Around the World: Bosch Table Saw / Miter Saw Hybrid
How unfair… the Germans get all the cool toys before we do. I have no information on this as a US product yet and I’ve already seen everything from Bosch coming out for the first quarter. Hopefully we’ll see this gem at some point in 2009. I translated the stats below with BabelFish, which hopefully is pretty accurate. The blade is 12” (305mm) and at first glance it looks a little odd but the design is ingenious. The blade and motor can easily handle either job and with a few quick adjustments the tool transforms from miter saw to table saw.
Sorry to tempt you but for now you will have to be satisfied with the good old fashion separate Bosch Miter Saws & Table Saws available in the US. If these do come to the States trust me we’ll be right on top of it and let you know. With any luck it'll make next years Christmas list.

We also don't get flip saws, Like the Makita LF1000

What else they got planned? Debating on getting a drill from the Bosch 12V or the Milwaukee 12v. (have the hackzall - love it).
