Yes, that's silly. You don't want to use the same blades for a table saw and miter saw. You want high hook angle teeth for the table saw to hold the material down to the table and low or negative hook angle teeth for the miter saw so the blade doesn't pull itself down into your cut. I think it would be a real rarity for me to share blades between them.

I own the DWS779 but I wish I bought this. The axial glide is a huge space saver depth wise. So if you're keeping it in your garage and space is a premium go for this. If you're wheeling out into the driveway or patio to make cuts the dewalt works just as well.

I just draw a pencil line across the board using my rafter square, then bring the blade down to test fit before I pull the trigger to make the cut. Old school process that works. Dont need no stinking laser or shadow box.

Bosch's Glide miter saw stands out for its compact axial glide design, smooth cut feel, and strong reputation for shop use, especially where back clearance and storage space matter. The saw is described as a joy to use, with long term durability and a premium feel, and the 12 inch size is favored at this price for those wanting more capacity. The main drawback is the lack of a built in laser or shadow line, and a few precision focused comments flag table wing height and blade alignment concerns for furniture work. A solid fit when space savings and corded convenience matter more than extra visibility features.

garage woodworkers who want a sliding compound miter saw that saves depth for storage because the axial-glide design is described as a huge space saver depth-wise when it's kept in the garage.
SplendidMammoth869
home projects shoppers who are okay with an "old school" setup instead of relying on a laser because commenters say they draw a pencil line and test-fit by bringing the blade down before cutting, so they don't miss the lack of laser/shadowline.
Papi-Chino
buyers who want to mount the saw on a rolling stand so they can take it outside for driveway/patio cuts because one owner says the Bosch works well for that use and the Dewalt works just as well when wheeling it out.
SplendidMammoth869
people doing repeat 90° crosscuts who already have table-saw sleds because one commenter returned a shadow-line Dewalt due to rear clearance, then kept the Bosch at a permanent workbench spot and later realized they didn't need the extra capability as much as expected.
DoIReallyNeedThis
corded-tool shoppers who specifically want the Bosch slide design because one buyer says they switched from a 36V 10" Makita to this corded Bosch specifically for the slide design and to get back to corded.
truthiness
DIYers who want to buy the 12" version for occasional larger cuts because a 10" owner says at this price they'd likely choose the 12" instead.
compu_tip

buyers who strongly prefer a laser/shadowline for cut visibility because multiple commenters call out that this model lacks a laser or shadowline as a major drawback (even if they personally manage without it).
NavyWallaby579 ALS
home furniture builders who need high-precision alignment because one buyer reports the table wing clamping surface is about 1/64 below the surface and the blade is slightly angled with no adjustments, saying it may be okay for rough carpentry but not for furniture building.
WiseSnail313
people who don't have a dedicated shop and would have to repeatedly pull the saw out and set it up because a buyer considering return says many reviews note it's heavy and better suited for a fixed shop, and they're using it for home projects with garage storage.
crazypopie1
shoppers who need store pickup in certain areas because one commenter says there's no store pickup available in Plano, TX (only about $40 shipping), while pickup is available in W Dallas.
Papi-Chino
people who want to share blades between a table saw and the miter saw because a commenter argues it's a rarity and explains you generally want different tooth hook angles for each tool, so blade sharing isn't a realistic expectation.

Common Questions (5)

No built-in laser or shadow line is included. A laser can be added for about $20, but precision cuts may still be better handled by drawing a pencil line and lowering the blade to test fit before cutting.
NavyWallaby579 ALS Kenjiwing Papi-Chino
Yes. Buyers reported successful Home Depot price matches through chat or phone, sometimes with extra cash back, and the saw could be shipped to a nearby store for pickup when local stock was unavailable.
RafalS4309 chessdragon RafalS4309 ShrewdTeam9668
Yes, the axial-glide design saves a lot of depth because it needs much less rear clearance than a traditional slider. That makes it a strong fit for a garage or permanent bench setup, while a DeWalt-style slider can be easier if you wheel the saw outside for cuts.
SplendidMammoth869 DoIReallyNeedThis 67Stangin crazypopie1
It can work well in a fixed garage setup and is praised for smooth use and space savings, but one report says the table wings sit slightly below the surface and the blade alignment may be off enough to matter for furniture-grade cuts. That makes it better suited to general carpentry than precision joinery if those issues are present on your unit.
DoIReallyNeedThis WiseSnail313 crazypopie1
Not ideally. Table saw blades usually use a higher hook angle to hold material down, while miter saw blades use a lower or negative hook angle, so sharing blades between the two tools is uncommon.

I've been waiting for a good deal on the 10" version of this since I don't think I need the 12" and with 10" I can share blades with my table saw if needed. Are those silly reasons to get the 10" over the 12"? I also thought the 12" was a decent bit bigger and heavier than the 10", but I think the 12" is only 1lb heavier and 6.5" taller.

This like sharing your tooth brush or going full tard. You never go full tard, so that's a negative ghost rider.

You can add a laser line for like 20 bucks and it's very easy guys. You just attach it with the blade

That's how I've always done it too. Dad taught me to always go in front of the mark so you can "sneak up on it" if you're worried about botching a nice piece of wood. Do the shimmy and the square to do referential cuts. Quick clamp both down square to each other (close nuff) bring the blade down onto the longer board and sneak the two boards over until the top board touches the blade. Clamp long board down, put the master board aside, repeat. Stop blocks work better, but aren't always feasible. Also get the fastcap 10,000 dollar stick (it's on sale right now for 20 bucks!) And be safer about cutting those weird tiny triangles.

This.

The problem with lasers is that they spread out (.e.g the line becomes fuzzy) so whatever you see is not exactly what you'll get - so there are times where precision matters and where it doesn't necessarily matter. Where it matters I'm not going to trust the laser anyway, and where it doesn't matter the cuts without a laser should be good enough.

With the exception of foot print differences, is this better than the DWS779? i bought this yesterday but am considering taking it back as many reviews say this is heavy and better suited for a shop (fixed). I will be using it for home projects and do not have a shop...I will be storing in the garage and will have to pull it out and setup every time it is needed. I was even considering the DWS716 or DWS716XPS as I doubt I will be doing any cuts larger than 8".

I initially bought a DWS780 (it's the 779 with a shadow line). The clearance required in the back was so much that I had to return it. I bought the Bosch instead and have it at a permanent spot on my workbench.

Only to realize that I really don't need it and can easily get by with a circular saw. And I have several perfect 90deg crosscut sleds for my table saw.
The Bosch is a joy to use. High quality. I have it on a rolling stand now.

Thanks for the info. This sounds like an upgrade over my current setup.

I'm wondering if they are starting to discount the current version because the new saw is coming out. It will come with shadow line and retail price is supposed to drop on new saw, but at this price, I'd be hard pressed to say no. I have the Ridgid version (not as good) and the space savings is a huge factor.

I did it through the phone call, It also took me about 30 minutes or so and as you mentioned they walked me through some crazy payment system but it worked and got email confirmation as well. Luckily I was able to order it for shipment to the nearby store that's only 4 miles away. It's great miter saw so it was definitely worth it.
