Thank you for taking the time to do those measurements for me. It
looks like it is too deep at 25" so I will likely go with the Makita
LS1013 or stay with my Radial arm saw a bit longer. From what I could
see of the specs on the 4410 it looked like a fine saw. The German
engineering always seems to impress me. The 3915 was a nice saw too
but only single bevel design and it also was a bit too deep at over
23" . The 3915 however did use a single slider bearing on one side
with what appeared to be a delrin bushing on the other side. That
part I was not crazy about. The Makita did use linear ball bearings
on both tubes. The thing was just a bit wobbly for my tastes and it
seemed mainly to be because the slide bars were fully extended when
the saw was all the way back which seemed backward from what the saw
needs to be. Just my musings. Again - thanks a bunch.

The distance from the fence to the end of the rails with the saw all of the
way back is approximately 25". The distance from the front of the base to
the back of the rails is approx 31". The width without the fences or the
extensions extended is 23" plus an inch or so for the knob to hold the
"stop". This knob (or the extensions themselves) can be removed.

I am thinking of using this saw to replace my seldom used radial arm
saw. I want to keep my long fence and cabinet that is built into my
shop. If you have this saw could you tell me the distance from the
front of the fence to the most rearward part of the saw when the slide
is all the way back. I have a wall that is 15 inches from the fence
and I need to see if I can cut a pocket in that wall to accomodate the
slide of this saw. I can't go very deep with this pocket because the
wall is an outside wall of my shop. Also how wide the base of the
4410 is when all fences are set to narrowest position. No info of
this kind on any document by Bosch. Thanks.
