Im in the market for a 12" sliding compound miter saw. Needs to cut 12" boards flat. "Laser" line is really preferred these days. Dont really want to go over ~$600. I have a full size radial arm saw and it is just to large to exist in the basement shop. Hoping the replacement can do everything or at least almost everything it can.
Dewalt 15 Amp 12 in. Double Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw at HD runs $599 and looks decent with good reviews. Ridgid had some kind of blade wobble issue at some point but may have been corrected now. Any suggestions or favorites? Rusty, go play with the Dewalt in store and let me know your thoughts.

I have a Dewalt 12” Mitre Saw. The blade wobbles because the retaining bolt isn’t tightened correctly.

I’m not a carpenter but I collect power tools, mainly Dewalt and Makita

Dewalt 14v Drill Driver (came with 12v screwdriver and lamp) I “cough” obtained it from work
Dewalt Circular Saw

Makita 18v Drill Driver + inspection lamp
Makita Hammer / Drill
Makita SDS Hammer Drill
Makita Reciprocating Saw ( like what the paramedics use to amputate limbs)
Makita 8 inch Angle Grinder
Makita 4 inch Angle Grinder
Makita Jigsaw
Makita Router (I have no idea why I purchased this)
And a Paslode Nail Gun

Bosch Powered Saw (thrones you can move backwards and forwards like a giant mitre and the aforementioned Dewalt Mitre

Oh and Stihl and Husqvarna Chainsaws

Everything you need for home defence

If you like Dewalt, go for it. Don't forget that you need to buy the table for it too. I have a Craftsman that I bought about 4 months before they closed. Right now, I'm making termite food with all the wood I'm cutting for the bathroom remodeling job.

Table? Schools are empty, go looting for a desk... I didn’t say that (my local school was relocating so we could collect what they didn’t want)

You're going to need a table for it in order to make a table for it.
