I have the 10" version of the Bosch Glide miter saw. The guy from the
makeeverythingshop.com website has the 12" model.

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:

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.

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


The battery of my laser light doesn't last very long. It becomes a pain
to change it often. I like the light idea to avoid that.


Mine has been in it for ten years, still works.
