Product Description
The saw’s large 12-inch blade, powerful 3-horsepower motor and dual slide rail permits crosscutting boards up to 4-1/2 inches thick by 12 inches long. When set for a 45-degree miter-cut, it’ll cut up to 4 inches thick by 8-1/2 inches long. At a 45-degree bevel, the saw’s capacity is 2-3/4 inches by 12 inches. And when you set both the miter and bevel angles for a compound cut, the saw will cut up to 2-3/4 inches by 8-1/2 inches. This is the ideal tool for installing crown molding. It’ll cut crown up to 12 inches wide when the molding is laid flat on the worktable, and up to 6 inches wide when it’s held at an angle against the saw fence.
The 5412L also features convenient up-front adjustments of all bevel and miter settings, a four-position handle, work hold-down clamps, two sliding fences, dust-collection bag, and built-in sliding extensions that support boards up to 40 inches long. The motor is equipped with an electric brake that stops the blade within a split second of releasing the trigger. At 59 pounds, this isn’t the most portable miter saw on the market, but that small drawback is more than compensated by this tool’s superior performance and innovative features. -- Joseph Truini

From the Manufacturer
The New Bosch 5412L 12-inch Dual Bevel Slide Miter Saw with Laser Tracking offers the most accurate laser tracking system available, in addition to up-front bevel and miter controls. Engineered for highest visibility, the Bosch arbor laser emits a bright, thin laser line that is visible throughout the cut, enabling the user to perfectly match the cut line to the blade kerf. The arbor laser is battery powered and actuates with the tool, prolonging battery life. An extra set of batteries is included. The saw gives professionals the first and only miter saw with unique upfront controls for added accuracy and convenience and unmatched performance. The Bosch up-front bevel-lock lever and bevel-range selector knob make it easy to set cuts from zero to 45 degrees left and right, and an override allows settings up to 47 degrees. Other controls positioned upfront are an adjustable four-position trigger handle, tool-free clamping, miter lock knob, and miter detent override system. This unit also features two 4-1/2-inch tall speed-track sliding fences, built-in length stop, easily readable bevel and miter scales, an exclusive precision wedge and slot miter detent system, electric brake, and spindle lock. A 15-amp motor provides 3 horsepower maximum motor output, enough power to handle the toughest task. Includes premium 60-tooth carbide-tipped blade, dust bag, tool-free clamp, and wrench set.
