How To: Add A LED Shadow Line To A Miter Saw (CHEAP!)

In this video I go through the process of adding an inexpensive LED light to my Bosch GCM12SD Miter saw. This little upgrade makes a HUGE difference in the use of this saw. This is a great option for older saws as well, once you use a saw with a shadow line you'll never go back!

This process is somewhat universal to all miter saws, you'll just need to use a different method for attaching the LED to the saw hood, in the past I have used hot glue and gaffers tape to keep the LED to on the saw hood, and its held up great.
