Bosch GCM12SD 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw
The Bosch GCM12SD is a 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw that features a smooth cutting motion, accurate performance and a space-saving design of the Bosch-exclusive Axial-Glide System. Pre-aligned Squarelock fences help the saw maintain precision throughout its life; a soft-grip ambidextrous handle along with a combination dust chute and vacuum adaptor add to user comfort. The saw also offers a large cutting capacity, easy-to-read bevel and miter scales with detents at common angles, and easy-access upfront controls.
Includes
(1) 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw, (1) 60-Tooth Blade, (1) Material Clamp, (1) Blade Wrench, (1) 90 Degree Dust Chute Elbow/Vacuum Adaptor, (1) Dust Bag
Specifications
- Amperage: 15
- Arbor Size: 1-Inch
- Bevel Angle Range: 48 Degrees Left and Right
- Blade Diameter: 12 Inches
- Cord Length: 6 Feet
- Max RPM - No Load: 3,800
- Net Tool Weight: 65 lbs
- Voltage: 120-Volts
Compact Axial-Glide System
The Bosch-exclusive Axial-Glide System is designed to create smooth cuts and ensures that the user has complete control over the saw's cutting action. The glide system offers wider cross-cuts, enhanced alignment and smooth glide for the life of the tool. Axial-Glide doesn't use a traditional rail setup, so this saw takes up to 12 inches less workspace.
Powerful Motor
The Bosch miter saw's 15 amp motor delivers no-load speeds of 3,800 rpm for quick, accurate cuts in many materials. For further convenience and versatility, the saw is compatible with a variety of 12-inch blades and it has a clear lower guard to provide unobstructed cut-line visibility. With a 14-inch horizontal capacity, a 6-1/2-inch vertical capacity for material against the fence or base, and a 6-1/2-inch nested crown capacity against the fence at 45 degrees, this miter saw is useful for a variety of cuts. In addition, the saw features two sliding integrated base extensions that provide adjustable support for materials measuring up to 40 inches long.
Quick-Release Squarelock Fences
Squarelock quick-release fences offer easy, precise alignment. These high-precision fences come aligned at 90-degree angle to the saw's table and require no adjustments. And these quick-release fences utilize a one-touch lock/unlock feature that allows the user to easily slide each fence into position for accurate material alignment.
Up-Front Bevel Controls and Marked Detents
The saw's all-metal bevel lock lever and range selector are located up front to make bevel adjustments easy. The bevel capacity allows you to cut at angles ranging from 0 to 47 degrees to the left and the right, while marked detents and roof pitch angles make the most common angles easy to set. The saw features bevel detents at 0, 33.9, and 45 degrees for both left- and right-facing cuts, and it includes a high visibility dual-bevel scale.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2020Style: Miter SawVerified PurchaseI've had a Ryobi 8 1/2 inch slide miter saw for nearly 30 years. Compact. Crosscuts a 2x12. Lightweight. Dead accurate. And did I say compact? But the slide mechanism requires a bench about 32 inches deep to allow for its travel. With the Bosch it can be mounted on a bench about 20 inches deep, which in a small shop saves a ton of floor space. The price is very good, especially when compared to the Festool model at three times the price, which also requires you to buy their blades as the arbor is metric. The Bosch a good value for the money. It will come to you out of square and the squaring up process is tedious at best. And changing a blade is even worse. You have to hold your left foot correctly and bite your tongue to change a blade. It is like a lawyer wrote the directions. I finally blew it off and just removed the blade guard without following the instructions. Turn this screw precisely two turns and this other one six turns. If you don't Jupiter will explode. The instructions were about that tedious. With my old Ryobi you pushed the blade lock button and removed the blade nut . Finally, the Bosch comes set up to cut framing lumber. You'll want to buy a Freud 100 tooth carbide blade for about 55 bucks and put that rough cutting supplied blade aside for when you want to build a barn. Don't get me wrong, it is a good saw, well designed, but huge in size and weight. And when you push the "on" button hold on as the torque throws the saw up a couple inches at start up. I would give the saw a rating for "sheerness" but WTF is that in relation to a power tool? Isn't that something to do with pantyhose???? Come on Amazon, how about replacing that with "value for the dollar?"
