May 19, 20178 yr Just ordered a Bosch Glide 12" . It's a "toy" justified by a project. I have a huge pile of Azek I gotta install as my 20 x 40 deck. I ran one length of azek down the 40' centerline and will do herringbone off of that on either side of it. If I don't screw it up it should look nice So cutting the stuff with my worm drive skillsaw is - - - well - - - it's difficult. The stuff is bendy and floppy; has all the structure of carpet. So unless I have it on a dead flat table; with the skill saw; it closes on the blade and grabs and - - well - - it's difficult. Plus I gotta make a lot of 45 degree cuts. So I ordered the Glide. That guy who whispers at wood thinks it's the bee's knees; better 'n the Kapex. We'll see. I considered either the Glide or the Kapex as a cutting machine for segmented turning ( something I have yet to try but segmenting is the reason i got a lathe in the first place. So now ( assuming it survives building a deck) it'll have a shot of killing my last best excuse for avoiding segmenting. And on the up side. I have still not purchased anything from Festertool (they are dark side).

We'll see. it is... it beat out the Kapex by a little and it has bearing instead of bushings... pounded the snot out of mine and never seemed to mind... good blade for Azek... http://www.freudtools.com/index.php/products/product/LU77M012 don't dawdle when you cut...
