For what I assume will turn out to be a very limited time, Acme Tools has a fantastic deal on the Bosch CM10GD 10-inch axial glide miter saw.
Right now, the saw is discounted down to $624, and eligible for $125 savings that drops the price down to $499. It’s regular price is listed as $699.
Amazon has the saw priced at $624, but their $50 off $200+ Bosch promo cannot compete with Acme Tools’ where you can save up to $125 off $500+ orders of eligible items.

Bosch’s axial glide miter saws are rarely discounted by an appreciable amount, which is why this deal is especially noteworthy.
In case you’re wondering, the Bosch 12″ gliding miter saw is also on sale right now, for $619 from $729. Amazon has it at the same price and is also offering a $10 store credit.
$499 for the 10-inch miter saw is a much better price.
In case you’re not familiar with this style of miter saw, they feature a gliding mechanism where the moveable saw head pivots along joints rather than sliding along rails. Because of how they work, gliding miter saws require less rear clearance than sliding miter saws.
Deals on Bosch axial glide miter saws tend to be rare and only last a short time.
If the Bosch isn’t an ideal fit for your needs, Dewalt’s DWS780 flagship 12″ sliding miter saw is also $499 right now at Home Depot, Acme Tools, and also at Amazon.

Considering that I paid close to $587 for mine back in 2013 – $499 seems outstanding. Back then I got the saw bundled with a few extras:
A second SBPT01 hold-down – Bosch #1609B02315
A MS1234 flip stop – Bosch #1600Z0001V
A LS010 Laser line attachment – Bosch #2610005290
None of these add-ons are essential and I found the laser to be ineffectual and useless.
Like many other saws – the stock blade (my saw came with a Bosch #1609800209 – 60-Tooth) is just OK – and I changed mine out for a better blade. I have a Forrest CM12806115 (80 tooth) blade mounted right now.
My other thought is that the saw is a bit of a battleship – weighing in at 65 pounds. So, I find that the Bosch Gravity Rise stand that I have it mounted on is an essential add-on for mobility.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “laser guide” for a saw that wasn’t a silly gimmick.
Also, totally agreed about Forrest blades, they are fantastic. They are also great for table saws, I am a huge fan of the Woodworker II and the Duraline Hi-A/T. Their dado set is also the best I’ve ever used. Ridge Carbide also makes excellent blades, and currently they are running a Black Friday / Cyber Monday promotion where if you buy one blade you get 50% off a 2nd one. I think the real magic behind blades like Forrest and Ridge is that they are hand-straightened so they spin super true. Less vibration means a cleaner cut, less heat, longer life.

I don’t think that Bosch still sells the laser attachment – and if I had paid for it separately, I would have tried to return it.
The little flip stop is handy once in a while – but seems to be hard to source now – so maybe its discontinued too

The laser guide on my Makita LS1013FL has always worked perfectly to show me exactly where the cut line is. It is adjustable, so you can put the line where it makes most sense to you – I have mine set so the right edge of the laser line marks where the cut edge will be. Only time it struggles is in super bright light, but I used to use it in direct sunlight without too much difficulty. Unfortunately, the 64 feet of LED lighting I have on my garage ceiling (which is fantastic for most things) washes the laser out entirely, but I have to imagine any cutline system would have trouble with that much ambient light.
