My son in law would like one for Christmas. He just needs one for home use not for a job or anything. I am thinking a slide miter type but would like to hear what you guys have and like. Thanks Ken

I recently upgraded to a big Kobalt double bevel laser sliding compound miter saw. Probably had three or four more things in the name really. It is a turd. Had troubles with the switch on it numerous times been sent back and got it back with a new switch with the same issue as the old one. Now the switch does not work at all and you need to plug and in plug it to use it. Super nice.

I have a craftsman 7 1/2 inch sliding compound miter saw. I got and use it for running trim work. If I was going to get one for doing more work I would get a sliding double compound miter with a 12 inch blade. I've only used Dewalt in this size.

Another vote for the Dewalt. I have a 12" dual compound slider that is 15-20 years old and sees regular use on the job. My contractor buddies tell me the newer ones are just as good. The stand is also a good investment, I love mine. I used to lug it around and would always joke that,"It's a good thing they (miter saw and table saw) are portable or moving them would kick my arse." They all suck at dust collection, That's why I invested in the hood. It's a Rousseau 5000, money well-spent. The pics are from a 2nd floor master bed and bath remodel. We had just put the oak floor in and finished it the prior week. The miter saw and table saw stands made getting the saws up and down much easier and the hood was a must.
Eh...wot?

Milwaukee also makes an awesome cordless 18V mitre saw but they are proud of them.

I have a non sliding Hitachi and use Piranha blades on it. I lent it to the marina to build around 500feet of floating docks and. It picture frames with it. It’s accurate on the miter and bevel cuts to a T has a laser that is pretty much on as well and does not break the bank either

I have a dewalt that is 20 years old that the slide arm wore out from cement board siding and it still is in use at the cabin. It is a ten inch. Replaced it with a rigid 12 in 4 years ago because of price and warranty It miters left and right
