I've been waiting anxiously for Harbor Freight's sale (Today, Saturday, and Sunday) to pick up their new "Double-Bevel," 12-inch sliding miter saw. This weekend it's only $119.00. (save $510 over comparable Bosch 5312)
The double-bevel deal means that the table rotates 45d left/right AND the saw itself tilts 45d left and right. Look down at the saw, the blade pivots to the left/right; look straight at the saw and the blade rotates 45d clockwise and counter-clockwise.
Oodles of other stuff is on sale: 7-function multimeter for $2.00 is an example or a 1/4 and 3/8 socket set for $4.00. Things to stick in the toolbox for those rare occasions when you run into an unexpected need.
I presume the saw will function as expected. When I get the sucker home, and set up, I'll report back on any surprises (positive or negative).
If you don't hear from me, you may assume a) No surprises, or b) I'm laid up in the hospital.
