Young Carpenter states, sorta:

Yes, The dewalt. Itsa beast. but solid. Set up is not bad. Probably far
superior to the Bosch (of course most would argue matter of opinion).

Well, you did say, "probably." I prefer the Bosch, but I'm talking about the
new models, not the older ones with the Rube Goldberg guards that made blade
changes a PITA.

Making a compound cut is not the easiest due in part to the large head and
blade guard (although they have seemed to make some minor changes in the
guard recently), issues most SCMS have.

You need to at least try the new Bosch 4412. Controls up front, the handle
changes from vertical to horizontal, very easy to set up.

However as I said it is solid,

So's the 4412.

If I
were you I would drop the idea of a bosch and compare it with a Makita which
would be closer to the equivalent competition.

You're actually describing 3 of the 4 best in a genre that has another couple
that are just plain damned good.

The only problem anyone is apt to have with the Bosch 4412 is the price. It IS
pricey. But none of the other 12" dual compounds are low end tools, either.
