@Matty Alou if you are getting into woodworking I would buy a miter geared more for woodworking and not framing. When I think of woodworking, I think trim work, cabinets, furniture, flooring, etc. I don't associate woodworking with rough wood cutting like framing, sheathing, etc. even though it technically is woodworking. The DeWALT 12 inch sliders are tried and true if you want to go the DeWALT route. They are a good all around saw. One that might be worth looking into is Hitachi's C12RSH (discontinued) or the C12RSH2 (replacement). The original pioneered some features great for woodworking. It was a saw that grained credibility amongst woodworkers. The replacement is still a good saw.
