I don’t know of too many woodworking shops, whether home or professional, that don’t have a miter saw as part of their equipment. A miter saw is a fine alternative to a radial-arm saw or circular saw for rough-cutting lumber. It’s also an accurate alternative to the table saw for crosscutting and squaring solid lumber.
My problem with a miter saw is that it’s a job-site tool that’s been put to work in woodworking shops. Because of that, it has some – let’s not call them deficiencies – eccentricities that aren’t the best for woodworking.
