[SML] Miter Saw Rec

[Brian Munroe]

I am a big fan of dewalt miter saws.  I own 2 – a 10” at my home shop that I have had for close to 20 years, and a 12” I bought last year for my road kit.  The 12” is not sliding but still cuts just everything I need it to.  It was $230 with blade.

 

I highly recommend buying tools under the “you get what you pay for” mantra, and avoid Horrible Freight like the plague unless it is a one-time use situation.

For occasional home use I strongly recommend the Harbor freight salvage 12 " sliding compound miter saw. It is not a saw I recommend for professional use but I have one at home and for the price it can not be beat. It costs under $150 including the not included blade. It takes a bit more time to get it set exactly right but it costs a quarter of any saw with similar capabilities would cost. I am so happy I sprung for a 12" saw, I might not need the capacity all the time but boy when you need it it is amazing to have.

Any recommendations for a Compound Miter Saw for occasional use around the house for trim/molding projects??  10" is going to be adequate. Please let me hear pros and cons.

Best and TIA,

Steve
