Bosch GCM 8 SJL professional sliding mitre saw
A powerful and user-friendly sliding mitre saw with high cutting capacity, laser precision, easy bevel adjustment and efficient dust extraction.
With a horizontal cutting capacity of 312 mm, this professional sliding mitre saw is unusually well equipped to handle the demand for 310 mm (12-inch) existing and modern materials.
It will also make vertical cuts up to 70 mm, powered by a 1250 W motor that ensures fast work progress. Users also benefit from effective two-point dust extraction, laser-assisted accuracy and intuitive bevel setting.

Cutting-edge performanceMeeting the needs generated by today’s trends for ‘large tile décor’ and ‘realistic’ surfaces, the sliding mitre saw cuts horizontally to 312 mm. This is more than enough to deal with the frequent demand for 310 mm (12-inch) sizes in timber, planks and flooring. Maximum cutting depth is an impressive 70 mm. | Laser precisionFor speed and accuracy in repetitive cuts, the cut line is indicated very clearly using an integral laser. The laser is class 1M, which is safer for users than the alternative of class 2. A removable laser dust cover simplifies cleaning of the unit. | Clean environmentTo help the user breathe healthy air, and minimise mess, the sliding mitre saw has an efficient two-point dust extraction system. Extraction point one is fixed, and collects chips and dust as the blade slides to the rear during cutting. Point two moves with the blade, collecting as the saw makes slide cuts. |

Quick adjustmentThe bevel lock lever and repetitive bevel stops enable fast, accurate and repeatable cuts without having to reach behind the saw. Turret stops are available for the main bevel angles: 22.5 degrees, 33.9 degrees (for crown moulding), 45 degrees and 47 degrees. | Dependable powerAn upgraded 1250 W motor ensures professional performance and fast work rates, even when cutting very large pieces and being operated via transformers on a job site. An integrated soft-start module allows the motor to start up smoothly. It also reduces the chance of blowing a circuit fuse at start-up, or if using long extension cables or transformers. | Easy handlingDespite its solid construction and capabilities, this sliding mitre saw is relatively compact and lightweight. It features an integrated handle for convenient transport. |

