miter saw choices

[nickao]

Yeah I am too.

That angle readout will be nice for me as my table saw really has no way for a me to read the bevel angle accurately.

If anyone is looking for another bargain, this shop stool is nice.  Adjustable height, backrest and on wheels, current price is about 50% off. My kids enjoy the fact it's on wheels. I know my back appreciates any time I can get off my feet.

I have that digital readout on my fence...I payed 149.00 and its worth every penney.  Best thig since sliced bread.... Fast and accurate and easy to rezero!

Has anyone seen or played with the Jet miter saw?  Just curious how it stacks up?

HAS anyone noticed how much the new Dewalt Miter Saw looks and acts like a Kapex?

 

[darkstar]

Yes, I have. After taking back two kapex, and the third having the grinding bevel issue, I am thinking about the robust nature of the four Dewalt miter saws my buddies are using commercially. None of them have the slider, so I am still looking for a sincere review of its pros and cons. Currently I am using a ten inch Makita slider (which only has one rail) I bought in 1989. Only changed the brushes once and its been in four shops over the past 20 years. Great saw, super small footprint, I would like to semi retire it to field work due to its portability and age.

Funny thing about that saw. . .  My business partner has a Craftsmen SCMS.  It is the exact same saw as that Jet!  Seriously, even down to the decals.  Same exact saw.  I'm honestly not at all impressed with it.
