It happens that Roger Mills formulated :
Looks like a better spec too, in that it's *definitely* a compound
mitre and not just a mitre. OK, it's 1500 watts instead of 1700 -

It doesn't actually say compound mitre, are you sure?

Well, if my understanding of "compound" in this context is correct, yes.

You can cut compound bevels - which are at an angle to the axes of the wood
in two different planes. Firstly, you can rotate the cutting assembly
through +/- 45 degrees in plan view - which *all* mitre saws can do. *Then*
you can tilt the blade about a horizontal axis. [The text calls one of these
"miter" (sic) and the other "bevel" - and defines the max cutting capacity
for various combinations of these].
