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.

If you're going big, go for a sliding.

If you are doing small jobs only, consider a smaller one. I have a 15" sliding Hitachi. I love it. I do not love moving it, even with a great collapsible stand. Just finished trimming a house out and wished I had a smaller one for that. But I'm too cheap to buy another when I have one.

Have a good vacuum to get all the dust off of your tools and wipe them with a cloth with wd40 or some other oil every now and then. Something in the dust causes rust. If you have a shop, put mice traps. I got really upset about a mouse making a home in the bottom of one of my rolling tool chests when I got my first shop.
