I was looking into buying the Bosch CM12GD but found the cordless version on sale and cheaper for the bare tool.
This is Lowe's Deal of the Day. So, it's only good for today Feb 9th, 2025
Bosch
Model #GCM18V-12GDCN
Product Info
Product Description:
This Bosch 12 In. miter saw features the Axial-Glide™ System and BITURBO Brushless™ Technology to deliver a professional cordless solution to the jobsite. The GCM18V-12GDC features the Bosch-exclusive Axial-Glide™ for wider cross-cuts, enhanced alignment and smooth glide for the life of the tool. This system features an articulating arm with no slide arms behind the saw, so it takes less space than a sliding-rail miter saw. It delivers a large cutting capacity, with a 3.5 In. depth and a 13.5 In. width/crosscut. The bevel controls are upfront for easy access. This compact saw is portable while being compatible with a variety of 12 In. blades. This miter saw is part of the PROFACTOR™ System, which pairs BITURBO Brushless™ Technology with a CORE18V® High Power Battery. BITURBO Brushless™ Technology is a high-performance motor and drive-train system designed to deliver power comparable to high-demand corded tools. It has ECO mode, which extends the battery runtime by up to 20%. The saw features connectivity (module sold separately), providing a link to a connected device via Bosch Toolbox App to customize speed selection and individual mode setting. The saw provides integrated base extensions that extend material support up to 43 In. The 4-3/4 In. tall fence design supports taller material for accurate cuts.

This seems to be a great deal for those already in the Bosch system, or planning to enter into it. I'm already invested in DeWalt and don't want to get into another battery platform. This saw will need a larger more expensive battery to operate. I'll probably be waiting for the corded version to go on sale before pulling the trigger. Thanks for posting.
Seems like a good deal. But all these saws seem to be about 60 pounds. I recently bought the Lowes DOTD De Walt saw & stand combo. I injured my back removing the boxes from the car, & when my back heals I'm returning them. Agreed that once out of the boxes, they'll be easier to schlep-around, but... Any suggestions in lighter weight saws -- either 12" or 10"?

Go with a 10" if you want something lightweight. I believe the deal for the Bosch CM10GD corded 10" miter saw is $439 at Acme Tools, but you might want to check the weight. This Bosch 12" is definitely heavy. It is heavier than the DeWalt 60V. The slide mechanism is what I want where I can have it stationary up against the wall and not have to worry about the slide hitting the wall.
I have the Makita 36V 10" miter saw and it seems manageable. It's lighter than the DeWalt 12" but still 2-handed to carry.
My Milwaukee M18 7 1/4" is one hand portable but it is not as capable or powerful as my DeWalt.
I would recommend the Makita 10" 40V miter saw if you want lightweight and portable 10"

Thanks-- The 10" Bosch is 64 lbs, so not really better than the DeWalt. Makita XGT GSL03M1 is 60 lbs with battery. I guess I could carry it around without the battery & save about 3 pounds... But I think I might be stuck with the heavy saw and just need to work-out more.
