Stop elevation The Right Saw Before we dive into the upgrade, let's take a moment to consider the saw itself. Woodworkers are tool addicts. If one cordless drill is good, three must be better. So when it comes to miter saws, what we all really want is a sliding compound miter saw. Is that tool's 12" crosscut capacity worth $500? Not all that often. But in the interest of satisfying the more-is-better desire in all of us, we suggest a 12" compound miter saw (around $300), rather than a 10" (usually less than $200). You can usually gain an extra inch in crosscut capacity with a 12", but it's up to you to decide if the expense is warranted. Another feature to consider is the type of fence on the miter saw. In our opinion the easiest fence to adjust is a split-fence design, meaning the two fences can be independently adjusted. Many miter saws have a single casting incorporating both fences. If the casting is out of parallel you pretty much need to bend the casting (which isn't all that easy) to align the fences to 90° to the blade.
