I sure miss having a permanently set up radial arm saw. All the versatility of a compound miter, plus ripping capability.

But if you’re set on a miter, go for the gusto.

When it comes to tools, boots or firearms, you’ll never be sorry about buying the best quality and reliability you can afford.

Even though you could technically get the knockoff, buy sats with the difference and get a primo model a year from now with the gains, a poorer quality tool always seems to pack it in when you need it most, in my experience.
