This is a useful addition to the Bosch sliding miter saw. Provides support for longer pieces and includes a stop for repetetive cuts. Unfortuneately, they don't store underneath the saw--they always stick out. You must get to the underside of the saw to attach or remove them. In my opinion, extensions should be included with all miter saws. With the Bosch they're not included, but the price of the saw is low enough that you can add the extensions and still walk away cheaper than the other saws on the market.

I bought this extension for my Bosch 3915 SCMS, and it came a few days after the saw did. It works well for holding work in place, but I do wish it came with two stops. It's a relatively minor complaint, and it's served me well, so I give it four stars.

I did not find this useful. I thought they retract for transport and storage but they do not. In order to change the stop to the other side you need to remove the slides. I would return if not for the shipping cost being close to the item value.

The stop mechanism is a little hard to tighten, and I question the accuracy. The length of the bars is only good for short work. It was a dissapointment after purchaising the saw, which is fantastic, and as a result I had to make my own miter extension and stop. Buy the saw and save your money on this.
