Bosch 4410 SCMS questions

[Jen]

I am thinking of using this saw to replace my seldom used radial arm saw. I want to keep my long fence and cabinet that is built into my shop. If you have this saw could you tell me the distance from the front of the fence to the most rearward part of the saw when the slide is all the way back. I have a wall that is 15 inches from the fence and I need to see if I can cut a pocket in that wall to accomodate the slide of this saw. I can't go very deep with this pocket because the wall is an outside wall of my shop. Also how wide the base of the

4410 is when all fences are set to narrowest position. No info of this kind on any document by Bosch. Thanks.

I bought this saw at a woodworking show a few weeks ago, but haven't installed it yet. This is my incentive to clean up my shop. I'll at least take it out of the box this weekend and measure it. The manual has loads of information including all of the callibration procedures, but not any dimensions. I'll let you know what I find out.

I'm guessing you've never seen a Bosch 4410. Neither have I, but it appears to be largely based on the chassis of a 4412, which is the type of saw I use. If that's the case, there's no way it'll fit your limited workspace. The 4412, at least, is a big sucker requiring a full 26 inches of free space from the fence back. I'd say the machine's minimum width is, at least, as much.

To be frank, I don't think any sliding miter saw would fit into the space you've allotted.

The distance from the fence to the end of the rails with the saw all of the way back is approximately 25". The distance from the front of the base to the back of the rails is approx 31". The width without the fences or the extensions extended is 23" plus an inch or so for the knob to hold the "stop". This knob (or the extensions themselves) can be removed.

Thank you for taking the time to do those measurements for me. It looks like it is too deep at 25" so I will likely go with the Makita LS1013 or stay with my Radial arm saw a bit longer. From what I could see of the specs on the 4410 it looked like a fine saw. The German engineering always seems to impress me. The 3915 was a nice saw too but only single bevel design and it also was a bit too deep at over

23" . The 3915 however did use a s>The distance from the fence to the end of the rails with the saw all of the
