Chop saw vs Miter saw

[Wingnut]

I aged the mahogany in my kitchen with a potassium dichromate solution. I aged a bookcase once with a propane torch. Worked good. Have to be careful though.

I did that once.  Aged back to carbon.

Its a little more aged than I had hoped but it was my first attempt.

That's a good piece of equipment. You will not regret that purchase.  But it will not make miter cuts on a 2 x 6.

BTW: I have both a chop saw and miter saws. the chop saw is used only for cutting metal and is invaluable on a construction site (cutting rebar and such)

Nice!

Should take care of all my framing cuts and switch over to do most of my cutting for vinyl siding.

I have a cut-off saw for metal... But even after I get that big Dewalt slider, That ol chop saw will stick around... great for chopping 2x4s and such... and it is fairly compact by comparison.

Its a starter saw for me. $120 plus $11 for a 4 year warranty

I like dewalt but found one of these on sale for $100 less and it has a lifetime service warranty to the original purchaser. 



No problems at all so far!

It looks like quite a tool. I've just about run out of workspace for another saw. So I limit myself to cutting on the table saw or with a circular saw, jigsaw, sawzall, handsaw, router, tile saw, die grinder, or cutting torch.
