I’ll preface this... I have an (ancient by todays standards) older B&D
10" regular miter saw (no compound, no sliding, etc.) It is so old that
the "blade brake" has fallen off, not that I ever really used it. It's
always been plenty accurate and "tight". The only down side I've found,
is it won't make it through x by 6 material. To cut a 1x6 or 2x6, I have
to raise the board up. I have a good table saw but in the "right tool for
the right job" spirit, I'm thinking it may be time to upgrade to a better
miter saw.

Suggestions... keeping in mind, I'm no longer doing this for a living, my
budget is not unlimited, and the meager tool I'm used to.

In that case I won't mention my 12" Milwaukee that I really like.

Thanks for any suggestions

Ed
