIDES.......smooth & sweet! It's a pleasure to operate. It cuts clean and accurate each time. The glide damper lets you adjust the resistance to your own preference which is really nice.
I really like the articulating glide arm system, it is VERY precise. The design looks like it is very well built & will hold up well over time. The folding articulating arm is flush with the back of the saw, saving up to a foot of workspace which makes it great for working in small spaces or crowded workshops where counter surface is a premium (aka my garage) there is also a stand you can buy for this allowing it to be a stand alone unit!
The Axial-Glide system gives you greater cutting ability. The horizontal cutting capacity is 14 inch & a 6 1/2 inch maximum vertical (for base) and a 6 1/2 inch capacity for cutting crown molding. It is very versatile. Having the Controls in the front makes adjustments so much easier with the (all metal) bevel lock lever & range selector right in front of you, no reaching around, MUCH easier to see, making adjusting the bevel settings a breeze. You can really save a lot of time with the Quick Release Fence system that automatically aligns the 2 piece fence at 90 degrees to the table making any additional adjustments unnecessary! The base also has two sliding supports that extend the length all the way to 40 inches. It's easy to dial for precision cuts; the steel miter scale is super easy to read.
I find this unit to be well made and easy to use. I believe it will outperform & outlast any other miter saw on the market today, oh and the trigger handle feels great in my hand and the lower guard is clear to boot! It seems like they really thought of everything when they designed this baby! For anyone who does serious woodworking, this is a dream come true. The only miter saw that comes close to this would be Festool's Kapex that costs around $1,300.00, making this a real bargain in this category of miter saws! However, IF $$ is tight & you only occasionally have a need for a miter saw, this would NOT be the one for you!
