In the course of renovating a room in my house, I need to make some
bevel & straight cuts on a 10' x 6" baseboard. So here's my
opportunity to add to my collection. As woodworkers and possibly home
handymen, would a compound miter saw (non-sliding) or circular saw be
more advantageous.

Thanks.


Get both if you can, if not, it would be tough to do without a decent
circular saw.

Agreed here, any plywood to cut, or rips, or any of a dozen other operations
and you're out of luck with the miter saw. If it were a choice, I'd spend
my money on a good worm drive saw.