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2024Style: Miter SawVerified PurchaseI am not a miter saw expert by any means, and have very limited experience using them, but this Bosch miter saw is really phenomenal, it has every feature I can think of on it, it looks amazing when you put it together, and it runs so smooth. The machine does not make that much noise when it runs and cuts through material with zero effort, the cuts are also really smooth with the included 60 tooth saw (although I did buy a 80 tooth one) but there are no chips on the wood and really smooth edge. I use the clamp it came with to tighten down any wood I'm working with so it doesn't move but I'm still really impressed by the quality of the cuts. If you have a woodworking hobby and need to make sure pieces are square this is really a great saw for that. I also get the sense it's built really high quality and will probably last a lifetime.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2020Style: Miter SawVerified PurchaseMy first review for any product, this saw is worth the time.
I’ll start by saying I’m sorry to those of you who had some issue with your Bosch saw, but the positive reviews far out numbered the negative, on amazon and the net.
I’ve wanted one since they first came out but just couldn’t pull the trigger at 650 bucks but when the price hit under 545 I hit buy it now.
I’ve had it for a week before I could actually unbox it. So here goes.
Saw came on time, undamaged and was well packaged from the manufacturer. It comes fully assembled other than the detent adjustment knob, less than 10 seconds to install. Everting in the box that’s supposed to be there. Read the instruction manual, well worth the time, very clear and concise especially on saw setup. Took less than an hour to go through the calibration process. It was virtually spot on right out of the box, I made one slight adjustment that’s it. It was 1/32 of an inch out on a 90 degree cut on A 1x12, less than a minute with on board Allen wrench, fixed. It comes with a decent 60 tooth blade, but I’ll will change it out for a 80 or 100 tooth blade.
I’m gonna say this thing is a beast, it is a substantial well engineered tool. Read some complaints about the weight, yes it is heavy, put it on the Bosch zero gravity stand, or permanently mount it in your shop, problem solved. I’ve been to a lot of job sites and the good contractors have their saws mounted on a stand. Honestly having a saw that can’t be tossed around to me is a good thing.
I will be mounting it on the Bosch stand and down the road adding the Fastcap best fence when I finish my work shop.
It probably wouldn’t be a complete review if I didn’t ding it a little. The work piece hold down does leave a little to be desired, it needs a sliding adjustment to go along with the screw down adjustment knob. Very minor in my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. Enough said.
I’m very impressed and can’t wait to put it to work.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than what I had hoped for
Style: Miter SawVerified PurchaseI had to sell my 10 inch mitre saw that I have had for decades only because I was tired of having to use a handsaw or flip materials over to finish cuts on larger pieces. After quite a bit of research I settled on the Bosch and so glad I did. even with the stock blade and after getting it all squared up and adjusted properly it I the cats meow. No more turning wood to finish a cut or substandard dust collection (mine is hooked to a vacuum) it does what I need it to do and it does it well. I did buy a good folding stand which also makes it easier to move around the shop or take outside when the weather permits

Style: Miter SawVerified PurchaseMagnífico producto, Bosch siempre es garantía, muy buen equipo y la relación costo-beneficio creo que es insuperable, el envío fue muy rápido y seguro, no tengo ninguna queja estoy muy satisfecho con este equipo, este equipo es por mucho mejor que la mayoría sobretodo por el mecanismo de movimiento que ahorra mucho espacio, sobre todo por que mi taller es muy pequeño, muy recomendable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for woodworking
Style: Miter SawVerified PurchaseCompact, lightweight, sturdy and accurate. This is lightweight (although bulky) enough to for use in work area as well as construction site. Yet, the movement is fluid and natural. This has been a time saver especially cutting 2 x 4 to headers 4 x 16+.
