Product Description: 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 What's in the Box

Customer Reviews
WOW
yes WOW. I love this saw. A great price and what a saw. It is the best miter saw I have ever owned. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I am not a contractor. Just a guy that does a lot of woodworking. It makes your job so much easier and nicer when you have good tools. This is a good one.

really an excellent professional saw
First off about me...I renovate victorians for a living. We do framing to finish. I wanted a saw that would hold up wel to job site work but still be able to handle finish crown. I have a Dewalt 12 inch dual and wanted a table with slide capability. I am not brand loyal but rather look for a saw with the features I need and like.
I love this saw...and will save you from reviewing all its features but do wish to highlight the great...and the annoying.
Highlights:
Handle swivel (I don't love or need it but my help likes it.)
fence- love it...height, the hold down that come with it (dewalt makes you buy them)
front table handle- love the size, location, and easy adjustments
slide- smooth, straight, sturdy
OK so the BAD:
the laser- is annoying as it is onesided...I prefer line lasers that cover the material removed (but this is personal) the laser is acurate and the batteries last 3 months or so with daily use
The side exstensions- work well for light material but overloaded by framing...we use a mobile table so its not an issue for us but I have heard others that table set this complain so...?
the bevel- I have to say the weight distribution is high and this can make setting the bevel akward. The dewalts are a bit easier to set in this reguard.
BOTTOM LINE: I could have bought any saw and I bought this one. I've used all of them so I bought it knowing what I was getting...and I use this one every day. It does have flaws...but they are minor and adaptable. And the smooth, straight, accurate cuts, fantastic fence,included laser, handle setup, table size, and hold downs more than make up for them.
PS: I have heard some complain about long term issues with accuracy...I have had no issues ...but I clean my saw at the end of each day with an air hose and tighten and check my settings before each cut. I believe that any issues have to go back to how you set up, handle, transport, and maintain your saw.

No receipt due to supposed Amazon agreement dispute
Zero stars is more appropriate: I did not receive the Bosch 5412L 12" Sliding Compound Miter saw because the seller claimed that Amazon agreed to a standard delivery cost but after the sale changed shipping cost from $43 to $150+

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.

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...
