Bosch sliding mitre saws

[gardenshed]

I'm looking at either the BOSCH GCM12SD or the BOSCH GCM10SD, do any forum members have any
of these saws, any views & opinions would be appreciated.

I've seen a couple of deals inc legstands for both machines, I quess they are both heavy to lug around. Are they accurate and reaonably quiet. is the GCM12SD worth the extra £100+ etc.

Thanks in advaance.

I've had the 8" version and leg stands for a few years and wouldnt be without it
The laser power supply gave up after a few years
and I broke the back fence when some alloy section i was cutting grabbed and broke the casting...its very thin in the middle

They are not what I would call quiet but can be set up very accurately
I dont consider it to be overly heavy the saw and leg stands seperate easily and quickly
Certainly I would consider it to be a quality bit of kit
If I lost it tommorow I would replace with the same
