Default Use of miter saws?

So will the 10" miter saw do the job for most work? I just saw an ad at
Lowe's for Delta 10" miter saw . Is this a great deal also?

Great? No. Mediocre? Maybe, depending on your use.

My saw was $300 and the blade is worth more than that saw. It has better
support on the right side for the wood being cut, it is larger 12", for a
wider cut, it is very accurate and holds settings.

If you plan to install some flooring, trim some baseboard, hack some 2 x 4's
to size, it will probably be all you ever need. If you are going to do more
serious work, compound miters for crown molding, you may be disappointed.


For crown molding, you hardly need a 12" blade.
