CROWN KING
Purchased saw to install all new oak trim in my home which has many, many compound miters. Out of the box, no adjustment...absolutly perfect accuracy...pays to buy the best, and BOSCH is it.

Great saw, great service
After a lot or research, I purchased this saw from CPO through Amazon. It was shipped the same day that I ordered and I got it in 3 days. Out of the box it was within .2 degrees in all settings. I took the time to make the adjustments and now it is dead on and I know a little more about the saw. The only problem I had was registering the saw online. I called Bosch and they took care of the regisration in about 2 minutes. This is a quality miter saw that does what it is made for. Now I get perfect picture frame every time. Amazons review about this saw is dead on. If you are going to be doing finish work, I recomend you get a good quality 80tooth blade to replace the one comes with the saw. But that is with every miter saw on the market.

Unuseable unrepareable out of box
This is the worst mitre saw I've ever bought to date at least a dozen of various makes. We set up the saw on one of our chop saw benches and discovered that it had 2 defects that made the saw unuseable. 1] the main articulation that moves when you cut had at least 1 to 1.5 degrees of play. 2] the notches that control angle of cut would not click in, so when you tightened the locking handle it would rack off angle 2-4 degrees.
Bottom line an unuseable saw. How does a manufacturer come up with two such defects? Being a student of quality manufacturing I can tell you that if you have so much variability in your manufacturing process that you come up with two defects this big, you are in BIG trouble. I had always had good luck with Bosh tools, and my guys wanted this saw when the Makita gave up after years of service in our custom cabinet shop. Of course it's going back, and we just repaired the Makita.

Bosch 4212L - Excellent except, it doesn't run
I bought this saw about a year ago. Made about 100 cuts, saw was working as I had expected until it started tripping breakers (20 amp) last month. I've swapped breakers two times, all breakers trip as soon as the saw is started.

Very Nice Saw
This is my second Bosch saw. The first one was mounted to my workbench and was turned o it side. The stops were damaged in it. There was no question what saw I would replace it with. I did a search for the merchant that gave the best deal on this saw. It's very easy and accurate straight out of the box. I made no adjustments and cut perfect 45's. The dust collection bag still doesn't do much good, but what miter saw has a dust collection bag that works? If you need a miter saw that is easy to use, accurate and stays that way, this is the best for the price. I would definately by this one again!
