Default What does sliding Miter Saw do over a non sliding saw

Seems like a great deal Peter (the non-slider is $300 new without stand and
the slider is $600 according to an earlier post).

Not ever using one, I didn't realize the slider worked like a RAS with a
"pull" across the piece which has the tendency to pull it away from the
fence. Non-slider comes down on the piece and with the rotation of the blade
has a tendency to push the piece back against the fence. I had a RAS as my
main tool for years (loved it) but it was not super accurate on cross-cuts
for that reason.

You guys are so great here,everybody helps. I'm a little dumb it
doesn't matter to you guys, you still help. Try this in any Adobe News
Group, and you think you landed in a pot of conceded schmucks. I think
the saw is over my head honestly, but thanks for all the wonderful
responses. The saw is here in Sacramento, in case someone is interested,
I will pass..........Peter

Now I'm confused, are you saying the sliding one is not as accurate?
Then I won't buy it.......Peter


You got to keep in mind Dave's the type of guy that forgets little

details,
like remembering to put bottoms in the drawers he makes.
