I just took a look at one of these. Neat! Instead of sliding along a
couple of bars, the miter saw glides very smoothly along articulating
joints. Pushing the blade cartridge sideways didn't seem to have any
effect, unlike my Kobalt which deflects a bit under just a little sideways
pressure. (My first thought was "I bet that eliminates that problem.")

I wasn't able to get the tilt controls to work, but since it was a store
demo that I was just looking at, I didn't try too hard. They're located on
the front of the saw instead of somewhere on the back.

It looked like the motor was belt driven, so it should be very quiet.
Interestingly, the blade guard has wheels on the front which means it will
slide along the work. This allowed the guard to be all the way down on the
table while moving the blade.

Where have you been?
That's been out 4 - 5 years I think.
The 10" just came out too.

The reviews are mixed... nice saw, but some people WERE having problems
with a dead on cut. The saw was not perfectly perp.. They said there was
some twisting or drifting going on, and bosch told them it was not
adjustable, which does seem odd. seems like there should be some cam of
the bearing holders to align it.
