Superb quality throughout, easy to assemble. I found the saw to be highly accurate and a delight to use (I am a homeowner using this saw for various projects). I attached the saw to a folding mobile stand to save space and that works great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe as well. However, you have to be sure the saw is securely locking in position before collapsing the stand. I've had many of the brands over the years and have come to point where I only buy Bosch, the extra money is a small price to pay for the quality and ease of use. Treat yourself to the best.
Always keep your fingers further away from the blade unless you wish to loose them! Cutting really small pieces requires the greatest care and a better technique than is being displayed here at times.
@@conradpaul6100 Ideally don’t cut small pieces on a power saw, but if doing so is unavoidable use a hold down stick to keep your hands well out of harms way should something unexpected happen with the cut.
I unpacked my new Bosch Mitre saw yesterday. So far so good The first thing I did was to remove the depth stop threaded part and replace it with a longer bolt with lock nuts (double nuts tightened against each other) and washers - I do not want the depth stop to move even slightly while I am using the machine.
I like it... especially the soft start function! It has no light, no laser, the dust is not collected well enough, the motor is not brushless or induction, but other than these it does the job correctly and accurately. It is not for longitudinal cuts, but more for perpendicular cuts. For longitudinal cuts use a table saw. I used at 45 degrees also and it is very good!
@Ralph Reilly Because it doesn't make smooth cuts, no matter what blade I put in it. The blade seems to vibrate its way through the timber. I think it is because the housing between the motor and the pivot point it not stiff enough to prevent lateral flex. My Elu PS 174 and almost identical Dewalt DS700 that I've used for the last 35 years do not have this problem and make a perfect cut with the same blades every time.
Woodworking Beginner: New - Update. This test is only if you want to saw with precision with a miter saw.(test is not intended for rough and hard work). Tips and Test: Read this first before you buying a miter saw! It's better to know than not to know. Important to know if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)! Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a VERTICAL line above the saw blade. Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade,it is much better this way the blade will not tilt. Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing . And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft. It is very important that everything is aligned. Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade. First option: handle vertical positioned above the saw blade. Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / Bosch GCM 8 SDE / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact/ Bosch PCM 8 SD / Hitachi C10FSH / Ridgid MS255SR 10-inch / Evolution Fury3-S / Evolution R255SMS / Metabo HPT C10FSBS / Hitachi C10FSB / Hitachi C10FS. Second optie: handle horizontal positioned above the saw blade / Evolution R185SMS / Evolution F255SMS / Evolution RAGE3R255 SMS3 . (This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails). (If you want). You can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing. Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood about +- 20 mm thick to this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw (the wood it will remain in place until the test is completed). Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand or finger on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine. Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing. (test is completed). Conclusion: Therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned VERTICAL in line above the saw blade. The second option is the handle positioned HORIZONTAL in line above the saw blade. Remember this, the test is only about torsion and nothing else how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing, you better not go for that. (the choices are yours). Also with a cheap slide miter saw it is still better the handgriff in line a above the saw blade than on the right side. Maybe they will make it someday then we have a winner... P.S. When you measure the vertical 90 degrees angle square (Digital Level Box) of you're sawblade don't forget that there is always some torsion in the aluminum housing.
This looks like a cheaper version of the CM8s, the one I just bought. The compound angle adjustment is now at the back on this saw and the table wings are now just rods. Weird. Why wouldn't Bosch make this a dual bevel saw in the update? This update looks like a downgrade.
Next time you make a video, it might be better to leave out the inappropriate (almost seedy porn vid) music, and instead give us a commentary of what exactly we're looking at, instead of the pointing gestures etc. This was like watching the live version of an Ikea instruction booklet 😳
Probably the best, most informative non-speaking video ever! 👍🥉
oh wow.. my sir you are lucky to have your fingers.

11:46 I'd say you had a 60% risk of losing your thumb. So congratulations on beating the odds :)
Thanks God my hand moved to the left ;)

Thanks for the info!
Advise on technique then sir
@Ralph Reilly So true, there’s virtue in working to keep one’s fingers attached to one’s hands when using power tools.
@@conradpaul6100 Ideally don’t cut small pieces on a power saw, but if doing so is unavoidable use a hold down stick to keep your hands well out of harms way should something unexpected happen with the cut.
Thanks for that great video. Super helpful!
Thanks a lot - really liked the clear visual explanation
Thank you so much for a perfect informative video!
Really good demonstration !
Hello, please tell me if the depth stop can be used, does it work or is it not very well made? Thank you 🙏
I unpacked my new Bosch Mitre saw yesterday. So far so good The first thing I did was to remove the depth stop threaded part and replace it with a longer bolt with lock nuts (double nuts tightened against each other) and washers - I do not want the depth stop to move even slightly while I am using the machine.
Hello, you like it? It's ok this table saw? I want to buy one and i don't know which model to choose, thanks
I like it... especially the soft start function! It has no light, no laser, the dust is not collected well enough, the motor is not brushless or induction, but other than these it does the job correctly and accurately.

@@furulevi thank you,
Do you still have this saw? How has it been going? I got one recently and am thinking of bringing it back.
@Ralph Reilly Because it doesn't make smooth cuts, no matter what blade I put in it. The blade seems to vibrate its way through the timber.

Cross cut up to how much mm?
Could this saw be used for cutting steel box section
I think yes, just use a saw blade for steel and don't attach a textile dust bag so it won't catch on fire because of the hot metal particles.
How wide is the base of the GCM 800 SJ?
just bought me one. thanks for video. much appreciated. can you tell me what happende when the wood flew away in one of the cuts. wrong technique?
Is the part available to make the depth stop work?
that's what I'd like to know too.
The first day in and I have already modified the arrangement with something a bit sturdier - a M4 through bolt with nuts added to and bottom
Grest video. I watched this on Saturday morning and went and bought one later. Did you figure out a solution for setting the depth of a cut ?
Just use a longer screw and a plate below.
surprised you still have your thumb and fingers

A light, a laser, better depth adjustment would be nice...
Price.
Consigo comprar essa máquina aqui no Brasil?
See in local hardware stores or online on a website.
first song is much better on 1.25 speed 😄

🤣🤣
yeah you have no idea how to operate one of these and you will break it by turning it over and bashing it
you are not professinoal bro !!! so don't touch the pro machine please because you don't know how it use...thank you
That's how we learn, by trying and doing.
@@furulevi You will learn by losing a finger, be very careful, the machine is respected partner.
