BOSCH CM10GD Compact Glide Miter Saw 10 Inch

Overview

Corded power and an 1800 watt motor put the Bosch CM10GD in the stationary shop-saw category: 64 pounds, 4800 RPM, and a 10 inch carbide-rated blade built for repeated cuts in framing lumber and trim.

Running on 120 volt corded power rather than a battery means the CM10GD never loses torque partway through a stack of cuts, which matters most on repetitive framing or trim runs. The tradeoff is that it needs to stay near an outlet and a bench, since 64 pounds isn't something most people want to haul between job sites. The carbide element in the spec sheet points to a wear-resistant blade, useful for anyone cutting hardwood trim as often as softwood framing lumber.

• 1800 watt corded motor
• 4800 RPM no-load speed
• 10 inch blade capacity
• 64 pound stationary build

Who it's for

Framers, trim carpenters and home shop builders who need accurate angled cuts on dimensional lumber and molding are the target here, working from a fixed bench or garage setup. Anyone needing to move a saw between job sites regularly should look elsewhere, since there is no cordless option and the tool weighs 64 pounds.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 1800 watt motor spins the blade up to 4800 RPM with the blade material listed as carbide, which points to a wear-resistant edge for repeated cuts through softwood and hardwood alike. Because the saw draws power over a cord rather than a battery, output stays consistent through long cutting sessions instead of tapering as a battery drains. At 64 pounds the saw sits solidly on a stand or bench, which helps cut accuracy but rules out easy transport.
