Powerful Motor and Versatile Cutting Capacity
The 5412L's heavy-duty 15 Amp, 3 HP motor spins the 12-inch blade at up to 3,800 RPM for smooth, easy cuts. The 25-1/2 inch aluminum base incorporates the industry's only integrated material supports extending to 40 inches in total length for handling extra-large stock, and the 4-1/2-inch speed-track sliding fence allows for increased crown molding cutting capacities. The saw is equipped with a fast-acting electric brake, which stops the blade within seconds for quick and easy repetitive cuts.Up-Front Controls Keep You in Command
With its up-front, easy-to-reach bevel-angle controls, the 5412L lets you make adjustments efficiently without having to reach around to the back of the saw. And with the saw's innovative, four-position handle, you'll experience ergonomic comfort for even more effective performance. Innovative Features Offer Superior Precision, Long-Lasting Consistency
You can count on the 5412L to get the job done with a superior level of precision, with the help of its arbor-mounted laser tracking system. This tool provides sharply accurate laser lines for precise cutting. Bosch's exclusive Wedge-and-Slot Miter Detent System is cast into the base to enable consistent and precise miter cuts throughout the long life of the saw. The 5412L offers 10 detents, 47 degree bevels to the left and right, bevel stops at 0.00, 33.9, and 45.0 degrees (left and right), and convenient crown molding stops at 31.6 degrees when stock is laying flat. And the 12 inch blade offers increased cutting capacities over standard 10 inch miter saws. The Bosch 5412L Sliding Miter Saw measures 20 inches tall, has a one-inch arbor, and weighs in at a sturdy 59 pounds. It is backed by Bosch's one-year limited warranty, 30-day money back guarantee, and one-year service protection plan. What's in the Box

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very good to excellent saw
Comment: I have been using this saw for about two years now and have found it to be excellent. (Very good when using the stock blade, excellent when using a Forrest Chopmaster) The highlights and lowlights, in my opinion:
Pros:
* Accurate, when set up properly, taken care of, and checked
* Strong and powerful - fine enough for finish carpentry, but it will happily power through 4 x 10 lumber as well
* Excellent controls - Bevel adjustments up front are excellent, indents are solid, and the ability to change handle position is great
* Features - The adjustable fence works well and the extensions work reasonably well, too, if you are using it without a stand
Cons:
* Dust bag - Worthless. No, really.
* Arbor mounted laser - works as it should, but I've always preferred to sight my own lines anyway. It comes on only when the blade is spinning... and do you really want to adjust your work at that point?
* Safety guard - Works well, but it is a pain to hold back with your hand on the trigger. OK, you probably shouldn't, but there are times...
* It's heavy - at least to me. Though over time, I've come to appreciate the durability after knocking it about.
I've read some reviews that call this tool a complete lemon. Mere hyperbole, that. Some tools will fail, or come out of adjustment, that's a fact. This is a professional-grade tool that will give excellent results, just as many other excellent tools out there, from DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, and others. I've used many, and chose this one. I have not been disappointed. It is reliable, strong, accurate and capable. I have used it for hardwood flooring, cabinetry, crown moulding and baseboard moulding; I have used it for cutting 4 x 10 framing timbers and for fine, compound miter cuts on stain-grade trim and have never found it lacking.
It is a brute, though. It usually lives on a Bosch TracRac, which works quite well. It would do better on a gravity rise stand, however; heavy and cumbersome, mine would probably get bumped around less if it was on the gravity rise stand than having to heft it up onto the TracRac and down again regularly.
Once set up, it has proven to be accurate and maintain that accuracy over time. I have not experienced sloppy indents or misaligned cuts, as others have, despite daily use and frequent transport.
The Cons above are minor, in my opinion. Leave the dust bag off- it's really that bad, almost funnily so. The blade that comes with it is not really that bad- it is adequate. But the Forrest blades really are the way to go, in my opinion, as they are so superior. (but can you really knock the machine for the blade that comes with it? Ever put better tires on your car than what it came with?)

Summary: Perfect Saw
Comment: I was kinda hesitant on buying this saw due to some of the reviews I have read. I finally decided to buy it and have been using it for about 3 months. I am SUPER PLEASED! The saw cuts everything I put to it. I am a finish carpenter but do a little bit of everything from time to time. This saw blows the dewalt out of the water without question. The front bevel is in the best place imaginable and is a pleasure to use. There is a miter lock bypass that is good for something I guess, I have had no need for it. The stop on the table extention is excellent for cutting small repetetive panel moulds and other small pieces. Some people say they had a problem with the saw being out of square when they received it but I had no problems with it. Love this saw and would recommend it to anyone.
I also purchased the gravity rise stand and am pleased with the ease of operation, but, I drive a large box truck and this stand would be bulky in a pickup or van. Also the extentions are a little short for 16 foot material and longer crowns and wide casings.

Summary: Hate that it disappeared, glad its gone.
Comment: One thing I'd wished I'd known before I bought the saw was that it won't cut 5.25 speedbase upright. After thinking about this some, I realized that its heavier and more expensive than the 10in saw, but no more useful.
Bought the saw to build my personal house. Loved the features such as the up front controls, included clamp, and side extensions, but I always had problems getting it set to perfect square in any axis. Even when it was set as close to correct as possible, the blade would not cut strait up and down. The scale was not precise in any direction, but after practice I got it to work. It worked great during framing because it would cut through any width I was using and the laser was close enough to within about 1/8in. It got stolen at about 3/4 the way through the trim portion of the house and I replaced it with the new Milwalkee. At that point I realized how bad it really was.

Summary: dissappointed!
Comment: I received this Bosche product in a timely manner from Amazon/Take Tool International.
However, it required extensive adjustment out of the box and the directions suggest using tools that came with the saw. They were inadequate for the job.
Also, the laser sent was not new.
- Changing the blade (or installing the laser) is very difficult. The blade stop did not work properly and having to hold the shield out of the way was a pain.
- the laser did not work well for me. Very hard to see, only accurate to about a 1/16 inch. Have to run the saw to use it - dangerous to try to adjust the workpiece with one hand while running the saw over it with the other! Seems a foolish thing to do.
- The hold down tool provided is cumbersome, but works and is useable if you have three hands.
- Dust collector is worthless.
- Cuts were not very clean, but that could be a poor quality blade.
_ I was going to take advantage of Amazon's return policy, but found it would cost me $93 to ship it. I don't consider that much of a benefit, and will hesitate to purchase any other large item on line. I'll sell this locally and lose the $93 here.
