Anyone have any experience with this saw?

I have the 12″ Bosch slider with the gravity rise stand. Lowes had a deal where when you bought the saw you got the stand free so it was like paying only 299 for a 599 dollar saw. I really wish i had the Bosh glide saw you can have it right against the wall mine is like a tradition slider with the poles sticking out the back its a bit of a pain to set up a good work area in a tight space. I do hear a lot of good thing about Makita miter saws though.

I use a Makita LS1225 (12″ non-sliding). Got it in a pawn shop for $125 in great shape.

I wish home depot had more deals on tools I would like to buy It’s always tarps, painting supplies, or cheap pneumatic tools every time I check it out.

Man that’s an awesome link.  I never new HD had a deal of the day.  Wish i would have saw this post yesterday.

Buy a new miter saw yesterday?

There is always a deal of the day. However it is usually online only. We clearanced this saw out of my store about a year and a half ago.

Which I bought one. 

If they didn’t sell out they might have it back in a few weeks I haven seen the same deal a few times.
