Quote from: libliblibliblibliblib on January 19, 2015, 05:13:21 PMBosch is cheap crap fyi (also ryobi). Dewalt is good for a homeowner, hitachi is my personal fav. I would recommend a 10in slider over a 12in fixed miter saw. I don't know what the price difference is tho.Have never used a slider. 12" is big enough for any board work I have done in the past. 10" non slider has made me get creative in the past. I could see the slider part making that not an issue though.

i bought makita everythings out of my fence budget. i do want a slider miter saw but maybe i will just borrow someones from this thread if i ever need one.

IMO Hitachi makes great saws. Makita has the best impact drivers and hammer drills. Dewalt for pretty much everything else. Rigid from HD is not bad if you're looking for a medium-duty tool, I used a Rigid impact driver for about two years while working as a carpenter, was a nice product for a good price. FYI if you're purchasing a miter saw and want any sort of portability one of these is a must: fits pretty much any saw, but sliders tend to make it a bit wobbly, so beware!
Built this for MrsDMartin this past weekend. Now she gets to decide how she's going to finish it.
I would love to get into woodworking.
