Hi folks,
My son Dobby (He looks more like the Dobby character from Harry Potter) is a beginner woodworker and wants to get into some woodworking crap
He wants to start with building some tables and chairs for his small shop in the backyard. We have been reading blogs and watching videos for last couple of days to decide which miter saw would be best to buy? But there is so much stuff available on the internet that its hard to decide. Some YouTube videos suggest Ryobi 7-1/4 inchs miter saw but after watching videos it seems to have very limited features. For example, the size of blade and the fact that it’s not a sliding miter saw. While reading reviews, a common model suggested for beginners is DEWALT DWS 780. But while while checking the specs, the suggested saw models were different.
This article suggesting a 10” DEWALT DWS 70 model. Whereas another article suggesting 12” DEALT DWS 70.
This makes me think what if we buy a 12” miter saw and use a 10” blade if required? Will this even be possible at first place? Is this a good model as a beginner? If not, can you guys recommend something that is best both in terms of efficiency, usability and at the same time won’t break the bank?
Is miter saw good or using a circular saw will be more convenient in start?
Apology for asking tens of questions but I thought its better to ask in a single post. Thanks in Advance & stay safe.
