I have a Sears 8 1/2'' sliding miter saw (092 828 594 10) and I am very
satisfed of it.
See:
http://www6.sears.ca/webapp/wcs/stor...ctId=158059769

It is 700$ can, but if you are patient it will be on sale soon or late for
the half price.

I suggest also the following brands :
DeWalt, Makita, Delta.

I don't suggest theses brands
Mastercraft, General (they use to do good tools but not for miter saw)

I think laser is a gadget

I prefer sliding saw because you can cut large bord. If you don't buy a
sliding saw go for a 12'' saw.

Avoid cheap model because they use to include a poor quality blade.

Check for model that can be connected with a vacuum.

Good luck!

Looking for a miter saw to complement my trusty table saw in my small
home workshop. I don't think I will have budget or space for a RAS, so
I want to be able to do as much as possible between the table saw and
miter saw.

Primary use will be for moldings, decks/siding, and various chop saw
type stuff.

I am looking for something better than a sub-$100 cheapo saw and
something cheaper than the $400+ high end professional versions.

Not sure what combination of the following to go for considering my
general use, maximum value/flexibility criteria.
- 10" vs. 12"
- CMS vs SCMS
- Laser?
- Dual bevel?
- Favored brands and models

Any specific product recommendations?

Thanks
