Bosch has recently come out with a new cordless miter saw the Bosch GCM18V-08N 18V 8-1/2″ Single Bevel Slide Miter Saw.
Bosch’s latest 18V cordless miter saw features an 8-1/2″ blade which is not quite as nice as would a 10 incher or 12 incher would be but at least it’s larger than a 7-1/4″ blade. It does provide a brushless motor so should provide strong performance and runtime. Runtime is said to be up to 377 cuts with a 12.o ah battery.
As a slider it provides a 10-5/8″ crosscut capacity. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles or the best ones at that as it can only bevel to the left up to 45 degrees. Miter range is 47 degrees right and left, is still using lasers for cut lines instead of LED shadow lines and the miter lock is via twist knob instead of the flip down cam lock of modern miter saws. It does at least come with extensions and a material clamp. Still not a bad saw as it’s well featured to get the job done and being a Bosch, you know it’s solid.
A big thanks to Cody Robertson for spotting!
