This is a follow-up to all the great answers I got to asking which saw
to buy to frame and trim a small stereo closet in my basement. I am choosing a Miter saw since it can do moldings and I might need to do the trim in my basement bathroom as well. Plus, miter saws have all those fancy knobs and gauges that I just can't resist ![]() I am looking at the Black And Decker Firestorm which I can't seem to find for sale anywhere.. It has 2 year warranty. Its $170. Either this one http://www.blackanddecker.com/Produc...ProductID=8196 or this one http://www.blackanddecker.com/Produc...ProductID=2663 Or this Craftsman for $129 http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...cat=Miter+Saws I'm not sure I really need the extension wings and stop block on the more expensive one. Are these acceptable choices, or perhaps if I am willing to buy these I should go ahead and buy an __? I recall loving my B&D cordless hammer drill. However, I am finally realizing the torque settings are kind of SWAGish and inconsistent. Its innaccurate. Do you think the B&D Miter saws might also be innaccurate? And finally, am I to put this on the floor and cut, or is there a specific type of table to buy/make? Im pretty handy but my respect for power saws runs into the realm of fear, so the more info the better.
