Score: 84/100Rankings
The Bosch CM10GD is a high-performance 10-inch dual-bevel sliding miter saw featuring a unique Axial-Glide system for compact storage and precise cutting. While it offers robust power and durability, its heavy weight and lack of lighting features are notable trade-offs. It is best suited for professional woodworkers in small shops who prioritize precision over portability.
The DEWALT DWS716 is a 15 Amp, 12-inch double-bevel compound miter saw designed for precision trim and molding work. It features a powerful 3,800 RPM motor, stainless-steel detent plate, and tall fences to support large molding profiles. This non-sliding model prioritizes portability and accuracy over the wide-lumber cutting capacity of sliding variants.
