Unmatched Precision and Space-Saving Design with the Bosch Axial-Glide System

Revolutionize your workshop workflow with the Bosch GCM12SD 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw. Unlike traditional sliding miter saws that require ample room behind the tool for rail clearance, the GCM12SD features the patented Axial-Glide system. This articulated arm design not only provides a compact footprint, allowing you to place the saw flush against a wall, but also delivers incredibly smooth cross-cuts and wider cutting capacity. Powered by a robust 15 Amp motor delivering 4,000 RPM, this saw powers through dimensional lumber, hard woods, and thick molding with ease, ensuring a clean, accurate finish every time.

Engineered for the professional carpenter and serious woodworker, this saw prioritizes accuracy and ease of use. It features upfront bevel controls, eliminating the need to reach behind the saw to make adjustments, and an all-metal bevel lock lever for security. The SquareLock quick-release fences provide superior material support and align 90 degrees to the table without adjustment. With class-leading dust collection capable of capturing 90% of dust when paired with a vacuum, and ergonomic ambidextrous handles, the Bosch GCM12SD ensures your workspace stays clean and your cuts stay precise throughout the longest workdays.

Key Features

  • Axial-Glide System: Patented arm design offers wider cross-cuts and saves up to 12 inches of workspace by eliminating rear rails.
  • Upfront Controls: All-metal bevel lock lever and range selector are located at the front for quick and easy settings without reaching behind the saw.
  • Expanded Capacity: Offers a massive 14-inch horizontal cutting capacity and 6-1/2-inch vertical capacity for baseboard against the fence.
  • Precision Alignment: Pre-aligned SquareLock fences maintain permanent 90-degree straightness and include one-touch lock/unlock sliding.
  • Superior Dust Control: Optimized dust chute and vacuum adapter capture up to 90% of sawdust for a cleaner, safer work environment.
  • Adjustable Detents: Features distinct miter detents at common angles (0°, 15°, 31.6°, 22.5°, 45°, 60°) with a push-button override for fine-tuning.
  • User Comfort: Equipped with a large, form-fitting ergonomic trigger handle with a soft grip for ambidextrous use.
  • Integrated Extensions: Base extensions slide out to provide 40 inches of left-to-right material support for long workpieces.

Pro Tip:

The beauty of the Axial-Glide system is that it has no rear slide rails, meaning you can place this saw directly against a shop wall or right at the edge of a workbench without losing cutting capacity. To maximize accuracy, periodically check the tension on the glide arm using the adjustment bolt to ensure it remains silky smooth without being too loose.
