jswoger1986 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 With tax time here I usually don't get to much back but should I get a miter saw or a table saw with my return. Opinions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Depends on what you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerzconstruction Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I think I would go with a table saw. But it depends if you can make sleds to do cuts with the table saw like the miter saw can make. And do you rip stuff more than you cut and miter. Like I can use a skill saw to make cuts just as good as a miter saw. But short repetitive cuts the miter saw can do it faster. There's a lot of variables in this question. Good luck. Just buy both. On the credit card. LolMillerz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 For me the order is miter saw then table saw, but that covers what my needs best. You may be completely different. Either way we will need pictures!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jswoger1986 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 At the end of the day both are equally important I will probably go with the mitersaw first. this is the one I was looking at the other daySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the go big or go compact camp - nothing in between. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswoger1986 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I would love to do that but my tool budget is pretty low and with everything I need to buy in such a short time I could use the extra $100 to buy a compact router or the rigid jobmax or something I'm only going looking at a 12" so I have the clearance to miter taller base against the fence. I wish I could afford a 12"slide though. Someday I will Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmcmillan Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Unless you do almost exclusively framing type work a table saw is more versatile, but a miter saw will be cheaper. Don't bother with a non-sliding miter saw because you will regret it later when it comes to cutting a wide piece and you have to break out the circular saw.

I have a hitachi 10" but want to get a slider. looking at this one. If you have a menards id give it a look. It is compact and a lot of saw for the money. http://www.menards.com/main/tools-hardware/power-tools-accessories/power-saws-accessories/masterforce-10-compact-slide-miter-saw/p-1444444181123-c-9082.htm?tid=8060013927349077236 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswoger1986 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've never seen anything about that brand I'll have to do some research it's the same price as the one I put the picture up ofSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Ryobi for home depot, kobalt for lowes. I have played around with it a few times and it is really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswoger1986 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ok cool thanks for the tipSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ok cool thanks for the tipSent from my iPhone using Tapatalkagreed with what was said earlier. I visit all 3, lowes, hd, menards for different reasons. Some stores offer better selections than others on certain things. I visit the one that fits my needs better during that time. Also whenever Menards runs a 11% rebate, HD will match it with a mail in rebate of their own. So if HD has something you want from lets say Dewalt or milwaukee that Menards doesnt sell (they dont sell those brands) you can get money back for store credit which is nice.
