Bosch 5412L 12-Inch Dual Bevel Slide Miter Saw with Laser Tracking The Robert Bosch Tool Corporation enjoys a well-earned reputation for producing high-quality, well-engineered power tools. And we’re glad to report that the new Bosch 5412L 12-inch dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw is no exception. This remarkable tool combines unrivaled speed and power with impressive cutting capabilities. It’s also loaded with several innovative, user-friendly features, such as a laser that indicates exactly where the blade will cut. So, whether you’re a professional contractor or a serious do-it-yourselfer, the 5412L will handle virtually any cut, including square crosscuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts and compound angle cuts. In fact, the only type of cut this saw can’t make is a rip cut, but that’s true of any power miter saw.
The saw’s large 12-inch blade, powerful 3-horsepower motor and dual slide rail permits crosscutting boards up to 4-1/2 inches thick by 12 inches long. When set for a 45-degree miter-cut, it’ll cut up to 4 inches thick by 8-1/2 inches long. At a 45-degree bevel, the saw’s capacity is 2-3/4 inches by 12 inches. And when you set both the miter and bevel angles for a compound cut, the saw will cut up to 2-3/4 inches by 8-1/2 inches. This is the ideal tool for installing crown molding. It’ll cut crown up to 12 inches wide when the molding is laid flat on the worktable, and up to 6 inches wide when it’s held at an angle against the saw fence.
The 5412L also features convenient up-front adjustments of all bevel and miter settings, a four-position handle, work hold-down clamps, two sliding fences, dust-collection bag, and built-in sliding extensions that support boards up to 40 inches long. The motor is equipped with an electric brake that stops the blade within a split second of releasing the trigger. At 59 pounds, this isn’t the most portable miter saw on the market, but that small drawback is more than compensated by this tool’s superior performance and innovative features. — Joseph Truini

Customer Review: Great Tool
I love this saw. I bought thru Amazon approx 2 years ago. It’s powerful and easy to use. The Bosch stand is a worthwhile addition.
Customer Review: Impressive and Solid
I’m a do it yourselfer (intermediate) and have been recently upgrading all of my tools to Bosch, Hitachi and Makita. I sprung for the Bosch 5412L 12″ , its “brother” miter table the Bosch TracRac, and it’s second cousin the Bosch Digital Protractor DWM40LK. Shipping arrived on time and free, no problems at all. My first words when I opened the box was “WOW”, this is a serious tool (at least it looks like it is worth $600 big ones). There is nothing to getting the Miter saw setup, but the table takes a beginner like me about an hour to get setup and the saw in place. Make sure and hold the arbor button in and KEEP turning the wheel until it catches (laughing at myself). Trust me, get the Bosch miter table and the crown molding accessories as they make my life so much easier cutting crown molding for my new kitchen cabinets. I purchased a Forrest Chopmaster blade because of the good reviews and I needed something to make perfect cuts as the crown molding I purchased was expensive. Using the Bosch digital protractor, I easily get my Miter angle and Bevel angle and turn the dials on the saw and whammo, perfect cuts. I have a lot of crown molding (with a 38 degree spring angle) to put up and saved so much money buying the equipment and doing this myself. I am not a professional by any means, so in summary: Bosch 12″ Miter saw perfect 10/10, Bosch Digital Protractor 10/10, and Bosch Miter table 9.5/10 because they forgot two washers and didn’t supply enough pictures for D.A.’s like me, but once you set it up, we r talking a serious, serious cutting machine. Oh yeah, this can easily be set up by yourself but you may want to bribe a friend when attaching it to the stand…
