I have the 10" version of the Bosch Glide miter saw. The guy from the

I watched his video on how to add an LED lamp to create a shadow line on
the work piece that shows exactly where the blade will cut. How cool!

He's says under $20, the lamp was actually under $7. Even cooler!

At about 2:35 of his video (below) he points out the plastic piece that needs
to be removed and modified so that the lamp can be mounted directly in line
with the blade. Simple enough.

Alright, I'm going to do this. I ordered the lamp, it shows up today and I
head down to the shop.

Here's the part that needs to be modified: https://i.imgur.com/9hlAFjn.jpg

Here's what my saw looks like: https://i.imgur.com/1KKYfCP.jpg

Oh well, I'm sure I'll find another use for the lamp.

Good luck with that. I of course have the Kapex with dual laser. I
still prefer the zero clearance insert for a reference.

In most cases I use the gap in the zero clearance fence as my guide. The
lamp would mainly be used for the random angled cut, like the one for center
divider in the scrap bin I made. The angle was marked via measurements on the
cutting diagram, so the shadow line would be an easy way to set the saw to match. (That's actually how I found out about the mod. The scrap cart guy
mentioned it in the build video so I took a look at the vid he made when he
installed the lamp. Same guy)


But then again, I use stops for accurate repeated cuts.

Same here, but as I said, the shadow line could be useful at times, just
like your dual lasers probably are. For $7 it was worth a try, but alas, it
won't work on my saw.
