I'm looking to purchase a 10 or 12 inch compound sliding miter saw at the moment I've got it down to either the 10 inch Rigid or the 12 inch Hitachi. They are both the same price $399, the Hitachi is more versatile in terms of space saving and fine angle adjustment but the Rigid has greater cutting capacity. The way my local Homedepot displays the saws I can't really play around with it much to get a feel for how the angle settings that don't have detents lock in. At Lowe's I was able to play around with the Hitachi and it can be locked in at any angle. I do have space issues in my garage and the Hatachi can sit closer to the wall if it is used stationary. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
