12″ Bosch Miter Saw

Bosch Company has released the newest Axial Glide 12-inch Double Bevel Miter Saw contact GCM12SD which launched about October 2010.. There is no doubt that the newly defined service expectations Saw partners. Right off the bat you could see which Bosch had basically produced a Terminator style device that looked aggressive in addition to raised the bar with regard to how a miter noticed should function..

In place of double track guide to look back and forth, the Bosch GCM 12SD partners see the arm of a multi-joint system integrated two-axis, which consists of 12 sealed precision ball bearings. It’s very similar to the linkage used in the four-bar suspension design.. And the result unbelievably smooth travel and much better control over your cuts. In our opinion, as being labeled the first saw that can consistently handle 1/32″ accuracy every time.

The new Axial Glide system in the Bosch GCM12SD doesn’t just provide a nifty new take on the sliding rail system, it obliterates it by providing a level of smoothness that has never been possible before. Given the sealed ball bearing construction, another great thing is that it will not lower from time to time, and the strong nature of cast aluminum arm means that even in extreme bevels actioning system remains perfectly smooth.

To add some personal customization.. After all, we’re talking about a lot of 50-year-old woodworkers here, Bosch even integrated a “glide damper” which enables users to ratchet down the glide action to increase resistance (so no one can complain that it’s “too smooth”). For us, we loved the default mode where the saw can basically be moved forward and back, with perfectly smooth precision, with just one finger – even at a full bevel!

This Bosch GCM12SD Miter Saw is like no other you will use. Apart from the looks, the enclosed system ensures that it won’t degrade as time passes like a standard rail system which accumulates dust and dirt and works it on the bearings and rollers.. A year after you open it, the Axial Glide will still retain its perfect glide – and that’s what has us anxious to see this technology flourish.

As well as the GCM12SD having a very distinctive appear and feel, the Axial Glide system saves about 12″ of workspace (compared to be able to traditional slide rail systems) by simply folding its articulated arm flush while using back of the observed.. This enables the saw to be operated with virtually totally free clearance behind it.. Think about how this would give goodness using the saw in a cramped workshop, corridor or added capsulated region equivalent a can.

Bosch GCM12SD is one of the first innovations that really captured our imaginations this year. It’s smooth operation and exceptional cutting capacity ensure it is a compelling product.. The truth that Bosch is pricing it comparable to its existing top-of-the-line 12-inch miter found, means that the company will be after the mainstream professional and endeavoring to redefine the industry’s outlook..
