Also known as a chop Saw, this awesome piece of spinning danger is arguably one of the most useful tools in the workshop. For woodworkers and Diyers, you basically can't do without it. For those who don't know what a miter Saw does or is, just think of it as a circular Saw, mounted onto a base, where you can fully operate its movement and angle of cut.
Every miter saw will have its limitations in terms of depth of cut and angle range, and may or may not also come with other perks, such as a sliding function, auxiliary light, or dust collector, to name a few. These stationary tools divergence with free-hand tools, and it's not difficult to see where their strengths lie.
Obviously, you won't be able to use it to make long passes along your stock, but would use it mainly to slice or "chop" joints and ends to assorted angles. For those of you who have toiled at the mercy of a circular saw for these projects, I would seriously consider a miter saw. Not only is it easier and faster, but the cuts will be perfect!
I don't think I'm the only one who finds it difficult, if not practically impossible, to get a miter cut seeing like it's supposed to with only free-hand tools. Once you have this tool at your disposal, assorted angle cuts from normal 90 degree end cuts to 45 degree window frames will be quick and painless. This is beginning to sound like an advertisement now, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm a satisfied customer!
And if you dish out a slight more, you can get one that has a slide function, which enables the blade to "slide" or move along a set distance. This will allow you to accomplish larger cuts from front to back, as opposed to being slight to whatever estimate the saw blade can cut dropping right down. Suffice it to say that this is a must for any precision miter joints and notching - unless you've got real skills!
Most come with the potential to set blade depth and angles, with rotational potential in both the vertical and horizontal axes. This makes for an extremely versatile tool, created to bring a whole new size to speed and accuracy in your woodworking. I personally use it for both miter joints and notching, and find it to be an easily necessary tool! - Happy woodworking!
