I have played with one of the prototypes a bit and the double-knuckle is remarkable in how rigid it is. It is also very smooth. I want to get one to review but I only do off the shelf production models so will have to wait until they get in the distribution stream later this year. I expect the real thing to be no different than the prototypes if my past experience with Bosch is any indication.

Looking forward to your review. Price is a little outside my budget, and I don't have room for one now anyway, but I'm always interested in new tool designs.

Hey Gene,

That is pretty cool, and I like the way it saves shop space by cozy-ing up next to the wall. But as impressive as power miter saws are, they are just not for me. For what they do, I have a table saw with a sliding table. Granted, it's not as convenient as the miter saw, but I can use the shop space for something else. I don't travel to job sites, so there's no need there either. For a finish carpenter, they're the best thing around, but for a small shop, I don't think so.

My 2¢,
Tom

I would love to have one but like some of you guys I just don't have the room. What I would like is one mounted in a long table so I could cut boards to an accurate length. I have made several beds and can't come up with a technique on the table saw to cut matching long pieces.

Yep. Some things are just easier the old fashioned way (handsaw).

Wayne, you misunderstood. I didn't buy one. They're not even on sale yet. Just thought y'all would be interested in the new technology Bosch was coming out with. But thanks anyway.

I think I'm the opposite of most of you. My shop is so small that I don't have room for a table saw unless I clear the garage and set it up. For me, my SCMS is the first thing I turn to. The Bosch is a really nice looking design but I suspect LOML is not going to sanction my replacing my Makita

PK, if it breaks you'd have to replace it, and then you could give us
a review!

Save space, and problem solved, just don't tell her it was my idea.......

Eric: Great minds think alike!! Please don't tell LOML that I think like someone from "the other side"

I suppose now we're going to have to come up with another acronym for this sweetheart. S(Sliding)CMS doesn't paint quite the right picture. It's one of those Ah-HA moments when you wonder why it took so long to come up with that idea.

If I had the money in the budget I would Make room for something like this. I hardly ever, well almost never use my table saw for crosscutting lumber. Do have a large sled for the TS in order to trim cabinet doors and the like but I default to the sliding chop saw for smaller stick stuff. I'd love to have my Bosch S(sliding)CMS more out of the way against the wall.

Lessee - did I buy a lottery ticket this week.....??

Hmm. How about "Articulated" CMS? I'll bet the rest of the manufacturers are kicking themselves for not having developed this first.

It is available online.

Articulated Cut Off Saw; ACOS. I like it. Lots easier to pronounce than SCMS.

Well if we do that, then the traditional saw should have a new acronym to distinquish it from the Articulated version. How about Sliding Compound Unarticulated Miter Saw - or SCUMS.

Got me scratching my head ... We're talking about a "crosscut" saw ...... I'm not sure I could afford to buy many boards wide enough to make one of those really useful. I've got a 12" Delta CMS (for the past 10 years) and it has never been taxed .... I've had to turn a board over and cut from the other side a time or two ..... Oh Well .... what do I know??
good luck,
Don
