We've see a lot of miter saws in our shop -- sliding and otherwise -- and this is the best we've tested. The dual-rail design and single-piece table provide the smoothest operation we've ever seen (even after months of use in the shop). This 10", 13-amp saw is capable of bevel cutting from zero to 45 degrees to left and right, and resets back to zero at a positive detent. The fence system provides good support for the work piece in any saw configuration and requires no tools to adjust for miter cuts. Another positive feature is the easily accessible slide release and table adjustment controls mounted right up front on the saw -- where they belong. We had only one suggested modification: It might be nice to have the handle oriented on the horizontal, but that's a personal preference. At around $535 it's not a purchase to be taken lightly, but if you need a sliding compound saw, this one's a winner.  Home |
