I saw this posted on another forum, new Bosch miter saw. Check out the Axial Glide System.

Great design, but looks a beast to carry from job to job

Lots of engineering in that arm, pretty  cool.  Will it hold up as long as slides, and is it accurate? 

 

[tallgrass]

so has anyone seen it for sale?

Looks mint arms design but I looks like its added a lot of weight to the chop saw.

The 12" it replaces weighed about 14 pounds more. [eek]

So I came home with a new Bosch glider today. I looked at review after review and found there to be only one possible major problem, it seems many people that ordered the saws delivered to their house had them arrive with a bent table or fence due to poor packaging. But everyone said Bosch was very quick to replace the saw at no cost to them, after their saw was replaced they went on to say it was the best one ever but needed a laser which I thought I could add easy. Mine came perfectly square and undamaged. I'll post some more about it when I get some more blade time in.

Bosch is a good company with good products and YES, we've got Penguins.  [smile]

I will never find out how good they might be. I was considering one for my use in my shop. I went to a woodworking show in January to see the glider in person. I waited while the Bosch rep showed someone else the saw.   
After they finished, I stepped up to take a close look at the saw & ask some questions. The rep looked up & saw that I had a Festool hat on.
After he saw the Festool hat, he just walked away. He went to the other end of the booth & chatted with other Bosch reps. I spent a few minutes looking at the saw by myself. No one else offered to  help.
It might be a nice saw for shop use, way to heavy to move to a jobsite. But after being treated the way I was by the Bosch people, I will never own one.  I will keep my Dewalt until I can get a Kapex sometime in the future.

Sort of like walking into a Ford dealership sporting Ferrari apparel...  [big grin]

Hi Chris, the deadbeat reps are certainly to  found working for all companies.  I ended up with Tom Bellemare because the local WC guys had no interest in helping decipher what the tools were in the catalog and which ones (and the attachments) that I could use for our work.  Then, I tried the  local Festool rep,  who we met a local lumber yard demo day,  and we all but threw the credit card at him to get some tools in the truck--again, no interest.  I even called him at home (he gave me the number) to follow up, and he said "I'll call you back"-never heard from him.

Our former Bosch rep was pretty good.  I bought about a dozen tools from him (through my plumbing supplier), but then he left the company and Bosch hasn't replaced him and BOsch corporate won't even return the phone calls placed by my salesman in the plumbing supply house.  So, I ended up buying some Makita tools as alternates for the Bosch tools I wanted.

I've concluded that the recession wasn't as severe as many said it was, because there were too many businesses with stuff to sell which didn't take selling seriously.
