Bosch's 12 inch Glide miter saw stands out for its smooth sliding action, compact footprint, and strong cutting performance for woodworking and DIY use. The forward arm design lets it sit closer to a wall than many slider saws, and the saw is praised as accurate once adjusted square. The main drawbacks are its hefty 88.2 pound weight and the lack of a built in laser or shadow line, though aftermarket kits are available. The grip and trigger also feel chunky for some hands, making it a capable but bulky shop tool.

Common Questions (6)

  • It does not include a built-in laser or shadow line/cut line illuminator. Aftermarket shadow-line or cut-line kits are available for under $50, and one newer-model video shows a shadow line on the updated saw.

  • The current model is widely regarded as a strong buy for hobbyist and homeowner use, and the newer version is rumored to cost about $600. The older model is also preferred by some because the bevel adjustment is on the front instead of the back.

  • No, the Bosch's forward-arm glide design does not need empty space behind the saw for slider bars. That makes it take up less floor space and lets it sit closer to a wall than many other sliding miter saws.

  • Yes, it is very heavy at about 88.2 lbs. That weight makes it a beast to move around, even compared with 10-inch saws.

  • Yes, it can be adjusted easily to cut square, and like most miter saws it may need a simple out-of-box tune-up. Periodic cleaning and oiling also help it stay smooth over time.

  • The grip and trigger are chunky, and the trigger safety slide can pinch your hand. That is the main ergonomic complaint, even though the saw itself is otherwise well liked.

How does this compare to dewalt saw?
Totally different sliding mechanism. Most saws require empty space behind the saw for the slider bars. Bosch does not, which means it takes up less floor space.

Went to Lowes to check it. FYI, this beast is heavy like your cuz that eats hos hos. Also, no shadow line, so keeping my Dewalt 12" Battery power I got at Lowes for 450. Not fan of the double barrel slide rods though, cause sits further from wall compared to the Bosch that has forward arm.
You're missing out. A shadow line is just a simple $20 add-on. https://a.co/d/02iRfBGz

This is the best mitre saw you can buy. The only drawback is that it doesn't have a laser or shade guide. There are aftermarket options though

I got this for the same price on amazon a few days ago. I wanted the new Bosch Miter EXCM341-305GD but it isn't out yet and I couldn't pass on the other at this price

no issue with the sliding mechanism being rough? That was the common complaint
As long as you clean and oil once in a while it's as smooth as it was the day it came out of the box.
