As I'm about to start on a renovation of some outbuildings at the homestead, I'm going to need some form of mitre saw and table saw, rather than the hand held circular saw and manual saws I currently posess! Would it be better to go for one of each, or has anyone had experience of something like the De Walt 'Flip Saw' which combines both in a single unit? My guess would be that there'd be a trade-off getting both in the one unit, but whether it'd make too much of a difference, I just don't know. ( I *have* read the recent mitre saw thread, and am aware that the one major constraint I'd be putting on myself would be the absence of any form of 'sliding' mechanism, but I thought this a sufficiently different question to warrant a posting)
Something like this:
My expectation is that the mitre saw won't be needed for anything bigger than 4x2, but as ever I might find other things for it to be doing. The table saw - who knows?
Thanks in advance guys
