GCM12SD vs DWS715

Bosch GCM12SD vs DEWALT DWS715. Of the 6 figures both makers publish, none differs outright. 3 are worded too differently to set side by side: bevel capacity, crosscut capacity and included. Both are miter saws with the same blade diameter: blade diameter 12" on the GCM12SD, 12 in. on the DWS715, in their makers' figures.

Stated differently, not directly comparable

The two makers put these figures in different terms, so the rows cannot be read as a match or a difference from these pages.

  • Bevel capacity: GCM12SD: 47° left and 47° right. DWS715: 0° - 48° to the left and 0°- 3° to the right.
  • Crosscut capacity: GCM12SD: 3-1/2" x 13-1/2". DWS715: 2-in X 8-in Dimensional lumber cross cut capacity at 90° and 2-in X 6-in Dimensional lumber at 45°.
  • Included: GCM12SD: Includes; (1) GCM12SD 12 In. Dual-Bevel Glide Miter Saw; (1) Premium 12 In. 60-Tooth Carbide-Tipped Blade; (1) Wrench; (1) Toolless Vertical Work Clamp; (1) Dust Bag/Assembly; (1) Vacuum Adapter Elbow. DWS715: (1) 12-Inch (305mm) Carbide tipped blade; (1) Wrench; (1) Dust Bag; (1) Vertical Clamp; (1) Single Bevel Compound Miter Saw.

One-sided rows: only Bosch's cited pages give voltage, miter capacity and weight; only DEWALT's cited pages give motor and arbor. A missing figure is not a zero, so the GCM12SD and DWS715 cannot be compared on those rows from these pages.
