Depends upon your flooring, I also own a Rigid 10" Miter Saw, just put
down a laminate floor this weekend, the 10" would not cut it at 90
degrees, never mind at 45, snip

Hehehe I got a new, $70, Harbor Freight 10" miter saw awhile
back. Some think they're low quality; however, it zips thru oak
flooring, any angle, no sweat. You got a carbide tip blade in your saw?
My saw came with one.

Carbide tip, problem was the boards were 8" wide, my 10" Ridgid CMS won't
cut that wide.


When I cut my 8" flooring I would pull down on the chop saw (cut a little
more than 7 inches) and when it bottomed out I would lift up on the board.
Perfect cuts. I will admit that this was snap together laminates and that
all the cuts ended up against walls where they will be covered by
baseboards.

That doesn't seem safe to me, I treat power tools with a great deal of
respect, I like my fingers where the are.
