Sliding compound miter saw.

Todays power tools review is on a sliding compound miter saw. I personaly use the delta compound miter sliding saw with folding stand. The mitersaw is called the delta sidekick.

I bought the sliding compound miter saw 9 years ago and have had only one problem with the compound miter saw since. I broke the platsic on the saw blade guard when loading the sliding miter saw in my truck. I just took of the guard and used it since. No problems with the delta sliding compound miter saw since.

The 10" compound miter saw can cut 2x8 and 4x4 at 90 degrees. You can cut larger pieces but you have to cut from both sides. The only thing i would do different is buy a sliding compound miter saw with out the stand. I would buy a cheap sliding compound miter saw for table top use. Easier to load and lighter.

The power of the delta compound miter saw is good. The adjustments are easy and fast. They stay locked in and make same cut every time. The dust colletcor works good and is easy to use on this mitersaw.

The delta power tool is well made and works good. I would buy a cheaper coumpound miter saw next time. I will always keep this sliding compound miter saw at home and use the smaller one for job sites.

Most home owners will not need a sliding compound miter saw like this. It cost me over $500 new and does more than most weekend warriors will ever use it for. Contractors will like the delta sliding compound miter saw but most will preffer the table top version with out built in stand. The delta miter saw pictured above is one with out stand and might be a regular miter saw with no slider.

I prefer mitersaws with the old style handle. The new side ways handles are not comfortable to me. It all depends on your choice for power tools but i like this style better.

The power tools store below has some low cost cheap power miter saws. The lowest price miter saw is $99 but i would buy the one for $199. That is a good cheap price for a sliding compound miter saw. It has all the options most people will ever use and contractors will like the low cost in case it is lost.
