Bosch 4410L 15-Amp 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw

SKU:

Availability: Usually ships in 1 business days

This is what a miter saw ought to be: accurate, sturdy, powerful, versatile, user-friendly and packed full of cool features.
If we had to choose a favorite aspect, it would have to be the handle. It's vertical. It's horizontal. And it's a couple of other things in between. It locks quickly and easily into any of four positions, so both lefties and righties have complete comfort and control.
This saw is beefy -- it weighs in at 55 pounds and it's got a nice, wide footprint that promises the ultimate stability, and sliding extensions bring your support area to 37-1/4 inches. If you're in the market for a stand for this saw as well, we like both the Bosch TracRac as well as the DeWalt DW723.
The dual bevel is a great feature, swinging 47 degrees left and 46 degrees right, with positive bevel stops at 31.6 and 33.9 degrees for flawless crown molding cuts. For miter cuts, the blade swings an impressive 52 degrees left and 60 degrees to the right. There's even a micro-fine adjustment here, letting you override a detent by as much as 2 degrees. Now that's precision.
We absolutely love the fence on this saw - Bosch calls it a Speed-track sliding fence - because it's a full 4 inches tall and has a beautifully readable inch-scale on it. It's perfect for crown molding, handling pieces up to 6 inches wide when angled against the fence.
We're suddenly rethinking our earlier statement about our favorite feature on this saw; on second thought, it might well be that all the controls - including the bevel lever - are up front. We're pretty tired of reaching around a saw body to set a bevel, so this is a most welcome upgrade. Adjustments are so much faster and easier, and all the scales are right up front, too.
Capacities are generous, thanks to the slide, with a max cut of a 2-by-12 at a 45-degree bevel and 3-5/8 by 12 inches when the blade is upright.
And yes, this saw has a laser cutting guide, but unless you really want one, we wouldn't let that sway a decision on this saw one way or the other. It's a nice feature if you're likely to use it, but most of us woodworkers prefer to get a visual on exactly where that blade meets the wood.
In all, this is a beauty of a saw, with features you aren't going to find on other saws in its class. And we still can't pick our favorite between the handle and the up-front controls. It's all good. -- Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Great saw bad dust bag Aug 04, 2008
This is the nicest saw I have used yet, I really think if they got the dust bag to do a better job than nothing at all that this could be the best saw yet. If you plan to use it inside a home you might want to close off the door ways because the bag doesn't work if you are using t outside and it doesn't matter about the dust it is great. I am still glad I purchased the saw but I wish they would fix the bag system. I would refer this saw over the other ones out there.

Are you feeling lucky? Jul 04, 2008
Reading all these five star reviews makes me jealous. I'm a professional carpenter and there's a lot I love about this saw: the upfront controls, the table extensions that are perfecly in plane with the table, the tall sliding fences, the smooth, quiet motor... I'll never be totally happy with a saw that doesn't have those features. But I'm sure not happy with mine. It has the dreaded wavy cut syndrome. It's not caused by sloppy sliders as some reviewers have speculated. The problem is when the plane of the blade is not perfecly in line with the direction of the slide. Everything on the saw can be adjusted except that. If you get one do some test cuts on some wide stock right away. Chop it close in, then fully extended. Do you see a sawtooth in your cut? When you slide cut do you get any burn marks on the sides of the cut or a wavy cut? I did, and I took mine to a factory service center. They said the put a lot of new parts in it and checked it out but guess what. It still won't cut right. If you get a good one you'll love it, if you don't, send it back!

Bosch is the best in its class Jun 28, 2008
I just finished my first job using this super saw. Wow! Great saw. No complaints. Just some hints. 1. Don't buy it for the laser cutting guide. The laser light works but lasts 20 hours max on the batteries supplied. Throw away the band aid laser add on! It really is a worthless toy. Lesser saws have better lasers. 2. The stamped out saw blade isn't bad but get a good 60 tooth and this saw will be hard to top. 3. The dust bag lets fine dust through but gets most of the heavy stuff. 4. The blade limit stop to stop the depth of cut slips if you pull down to hard but I learned the hard way and learned to let the stop work as a guide.
The upfront bevel lock is super and it swings past 45 for those nasty out of square corner cuts. All in all this is a solid machine with a good amount of clearance to cut crown mouldings since the motor is up out of the way and the blade is belt driven. It is intimidating at first with all the gadgets and new placements of the locks and stops but very user friendly after a few hours use.

A great saw Jun 18, 2008
I had a Ridgid 10" miter saw that I thought was a good saw but it did not have the cutting capacity that I needed while remodeling the exterior of my house. After reading recommendations and reviews of miter saws in various sources I purchased this saw from Amazon. It is one of those tools which not only does what it is supposed to do but is also a pleasure to use because of the quality and features. I never thought I'd pay so much for a miter saw but am glad I did. I mounted it to a expandable mobile tool stand from Harbor Freight and couldn't be happier. It was dead on right out of the box. The difference between this saw and my old Ridgid is like day and night. The one minor complaint I have is with the clamp ---- it is very innovative and works very well but it is the compression type of clamp and I find that more often than not when I compress the clamp, my hand hits the attached protruding clamp tension adjustment knob.

a great buy! Jun 16, 2008
i did a lot of reading up on Compound Sliding Miter Saws and went with the Bosch. i was on a budget, but dont mind spending the money if i only have to do it once. the Bosch arrived on time and was in perfect shape. i spent a few hours and was pleased to find it only needed minnimal correction to make a true cut. it has plenty of power and makes a great cut in both rough lumber and fine trim. i would recommend a higher quality blade for fine trim work tho. i am very pleased with Bosch on this one!
