I want to replace my low-end Delta CMS. As I have a radial arm saw that I use for crosscuts I plan to stay with a 10" cms. It will be used for cutoff on small stock and especially for mitering furniture parts (moldings etc.). Are there any good high quality saws I should be looking at?

Build yourself a jig as described in the last issue of Wood Magazine. It has been rated better than any other unit for miters.

Personally I like the Milwaukee.. second choice would be Hitachi.
I like my Makita but I was almost tempted by the Hitachi. What swung it for me is there's a local Makita dealer, so in the unlikely case it should go wrong, it's easy for me to get it fixed. If the De Walt stuff was similarly priced here (UK) I probably would have looked at their offerings too.
Another idea is to check out what sort of blade the saw comes with. If you're doing fine work then you want a blade with plenty of teeth - and TCT teeth preferably.
