   I have been using the Bosch 4410L for a couple years now and just recently did a job that needed dead-on 45-degree miters. I moved it over to 45-degrees, made my test cuts and it needed no adjustment. the cuts were all perfect and the project went together without gaps.

   I have a review of this saw at the link below with photos and more details if that would help. I also have reviews of a few other miter saws in the Tool Review section.

   I have Bosch too. Bevel & mitre  stop  works  very  well. I cannot remember which series/model,  but it is direct drive.  Jerking start &  a bit noisy.

   I've seen & tried one with  belt driven - induction motor. Very soft start. Very low noice ( I think our neighbour woud not care less if we work at night). Not sure the brandname but the country of origin is China. So I bought  Bosch ones.

   I do not know  if  BOSCH, Makita  or DeWalt  has  belt driven SCMS with induction motor. I like  the soft start feature, just like router machine.

   I'm glad to share any info  you have that I do not know.

   Thanks.

   The Bosch 4410 series are all belt driven. I think the direct drive systems are limited to their lower-priced models, if they make them at all anymore.Tom Hintz

   Yes ! I supposed you are right. Mine one is about  $ 170 (US) or so.  I did not have much choice.  Most of the stores in my town  keep  3 or 4 machines of mixed makes. Can place order anyway, but  the price is sky high. That's why  most of my  WW hand tools & power tools  I purchase at  internet retailers.  

   Thanks

   i hate Dewalt on principle...but after comparing sliders I had to go with the yellow one...just felt so much more solid...controls are in better locations...engineering seems more completely thought out...

   I feel like i've sold my soul to satan, but it sits in my shop and gets regular use with no problems to date...
