This weekend while helping my son do crown molding in his bedroom the discussion, since we were having trouble and it was taking far longer than the two LOML's thought it should, got around to a compound miter saw.
On the way home, LOML suggested that if I sold my radial arm saw I should replace it with a sliding compound miter saw. I agree that the radial arm saw should probably be sold since it doesn't get used much. Still I've had the saw for a ong time and everyone hates getting rid of a tool. No it isn't possible to have both. They wouldn't fit in the shop and LOML was clear "one or the other".
I know little about the new slidnig saws. In the $200-250 price range, can I get a (a) good; (b) decent; or (c) better add a few hundred bucks if you want a good saw. Any thoughts or ideas on which sliding compound miter saw should replace it.
Added note: I will still have my table saw and bandsaw so selling the RAS doesn't leave me sawless.
