Why buy this miter saw versus the Bosch 5312?

having more than 40 years as a fine custom wood crafter, I require the exactness in all the fabrication of parts, splitting knife lines, while once in a rare need for "flaring the blade is necessary, typically thats in a high end house trimming, in the shop, rarely if ever, ..but after 21 years of use of Makita 12" slide, this Bosch"glide miter blows it outta the water! i only have one tiny critic item, that Bosch didn't make the motor and brake system HD enough to use 1/8" blades, well, you can, but I'd like to get another 20+ years from this saw also, so won't over work by using thicker blades! so 4.9 stars!

Where is this saw made? Asia/US/EU?

Best miter saw you can buy. Doesn't matter where it was made

dose this saw have a depth stop on it so you can create a dado

Yes, it has a depth stop. The saw cuts very nice and it glides effortlessly, u must adjust the drag on it. When cutting dadoes, it does not hang up like rail type saws when the fine dust finds its way into the rail bearings like the Dewalt I used to use. It was an expensive investment in a saw, but i really like it so much more then any of my previous sliding compound saws.

is ther laser on this saw.

The UK version (Bosch GCM 12 GDL Professional) ships with an included non battery powered laser that produces two lines that bracket the saw kerf. Not sure why Bosch made the laser layout tool an extra for USA version. There are other differences between these models and the UK 240V version has more options as stardard equipment.
