Bosch 5412 Miter Saw only $599.00

I’ve been using this for three weeks now and it rocks. Most of the time I use it in a stand in my shop but I have used it on site.

The dust bag really isn’t very good. I’d say it collects 20% of the dust produced.

But everything else appears to be designed by someone that actually uses a mitre saw. The side table extensions are nice for use on the job site. They make it much easier (surprisingly) to hold a long workpiece in place.

The swivel handle is a surprisingly nice feature. I thought this feature wouldn’t be noticable but it really does make operation easier.

The detent overrides work well. There is a depth stop that allows the operator to use the saw to cut only halfway through a board, so this saw can be used to cut half-lap joints.

I’ve never been a big fan of lasers and the laser on this saw didn’t change my opinion.
