Background

The Bosch GCM12SD is a miter saw with a 12-inch dual-bevel sliding glide system. This corded electric tool was first introduced in September 2010. It operates with a 15A, 4-pole motor and has a no-load speed of 3,800 rpm. The saw has a blade made from carbide-tipped steel, which has a diameter of 12 inches and 60 teeth. The miter saw is capable of beveling 47° to the left and right, and mitering 52° to the left and 60° to the right. Its dimensions are 32.4 x 26.5 x 27 inches, and it weighs 88 lbs.

The Bosch GCM12SD miter saw is equipped with features such as a dual-bevel sliding glide system that allows for accurate cuts and smooth sliding action. The SquareLock fence design ensures that the fence is perpendicular to the saw blade for precise miters. It also boasts an axial-glide for a broader cross-cut capacity and improved alignment precision. The saw has a controlled startup feature, large uniform bevel scales for precise settings, and integral electronics for overload protection. It also features an electric blade-change and a tool-less blade change mechanism for convenience. The product also comes with a tool-free vertical work clamp for secure material hold, customizable bevel detents for quick setting of common bevel angles, and a vacuum adapter for maintaining cleanliness in the work area.
