Default Miter Saw Upgrade - I Should Have Looked Before I Leaped

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: 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.

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

The plastic "cap" on the 12" Bosch comes off with 2 screws and the lamp fits
underneath it. The lamp sits on top of the aluminum casing. You just
need to open up the front of the plastic cap a little so that it can sit
back down on the saw's body in its original position, encasing the lamp.

The lamp has to go under the cap in order for the blade guard to clear it.

On my 10" there is no plastic "cap". That "cap" on my saw is part of the
aluminum housing itself. There is nothing that can be removed.

I'm not about to cut into the body of my $600 saw to mount a $7 lamp.

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.

I have a laser similar to an Oshlun Miter And Portable Saw Laser
Guide, LG-M01 on my Delta "10. Price I saw at online Walmart was
$26.66.

It will distort threw the blade guard, but works once you move the
saw.

As long as it will fit in there (and I'd bet the dimensions are the
same), all it would take would be a couple drilled/tapped holes to use
to mount a bracket and an exit for the power feed. If you used one of
the battery-powered ones, wouldn't need the last.

That's a bet you'd lose.

The OD of the lamp is 15/16". The ID of the "cap" opening is 23/32".

Maybe the *OD* of the caps on the 10" and the 12" are the same, but the plastic
cap on the 12" has much thinner walls than the body of my saw. Plus they
probably give a little.

Did you not think I checked that before I posted that it wouldn't work? If
it would have fit, I'd have posted pictures of the final result instead. ;-)

Yep. The lamp has been removed from the vicinity of my saw. Didn't require any
tools and very little energy.

Why do you need to use the same lamp? There are many light sources of
size and shape which could be modified to fit on your saw.

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.

Understood and read that but that's no reason to have to stick with it
when you realize it won't work. I can't imagine it being that expensive
and could be used for a future project.

You don't have to imagine how inexpensive it is. I have stated at least
3 times how much it cost.

obviously he should just reshape the lamp


Understood and read that but that's no reason to have to stick with it
when you realize it won't work.

Who said anyone was planning on sticking with it?

I can't imagine it being that expensive and could be used for a future
project.

What "it" are you referring to?


The light/lamp.

You don't have to imagine how inexpensive it is. I have stated at least
3 times how much it cost.


at ~$7, hardly a leap...
I wish that's all each my faux pas ended up costing me

Why do you need to use the same lamp? There are many light sources of
size and shape which could be modified to fit on your saw.

Well, he doesn't. But he already purchased it after watching the video
thinking it would work. See subject.

All the more reason to not have to stick with it if it doesn't work. So
what's the problem?

You see, that's the thing. You appear to be only one that thinks that I had
considered, even for half a second, to stick with it.

As Eli The Bearded so rightly said "See subject"

The entire point of this thread was simply to point out, in a lighthearted
manner, that I didn't look at my specific model of saw and incorrectly assumed
that if the 12" model had a plastic cap, the 10" model had one too.

If I had walked down to my shop ("I should have looked") instead of surfing
over to Amazon to buy the lamp ("before I leaped"), this thread never would
have been posted.

Moving on...
