    Advice Please - Wavy cut from Miter saw

    All

    I didn't see a post on this relative to a mites saw based on a quick search....

    I have the new Bosch GCM12SD Glide miter saw. I wanted the 12" chop that Fine Homebuilding rated #1 but this is now phased out.

    When I make a cut - either as a basic chop OR in slide mode I get a wavy cut. By that I mean that the remaining face when held to a straight edge has a wave in it. So If I were to make a cut and glue the freshly cut board to a straight board (butt joint) there would be a gap.

    The gap is small but I paid $700 for furniture quality - as was given on the previous model.

    I get this quality off my Sawstop -- so I want it off my miter for when I need to have multiple setups going at once.


    I tried changing blades - I went to my 96t Freud that I had on my junk miter saw - smaller wave but still there.

    Im thinking runout in the arbor is causing a wobble. Or for that matter anything in the rotor that would allow wobble (bearings, etc).

    Any other thoughts?

    Other than this issue - the saw is great!