I did a bit of homework on what is the best value for money and what delivers a great job, I went for this one and after giving it a workout it gets a big thumbs up from me, easy to use and accurate, so pleased I got this one!!!
This is a great machine, easy to set up, accurate in cut. But it’s heavy and sawdust clogs the laser guide. I’ve also bought the dedicated wheeled stand which has made this into one of the most versatile machines I’ve got.
This is part of the professional range and is very capable saw. The 30cm width of cut allows for some flexibility in the use and can handle reasonably think wood as well.
This is rather big and heavy but very well designed and made and an absolute pleasure to use. Really accurate cuts are made with ease. I first bought another top make that I had to return for having an unremovable blade. I instead bought this for not too much more money. It turned out to be a great deal better in every way. I particularly like the effective dust extraction when attached to a Hoover, the slide-out side supports, the positive and accurate angle setting, the laser guide and it’s long slide action.
Great saw and vastly exceeds previous Evolution saw. Accurate cutting once you are set up. Fantastic dust extraction, but be warned, this machine picks up your sawdust and literally shoots it out of the back of the machine. A dust bag or dust extractor is essential.
I have mine connected to a karcher WD3P with power tool pass through. While it isn’t certified for dust collection it does the job with this machine for occasional use.
It’s Bosch Pro, so it works straight out the box and is set up and completely accurate to boot.
What more could you ask for?
Only download to this saw is it’s nearly a meter back to front which could be a issue in a small workshop.
It does exactly what it say on the tin (well box that is lol) great saw, works well, good clean precise cuts, I would definitely recommend this produc
All the quality of Bosch pro tools you’d expect, great equipment, sturdy build quality
Had 2 mitre saws in the past, both of them cheaper ones. Was going to buy same saw from screw fix @ 299, found it on Amazon on a limited time deal for 237, what an absolute bargain for a great saw
Very happy delivered on time well packaged enjoy using it for D I Y nice clean cu
This machine is such great value for money. The quality is unrivaled, lots of metal parts in places it’s competitors would have used plastic parts. This machine can do wider cuts than any of its rivals, which you just don’t usually get with a blade this small.
I got this for the shop as I was fed up carrying my cordless one in and out, this is a great saw leaves a nice cut, easy to set up.
Good quality saw and easy to use ,very accurate too,all you expect from bosch
Very good saw had an older version years ago couldn’t t fault tha
purchased this saw to replace an old one and I must say that after reading a few reviews I went ahead and purchased, it is superb, accurate out of the box apart from the laser which required a little adjustment which was easy and away i went, well pleased and would recommend.
Love the solid feel. Every angle is accurate. Feels vey professional.
I bought this to use while building a shed.
It’s made massively light work of jobs that would otherwise be really hard or just plain impossible to manage accurately without.
I worried that it was a really dangerous piece of kit, but the way it’s designed means it’s far safer than something like a simple circular saw. As long as you’re sensible about it, you’d have to work quite hard to hurt yourself with this (other than pulling your back trying to lift it).
The laser gets covered in dust quite quickly, which might make you think that it’s broken, but it’s trivial to clear that (pop a thing out, blow, pop it back in).
Very pleased with it. Be aware. It’s quite heavy. I’ve got it mounted on a mitre saw stand with wheels (which is itself a solid beast). Lifting it into/out of the van for storage is not for the faint-hearted.
All in all though, a really excellent buy. Very pleased I didn’t just buy the cheapest one.
Very well made and great quality. Have used this for various diy projects such as skirting boards and window sills. Would definitely recommend
I bought this after my previous cheaper Mire saw gave up up after quite a few years of work, so far I am not disappointed. As you would expect from Bosh products it is well made and the markers seem reasonably accurate even out of the box but its worth checking. Folds up nice and compact for transport and the carry handle is an added bonus
Great tool .happy purchase..I don’t like the fact that out of the box it needs everything checked and adjusted..laser line..disc..angles..nothing comes properly set up..their all a mess..not a good feeling..
The grip on the handle is not that great especially reaching the trigger safety unlock button..feels a bit like u need to look at your hand while starting the tool..
Altogether is a great professional tool great looks and quality. A happy purchase!
Things I particularly like:
* ability to easily adjust all cut settings for accuracy;
* laser guide (though it gets blocked with sawdust and has to be cleaned out quite regularly),
* good cutting performance;
* easy depth cut adjustment;
* ability to reconfigure the cut quickly using preset positions for horizontal and vertical bevels;
* vacuum hose in fixed position at end of rails – acts to return cutting head to home position and makes it easier to keep hose attachment in place.
Minor niggles:
* Hose attachment is designed for a Bosch connector — an expensive accessory. Fortunately I had an adaptor nozzle for my vacuum cleaner which is a reasonable push fit (helped by my last point above).
* Can’t get the full range of horizontal bevel cut as bolts from fixings to the Bosch saw stand (GTA2600 Pro) get in the way – a problem with the stand fixings not the saw itself, hopefully readily addressable.
Overall I’m very happy with it and think it’s excellent value as a pro tool for top end DIY use.
Bought for Grandson and he is delighted with the mitre saw
I don’t normally leave reviews but this is simply and absolutely superb piece of kit.
The extract connector has changed from older models and now has a new nozzle for connecting the Bosch extractor. That said, I was able to slide a Dyson vac tube into it even with its press button for attachments. I added a bit of duct tape around it to to make sure it sealed fully, but worked well enough for indoor use.
Great mitre saw for the price with as many features you will need for most projects.
The plus side, is this is so easy to use and adjust, i absolutely love it.
brilliant saw recomended 10/10 well worth the extra money
does exactly what it says on the tin only down fall is the dust extraction but i just plug a hoover into it and it works ok
So far very good. I use this saw in my work shop, I’m not sure how it would work on a site. It is a light compact saw easy to set up and very accurate. i would be happy to recommend it for workshop use but not for site use.
Great for use at home….difficulty in seeing laser guide…not sure of the benefi
he only minus so far is the dust ejection facility being not to great thats why 4 staras
Great saw can on time good clean cut with the blade that comes with i
The attached picture is of a 1mm thickness shaving taken from a 10cm square length of pine stock as a calibration test. 10cm exceeds depth of cut so this was actually taken in two passes, reversing the stock between passes. As you can see the cut is entirely uniform so amazing accuracy really. The resulting sliver was so delicate that just holding for the photo broke it. Standard blade was used.
Overall, this is well worth the investment and Bosch got this very right indeed. If I ever upgrade it will be to the 12″ glide version for increased capacity and to save some bench space.
The saw is accurate out of the box and is well made considering it’s at the lower end of the price scale. The base plate is
very solid and well machined. The mitre angle adjustment is very positive and straightforward to use.
Dust collection is on a dual port system and is excellent.
Single bevel mitre angle works very well and is enabled from the front (so no fiddly reaching around the machine).
The negative bits were:
The amount of play in the slide (it’s quite a long slide at 312mm) – not a major problem but I expected better.
The soft-start feels weird – lot’s of vibration.
The cut struggled occasionally scorching the stock – it’s marked as a 1600w motor.
The biggest problem was that on the full 45 degree bevel, the blade fouls the plastic insert which causes a slight
blade deflection until you’ve ‘trimmed’ enough out of the insert. This doesn’t look very ‘professional’ though.
