Miter Saws with Balls

Have a look at these guys. Their RAS's are dead accurate; changing angles without losing accuracy is no problem.

I'm not sure if they have a 20" saw but if you want a saw with the biggest balls you'll want a Pistorius.

Its hard to see how such a huge blade could be very accurate, a Ryobi 14" I've used flexes around too much. There's a 10", brand name Omga, that is the most dead accurate I've ever used. It's so heavily made that it's not portable. Only place I know of where they're available is a laminate supplier called E.K.D. Kinast in Northlake, IL.

An approach you might consider is to buy one fairly decent 10" RAS. It will provide the width capacity you want. Get it set dead on at 90 degrees and leave it there. To cut angles use a swinging fence. Scribe your fence angles out on the table about 12" or so from the pivot. At 12 inches the spacing between each degree mark will be nearly a quarter of an inch. I use my RAS in this manner and it works for me YMMV. Earl Creel

The July Fine Homebuilding has a good comparison article on 12" CMSs.

Delta didn't fare too badly.

If you can find and old Dewalt or Wallace radial arm saw it will meet your needs. I have an old Wallace 10", gear drive. They cut as deep as most
