I bought a Bosch GCM12SD last weekend after a couple of weeks research on trying to find a miter saw that didn’t need clearance behind it for the guide rails to try and save some room in my two car garage shop. I finally got it out of the box and setup last night, blade is flat and perpendicular to the bed and rails so I made a few test cuts with it last night. Here are the results:
343424
343425
With these being less than ideal I checked the runout on the blade, it’s anywhere from +.009 to -.004. Like I said I checked the blade with a straight edge and it looks fine. I’ve heard that 12” saws have more blade wobble but is this acceptable? I’m not sure if I should get a new blade and re-test or take the saw back.
