The sliding compound miter saw tops the list of woodworking tools that can make accurate and smooth angled cuts used in everything from fine cabinet work to house building. Its lesser cousins include cut-off saws, so-called “chop saws” and any miter saw without the slide.
Do you need a 12″ saw or will a 10″ model do? The pros of choosing a 12″ machine over a 10″ unit are greater cutting height and depth and usually more power. The advantage of a 10″ model is lower weight and lower cost. If a 10″ saw will make all the cuts you can envision making in your shop or on the job site, by all means choose the smaller design. Most features and overall quality will be similar or identical within any particular brand.
