Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 4410 10-Inch Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw

Customer Review: Best saw ever.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my third miter saw...first sliding. This is a precision piece of equipment and is excellent and accurate enough to make furniture. I'm only a weekend warrior, but have handled several lesser quality saws. This one takes the cake for sure.

Customer Review: Not a professional tool
Summary: 2 Stars

This saw is not a good tool in my opinion. It has some good ideas but not implemented well. First it is way too bulky for a 10" saw. Second, I find the handle to be very non-intuative as well as the front mounted bevel controls. Third I was very surprised by the "laser" - it is a battery operated laser in a washer, exactly like the ones you can add to any saw - available at Home Depot. Except this one makes the line 1/32" from the actual cut. My Hitachi saw has it's own laser built in that is totally adjustable to either side of the blade and is easy to set up accurately. It also comes on without the blade spinning so that you can mark a board at any angle and match the angle of the saw to it perfectly with out the blade on. With the Bosch, the saw needs to be spinning for the laser to work. Fourth, the saw has too much movement when the rail is extended all the way even with a really good blade (the blade that comes with the saw needs to be recycled before use!). I wasted over 600 dollars on this saw which would have paid for almost half of the cost of a Festool Kapex - the only really good miter saw out there. Don't waste your money on this Bosch, if you can't afford a Festool stick with the next best - Hitachi.

Customer Review: Wish I hadn't spent the money
Summary: 2 Stars

I was excited about this saw when it first arrived, and it worked well until the warranty expired. When it went out of square, the autorized repair shop, with direction from Bosch, quoted over $350 to fix and said even that might not do it. They said it had been dropped or run over by a truck, both of which would be difficult since the saw had been on a stand since it was new. The shop recommended the Makita which surprisingly is made in America. I won't be looking to Bosch for quality equipment.

Customer Review: Great Saw at a Great Price
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are like me, you do alot of reaserch before purchasing ANY product.

Let me start off by saying this, I have been a carpenter for over 20 years now and I have used plenty of power tools in my time. I would choose a product by Milwaukee over all others. I have purchased a good amount of Bosch tools in the past few years and my choice has been swayed from Milwaukee to Bosch. Don't get me wrong, Milwaukee makes fabulous power tools, durable and reliable, but the tools I have purchased from Bosch seem to have the same quality's I liked from Milwaukee but have some more thought put into the design of their tools.

This saw was perfect right out of the box. I went to calibrate it and everything was right on the money, bevels, miters and straight cuts. The design is SOOOO SWEET!! The bevel lock is right up front where it should be rather than behind the saw as all others are. They have conveniently placed any wrench needed for adjustment of this saw into the back of the saw in a hideaway compartment where the other brands put the bevel lock. I like the micro adjustment it has to fine tune the miter angle if I need an angle just off of the norm. The built in extention arms are a great feature that other manufacturers will make you buy seperate (although roller stands are essential for long lumber or trim) and the angles I can cut are greater than the 45 degree angles you will get on most saws (50 degrees left miter, 60 degrees right miter, 47 degrees left bevel and 46+ degrees right bevel). The workpiece clamp is one of the best I have seen on any jobsite mitersaw I have ever used. The only thing I didn't like on this saw was that if you set the bevel to the right more than 30 degrees, the saw won't cut all the way through lumber or trim unless you placed some scrap 2by lumber under whatever you are cutting, the beltdrive housing hits the fence even when the fence is in the extended position. Of course if anyone is familiar with cutting miters and bevels on a single bevel saw, any miters and bevels can be made on the left side of the saw to avoid using 2by lumber under the workpiece easily. If anyone isn't familiar with that procedure....practice man, I had to before I had a dual bevel saw :). (It is a little bit of an inconvenience at times but not hard to accomplish.)

All the same, this saw rates 5 stars in my book. This saw should make ANYONE satisfied that purchases it. Take it from me, Big D.
