New saw.

[Sparkey]

I picked up a barely used Hitachi compound miter saw for $60 from the guy I work with. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but it has great reviews on the internet. I am hoping it will make better corners for my picture frames than what I was using.

Good for you, my friend bought one and had me use it on a job doing floor molding.It was way out of kilt.I showed him what was wrong ,he fooled with it but never got it plumb.He would'nt let me tackle it so the job came out not the best.Biggest problem was the boards were10-15 or 20 feet long and the house was full of everything.you had to work around everything .What a nightmare.Me being hurt it was double that.Check your alignment by setting it at a 90 degree and cut a board twist the board and try to cut the same cut ,just touch the board with it running again and then cut all the way across just barely touching the previous cut.If its cutting more wood  its out of alignment,but you probably already knew how to do this

Good deal. Already broke in and ready to go.

Congratulations!  That is a good deal.  Miter saw is one tool I don't have.  Maybe someday when I get more room.

Great going Rusty. I have that saw and it is still in the box. I haven't used mine either but when I get ready to make the mantle for sis then it will sure come in handy. Right now I don't have a space in the new shop to set it up as yet but once I get it to where I want it , then I can set it up and use it. I read all the reviews on Amazon and that is the reason I got mine. It's a nice saw. Mine is a 10" but not a sliding compound miter saw. Just a miter saw and you can but bevels right and left. Enjoy your new toy.   Fay

I made a couple of cuts today to check out the saw. I cut some 45's to check for making picture frames and they came out perfect. Vary happy with this purchase.
