I have a question…and I hope I am not splitting hairs here. However, I could think of no better place to ask this than here.
This past week my nephew bought me a Bosch 5312 SCMS (he is now my favorite nephew by the way). The question I have is this…as I was researching my saw, I came across Bosch’s new GCM12SD Glider. Do you think that the advantages to the new saw make it that much better? I have never owned a slider before, but I have always heard that the slider mechanism had a tendency to get sloppy over time (regardless of the brand). Lowes (where it was purchased) has already told me that they would take the saw back and put it toward the new GCM12SD and I would (of course) pay the difference. But is it worth the extra $200 bucks (or is it because it is just new and cool)?
Decisions, decisions…
(And, yes…in case you’re wondering…this is a gloat.) ;)
