Compound Miter Saw - Power Tools

A compound miter saw just doesn't cut up and down like a regular miter saw, it can also act like a radial arm saw. It's like having two saws in one. Most finish carpenters have replaced their old miter saws with a brand new compound miter saw.

If you're planning on building a custom stairway, with a complicated hand rail system, a compound miter saw could come in handy. This saw is preferred by most finish carpenters who install crown molding and other wood trim.

If I had to choose between a compound miter saw and a regular miter saw today, I would get the compound miter saw.
