Great video Mike, Ed. The transitions (entry door, attic door)are fun.

At nearly 40, you flatter me Kitsteiner.

Your point about hearing protection is a valid one. The saw is quiet, but I plead guilty as charged. My seamless delivery might make it less obvious (HA!), but that video was shot almost off-the-cuff, so I forgot to put on my earplugs before pulling the trigger. Thanks for the reminder.

Great post, Stephany. I look forward to future installments.

Not true, Buckeye. The machine is 120v.

Hi Stu,

Yes, the Hitachi has been out for a few years. It saves space behind the saw with a slide mechanism that points toward the front. The Festool Kapex also has a slide mechanism that points forward. I think Bosch is the first modern saw with the hinge setup.

The blade wrench rides on the saw and there is an arbor lock for easier blade changes. In a small stroke of brilliance bosch put a smaller hex wrench on the other end of the blade wrench that fits some of the saws's other adjustments.

There's no work light, but a laser (Bosch part LS010) is available. Dust collection seems to be about on par as other sliders.

Nice job, Matt.

Good question, Bunkey. I've added a photo that shows the dust hood and hose connection. See above. I'd say the system is on par with all the other miter saws I've used. I suspect Bosch decided these tools are mostly sold to carpenters and homebuilders who use them outside, so they gave the dust collection system less emphasis.

It's quite a speciman you have there Mr. Hausch! Is it more of a collectable or do you use it in a commercial setting?

Nice house and a gorgeous door.

The brokerage fees spelled out in the link above seem reasonable to me. Maybe Grizzly has arranged for special rates.

Thanks Charlton. Was this your first experience with Grizzly? How much we're the brokerage fees, if I may ask?

I don't have any real suggestions, Ed. From my understanding, the 2005 rule only applies to new models, so even though your saw is relatively new it was likely introduced well before the new rule took effect. I'd call delta and ask what, if anything, can be done to make you saw safer.

Very nice! I love organized scraps.

Good question, Aroonstock.

Thanks for the help, Steve.

It's a good question, Chris. Besides a slab table, our only thought is you'd have to saw up these big hunks into something more manageable. Of course, the obvious advantage is that you'll have great color ad grain match with all your lumber coming from the same big board. Although I think it would be tough both physicaly and mentally sawing such a nice, big piece of material into something more-ordinary.

Hi Sara,

I think your blog posts are well-written and extremly interesting. The photography is great too. Keep up the good work!

Patrick

I love that you used some salvaged material.

Thanks for the welcome, Chuck. My "shop" has been in Stowe, VT, so I know a little about New England winters. I'm hoping to work year round now. I have been trading the tools for cross-country skis during the cold weather.
