Has anyone had success mounting an after market laser on this saw? What do you recommend?

Yes. There's ample space on the arbor. I think I put an Irwin laser on it and the kit came with a thinner arbor nut to accommodate for the added space of the laser. Works just fine.

Sorry, can't help you. Although I still have this saw I use it only for paver block cuts and have never had a need for a sight laser.

Yep, don't recall what brand I got, but they just slip on over the arbor before adding the blade and are then tightened down as per usual. Works fine ... but, once you have the saw properly trued (take your time, do it right, check every thing you do and the saw is capable of VERY good accuracy), I'm not convinced that a laser is anything more than a convenience.

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

I have used on Poulan equipment, not specifically a saw. I have used on all my equipment with 'tamper-proof' adjustments. Very helpful.

I think you should look at the Dewalt table saw stand DW7440RS. This one if for table saws and more stable. You'll need to remove the tube stand from the saw you have to be able to mount it to the rolling stand. Cheaper too just saw it for $154

Amazon has a flashlight and laser sight mount with barrel adapter for $5.00 #25nm just checked they have another seller that has this you only need the top part to mount on barrel and the laser will mount on this screws are a little long will have to cut down i had some short ones from another mount. Good luck.

Well you've already received 2 responses but for what it's worth I did receive a material clamp with my saw. Similar in design & function as the one I use on my Porter Cable 12". As for any slop or undesirable movement when fully extended I can say that I haven't experienced any problems. If you don't have a bench top to place your saw, I would highly recommend the Dewalt DWX723 Heavy Duty Miter Saw Stand. Easy to set up, you can set up either side for material support or positive stop if you plan on cutting material the same length over & over again. It is absolutely solid & I've been impressed with the design. Hope this helps you. Good Luck.

There are screws on the upper side of the saw. Remove those, place the light's mount into place, and return the screws through the mount into the original holes.

Jim G., unfortunatly This will not fit with laser site installed. It works great otherwise.

I've just mounted my new Makita model LS1216L saw to this stand and everything looks fine. It was pretty straight forward. Haven't used it yet, but the tests that I've done show no issues. Other than bolting the saw on, you have to level the extensions to the height of the saw's table, but that's about a two minute job, if that.

There are multiple ways to mount it. Do you have a standard rail for attachments? Like flash light foregrip laser? If so it should fit a standard rail width..

You need to purchase a router mounting plate from someone like bench dog. You could cut an opening in the extension table top or buy a cast iron wing from someone else that has a mounting plate built in it. Do a quick Google search and you'll find all kinds of options. The saw is amazing though so good luck

This model does not come with a laser guide. I am not aware of a Rockwell laser guide for this model. I have not researched whether an after market laser guide is available.

I agree with Gordon...the saw I purchased went together perfect and the performance was as well. Only thing I can think of is that it was damaged at manufacture or while being shipped. What size tile are you working with and how far out is the cut?. You might call Bosch and see what info they have for you. I am very pleased with the saw, it is built very well..only thing I thought was unnecessary is the plastic splatter guards, useless and only get in the way. Also....for those of you who don't like the available stands for this saw I have an option. I also purchased the Bosch Easy Up and with some inistrute, metric bolts made one killer saw/ stand combo.

I have a DW715 12" Type 3. I installed this tonight and it does fit the saw. Took roughly 3 minutes to install. Also I fired up the laser and marked where it fell on a 2 x 4. I then pulled down the blade and the teeth drop right on the laser line.

I attached it to my craftsman from Sears. No trouble here. You may have to drill a couple holes in the bracket to fit your saw but it doesn't take to long.

I put one on my Harbor Freight Saw, but I had to remove the safety shield, because the shield hit bolt that holds on the laser and blade.Now it works, but only after the saw comes up to full speed.

No, great question. I had to remove my beloved belt clip in order to mount this laser!
