...anyone have any experience/opinons re: compound, dual bevel, sliding miter saws?
Specifically, I considering a DeWalt 12incher(very pricey) which seems to have the largest capacity...a Craftsman Professional 12(currently on sale, about a hunnert'n' a half less)which has dual lasers to delineate the kerf or a Delta dual laser 10incher(which I like because the protractor markings are engraved/molded into the base and not just silkscreened)...
Questions are: any input on the need(or lack thereof) of the slide feature? Overkill? Worth the additional cost compred to a fixed chop-saw? Howzabout 10 vs. 12 inch in normal practice? Any real concerns with those markings? And what about those lasers, I know Norm and the boys all seem to have 'em?
Any input will be appreciated...
