(But mine also accepts the 18volt batteries that I have) It weighs 24lbs and is very compact. Has enough power to cut through 2x4's, but if you start trying to cut bevels or angles on 2x material, it pushes it a bit. I have a Dewalt 718 12" slider and I use this little Bosch more than that. I disagree with the previous poster that said that batteries are not a good idea for a miter saw. This sucker is so darn handy for base and case, pvc pipe, EVERYthing! It's so nice to be able to pull it out of the trailer and make a few cuts just like that. It's small enough that I actually hang it on the wall of my trailer with the Dewalt clamps (for the Dewalt mitersaw stand) on it. If you were a glass installer, where you'd be cutting tons of aluminum extrusion - it's be the ticket. Cannot go wrong with it - and I paid a bit more for it back in the day. Very handy and nicely designed. Julian I’ve had the 24 volt version of this saw for 2 years now - it’s identical, just takes the larger batteries.

Yet paying twice as much for cordless doesn't appeal. This is something you mount on a bench (with permanent power) or you run all day long on a site. Batteries miss the mark on this one.
