I've decided to get a miter saw. I'm not interested in a slider. I have looked at the Dewalt, Hitachi, Delta, and Makita. The only one that I saw that had an adjustment for the angle stops was the Dewalt. That is the one that I was leaning toward anyway but I'm wondering about the others. For those of you who own other brands (or just have knowledge of them), is there any way to fine tune the angle settings?
Is money an object? If not do a google search for "Omga". It's an Italian brand. They've been using an Omga 10" miter box at my favorite mill shop for about
8 years now. They only use it for their finest work. It looks and feels like it was machined out of a solid block of metal and is rock steady. It's not very big, but not very portable as it has a belt drive motor. Their Omga radial saw is dead accurate and very solid as well.
