Laser line guide for Bosch Miter saw
I’ve been looking for a laser line guide for my miter saw, but it seems every one I look at says something like ” Note: Will not fit Skil HD77 – 7-1/4″ Worm Drive Saw or Bosch, Ridgid, or ProTech 12″ Miter Saws.” Naturally, the Bosch is what I have. Does anyone make one that fits the Bosch? I notice that Bosch makes a saw with the laser, is there a retrofit kit?

I thought the Irwin one would also. The above will not do DW 706/708.
Here is the manual for the Irwin, I do not know how the blade is set up on the Bosch.

If this is the Irwin I've used on a temporary cheaper GMC sliding miter single bevel saw. I also don't know about the Bosch acceptance.
Just note that you will want to have a saw that has a brake on it. The Irwin batteries will go dead pretty quick, if not. About three weeks worth or so, then you need to get those button-style camera batteries (3) to get going again. Other than that it works, and helps a lot. The other guys had it and it lasted a lot longer on a "braking" saw of their's.
