Possibly the most surprising spec on the new Axial Glide 12″ Miter Saw is that Bosch actually increased its cutting capacity over their existing 12-inch Dual-Bevel Slide Miter Saw. The GCM12SD provides 14″ of horizontal cutting capacity. That’s an increase of 2-inches. It also has 6-1/2 inches of maximum vertical cutting capacity against the fence (crown or base). That’s an increase of 1/2-inch over the former model. We would have expected some compromise to enable new technology. Instead, Bosch made it even more capable.

VH1622A and VH1635A (by means of anti-static adapter included with those hoses), VAC008, and most other 22 mm and 35 mm anti-static hoses I noticed that the Bosch GCM12SD Miter Saw comes with an axial glide system. This patented technology allows wider cross-cuts with better alignment without making the saw bulky. The axial gliding system is like no other; it is one of the smoothest that I have ever worked with. Ease of Use Even though the Bosch GCM12SD is a great tool, there are a few cons worth noting. The miter saw is on the heavy side.

For better usability, it has an LED work light to illuminate your cut to avoid making mistakes when working in dim areas.

The miter saw is equipped with an ambidextrous trigger handle with a soft grip.This type of light system is becoming a new standard on miter saws, but this Bosch GCM12SD saw that I am using doesn’t have that option. Companies like Dewalt, ridgid, and Milwaukee have put this light system on their newer models. The real key to this LED light working properly is that it is centered over the blade, this is easy to do, and easy to verify before you attach anything to the saw. The other part of this that is crucial is that your particular saw guard has to have enough room to clear the LED light as it comes up over the saw hood.

They are equipped with detents at common angles and easily accessible upfront controls. The miter saw also comes with a push-button miter detent override. Its easily accessible thumb actuated control ensures fine adjustment of the miter angle.
