My 2004 era Craftsman non sliding miter saw has given up the ghost. I am trying to decide on what miter saw I should replace it with. I also have a Hammer B3 sliding table saw so that may be playing into my decision. I have started using that for my miter cuts besides long baseboard pieces. I still have some trim work to do. I am tempted to go back with a non sliding version and use the table saw for bigger capacity cuts. I picked up a Dewalt dws779 for a good price but it takes up more room than expected. I can still make it work just cut down on about 6" of walk space. I've looked at:
Bosch slider
Makita slider 10 & 12"
Metabo slider C12RSH2S $319 right now
various non sliders
Anyone want to offer another train of thought?
