I've always been more of an automotive DIY guy but I'm trying to step up my carpentry game and I'm looking to get a decent miter saw. I'm leaning toward the Bosch 12" dual bevel saw in link-related. Does anyone have any bad experiences with this saw or any general miter saw advice? It's a bit more expensive than I was hoping but with the way things are going I'm OK with that if the quality is there.

Makita makes nice stuff, I own some, always impressed. I went cheap and got the metabo 12” non sliding.

Go to local store, grab blades of all saws and deflect them side to side. This happens in a cut, the sliders have more parts and deflect more. The metabo was the only rock solid one I found short of triple it’s price. Get a kick ass blade to replace the factory garbage one and off you go.

Makita is the best, my dad bought a bunch in the 90's and it's great and he still has them. To be honest though almost all the power tools are fantastic these days and with the warantees (which you should get) you will be fine with almost any purchase.

I'm putting floors in my house right now and wish I had more tools! Borrowing my dads in the mean time. Never underestimate Boomer Tool holdings! He has $100,000 worth of tools and I have no idea how he managed to get all of it in his lifetime. One difference is the table saws, definitely do your reseach on those because those are different.

True, but differences exist. CHeck this out. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=p2EpdRN2h6A
