Miter Saw Review - Which to buy Chop Pull Bevel
Mine is an old Sears non sliding that I think would chop six inches.
I've wonderd about getting a newer sliding type but just don't use one enough to justify the high price. The big sliding type are heavy and most can be bought with a stand, so they are a substantual piece of equipment.
I'd vote for the non sliding type.
Brand, I don't know enough about current brands to make a call on that
Frank.

Miter Saw Review - Which to buy Chop Pull Bevel
There is a website called MiterMaster that will calculate the angle settings for compound miters for table saws, chopsaws, etc. This chart assumes that the angle guages on the saws are dead on accurate, which they aren't, but it is a good place to start.
I've got a little Wixie digital angle finder that is magnetic so it will cling to a blade to help getting the angles right. It won't help a bit tho unless you zero it out on a known flat surface like the table saw table or a chop saw fence, etc. that will be relative to the setting you're after.

Miter Saw Review - Which to buy Chop Pull Bevel
Don't feel bad, I make a Bo Bo now and then too.
I had several drawers to make for a desk recently, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
I must have been daydreaming or something as I ended up with all right hand drawer sides and no left hand ones.

Miter Saw Review - Which to buy Chop Pull Bevel
90% of our kitchen cabinet business stopped with the delivery of the cabinets, the finish carpenters took care of the installation.
That being said I never had need of anything greater than an ancient Crapsman chop saw. It did the job wnen we needed one but was a real PIA to get set correctly and keep it there.
The compound miters if we had any we did on a Radial arm saw. I'd have to look but I think our radial arm saw will cut almoat thirty inches at a 45% angle, enough to miter a standard 26 inch wide countertop.
There is a website called Miter masters, (I think), that will compute the angle settinga for about any compound miter cut you can come up with.
The degree markings and the little pointer that is supposed to tell you where the blade is set is so horribly inaccurate on even the high dollar sawa that they might as well not even put them on the saw.
I use one of those little Wixie digital angle guages and don't even look at the angle guage on the saw. So long as you zero the little Wixie out on the blade before you set it the little thing works really good.
Frank.
