Well, new to me, anyway. Probably just ignored previous notice because of
the prices.

In Harbor Freight's circular promoting their Sidewalk Sale March 8-10, they
have:

12" Sliding, Compound, DOUBLE-BEVEL Miter Saw (with laser guide). Regular
price: $199.99, web sale price: $169.99, Sidewalk Sale price $119.99!

What's different from a regular or sliding miter saw is, when looking
straight at it (not down), the blade will rotate 45d clockwise and
counter-clockwise. Check the small pictures at:


You can cut two angles at once. Great for crown molding.

",,,The blade on a single-bevel miter saw can only be tilted in one
direction, whereas a double-bevel miter saw can be tilted in both
directions to give you more cutting flexibility."

Before yo buy, check the manual to ensure you can "tune" the saw for
better adjustments and accurate cuts.
