    I went from the Bosch Axial glide to the DeWalt 60v. The DeWalt is much lighter and easier to bring job to job, even with a battery. I like the adjustments on the DeWalt better than the Bosch as well. Both are great, I'd recommend the Bosch for a shop and the DeWalt for jobsite applications.

    Interesting that the best selling battery 12" seems to be the Makita 40V XGT, unless I missed something. For the premium price and the fact that it's not in-stores and has to be ordered online, it must be getting a good reputation with finish carpenters.

  • @AB-nu5we
    @AB-nu5we 5 месяцев назад +9

    I've got the Bosch GCM12SD and it's a great saw for carpentry. And I love it for that. But, it occasionally has a small deflection when the arm is fully extended so it's not good for precision cuts. It's a known issue, and I was hoping I was lucky enough to maybe avoid the problem, but alas, I moved over to a Kapex after having to pull out the shooting board to fix a bad cut one too many times. Still (the Bosch), excellent saw.

    • @tytar1037
      @tytar1037 4 месяца назад

      Kapex is the way to go for fine furniture making. Although, it’s not really needed if you have a nice big cabinet saw. I use the Bosch in my shop but I never use it for finish cuts. My table saw does better cross cuts. I do use the Bosch to rough cut down lumber before it goes through the jointer. And the occasional miter, but those are rarely used in fine furniture because they make terrible glue joints. Unless you have a Festool Domino or other loose tenon in there.

    Woodworking Beginner: New - Update.
    This test is only if you want to saw with precision with a miter saw.(test is not intended for rough and hard work).
    Tips and Test: Read this first before you buying a miter saw! It's better to know than not to know.
    Important to know if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)!
    Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a VERTICAL line above the saw blade.
    Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade,it is much better this way the blade will not tilt.
    Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing .
    And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft.
    It is very important that everything is aligned.
    Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade.
    First option: handle vertical positioned above the saw blade.
    Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / Bosch GCM 8 SDE / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact/ Bosch PCM 8 SD / Hitachi C10FSH / Ridgid MS255SR 10-inch / Evolution Fury3-S / Evolution R255SMS / Metabo HPT C10FSBS / Hitachi C10FSB / Hitachi C10FS.
    Second optie: handle horizontal positioned above the saw blade / Evolution R185SMS / Evolution F255SMS / Evolution RAGE3R255 SMS3 .
    (This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails).
    (If you want). You can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing.
    Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood about +- 20 mm thick to this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw (the wood it will remain in place until the test is completed).
    Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand or finger on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine.
    Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing.
    (test is completed).
    Conclusion: Therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned VERTICAL in line above the saw blade.
    The second option is the handle positioned HORIZONTAL in line above the saw blade.
    Remember this, the test is only about torsion and nothing else how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing, you better not go for that. (the choices are yours).
    Also with a cheap slide miter saw it is still better the handgriff in line a above the saw blade than on the right side. Maybe they will make it someday then we have a winner...
    P.S. When you measure the vertical 90 degrees angle square (Digital Level Box) of you're sawblade don't forget that there is always some torsion in the aluminum housing..

      The pricing is mostly because it’s not made in China but in Germany where they pay a living wage. It would roughly be the same cost if made here in the U.S. That’s the trade-off. You can buy a No. 4 Lie Nielsen hand plane for $450 or a Wood River made in China for about $200. Made in America Blue Spruce chisels are bout twice what they are outside the U.S. I’m not saying this is good or bad as everyone has their own values, opinions, price point for what they can afford. I’ve got pre-war Stanley tools, Festool, U.S. made, Canada, China, Taiwan, made tools. I still don’t own a Kapex….yet. And this may be where I draw my line and go for a Bosh or Dewalt to replace my Taiwan Grizzly miter saw.
