I'm leaning towards the Bosch 5412... don't hit me too hard. LOL!


If I were to buy another it would be a toss up between the Festool and
the Bosch GCM12SD. This particular Bosch is only $164 more than the
unit you are looking at, at Amazon.

How can a 12 inch saw have a 6 1/2 inch vertical capacity? Or is
that just the distance from the bottom of the blade when it is raised?

That's jaw opening, not cutting depth.
