Upgraded 1600 W motor for fast work progress:
Bosch: Integrated soft-start module: provides smooth start-up and reduces chance of blowing circuit fuse at start-up and when used on long extension cables or transformers.
Two point dust extraction: Enables better chip collection especially during slide cuts - Directly into the integral dust bag on the machine and/or using an all-purpose dust extractor.
How does the 2 point dust extraction work on the GCMSJL Mitre Saw
Extraction (1) is fixed and collects dust and collects chips as blade slides to the rear during cutting.
Extraction (2) moves with the blade and collects chips during slide cuts.
To optimize dust collection both points work together for best collection of chips while cutting

Customer reviews
Saw easy to use, precise, solid. The laser is reliable, the most used cutting angles and "notched" can be adjusted, the instructions for use is understandable. Excellent product, which I recommend without hesitation.
I'm looking for quality when I buy tools, I'm not disappointed. The cuts are precise, the blade delivered with the machine is well made. The only criticism is that the machine is a little noisy at start-up and the lens of the laser gets clogged quite quickly with sawdust
Robust, handy saw with a very fast grip. Good quality, functional. However, I took a trample in addition to the saw that allows use at height and comfort of work.
I have 2 hours of experience, so I can not talk a lot about it. I am at the beginning of my retirement and I intend to tinker a lot, so I made this investment, because it is one. I must also admit that it is to make me a little pleasure despite its price. In any case, we must think carefully before investing (how many hours will I use over a year?) And maybe buy one to many (family, friends ..) In terms of small defects (already reported on other sites: the setting and operation of the laser is ... say perfectible (I think that's how they say)
Super product from the bosch pro brand, I am very satisfied.
