Bosch Gcm12Sd Mitre Saw - New Technology in Tools

Let's take a close look at the Bosch Gcm12Sd mitre saw and the new technology it brings to power tools.

New Axial Glide System

Miter Saw Blades Slide

This saw uses something called the axial glide system. What this means is that instead of the typical sliding arms, there are two articulating arms that carry the head where the blade is. Each of these arms moves independently creating a level movement when using the saw.

These arms are created from cast aluminum which is extremely durable and rigid.

Reduced footprint

Because of these arms, a situation is created where the back of the saw does not stick out at the back. When there is nothing sticking out, the distance from the back of the saw to the front is minimized, creating a smaller footprint while still having a saw with wide cutting capacity.

Enclosed bearings

The bearings that the arms rotate on are enclosed, which means no dust will penetrate them. In contrast, a typical sliding mitre saw's rails are exposed to the elements which allow them to get dust. This can want further lubrication while the life of the saw.

New Technology is not ready on smaller versions of the mitre saw

The Bosch Gcm12Sd mitre saw axial glide principles is not ready on a 10 inch saw, only a 12 inch. This may turn as the engineers recognize new ways to implement this technology into a smaller package.

Safety features

The protection features are reasonable, especially when beginning the saw. You must first depress a switch and hold it before pulling the blade start handle. All other regular protection features you would expect from a aggregate mitre saw are present as well, along with attaching the dust exhaust to an external vacuum if you have one in your shop. The Bosch Cgm12Sd mitre saw does not throw a lot of dust which is a technical feat in itself, but still, having a vacuum minimizes inhaling dust particles.

For left handed individuals

Fortunately, this saw can be used with both left and right handed individuals. As well, the handle can be rotated from a horizontal to a vertical position.

Resistant to wear and calibration

With the axial glide principles in place of the traditional rail system, it eliminates sliding rail wear. Also, because there are no rails, you will not have to calibrate the rails.

The trademarked quadrate lock fences are precision aligned at 90 degree angles and don't need any adjustments. You can slide each fence into position to align your material easily.
