New Bosch mitre saw...PCM 8 S.....looks good
Post by uncle buck »
Spotted this the other day whilst tool browsing....looks a nice piece of kit with all the bells & whistles...
Price seems to be around the £240 mark.

The green Bosch tools are normally made for the diy market and are not as robust as the Blue Bosch power tools.
Not sure if it is worth spending £240 on, as you can often pick up similar Dewalt models for a little more.

Yeah the Blue Bosch tools are classed as the professional range however the Green tools are still very good.
The Blue GCM8S is a very good saw but only has a 60mm depth of cut, (The PCM8S (Green) has 70mm)
I suppose 60mm would cover most things around the house though.
