A key part of any equipment designed for cutting miters in trims or a baseboard is the miter saw. Miter saws can cut something straight or on a horizontal angle. You can also get some that will do a more ornate edge. You can also buy other added bonus features if your budget allows it. You might want to get a sliding saw or a panel saw depending on your needs. You can also get a great miter saw stand to help you have a place to keep it.
The compound miter saw will cut in a straight or horizontal fashion. The motor tilts so it can cut a beveled edge. Most miter saws don't have this tilting function and can't do the beveled edge. These are very long lasting saws and they are also very light and easy to carry with you. This makes them great for going from job to job.
Miter Saw Blade
A double bevel saw is a compound saw that can cut both straight and horizontally, but has the added bonus feature of being able to tilt both ways. Beveled edges have never been easier than with this kind of saw. It is extremely useful and can be used for more work than just a normal miter saw.
A sliding compound saw functions in a way that is like a regular compound saw, but there is one thing that is different. You can pull them along as the wood is cut. You are able to cut bigger pieces this way.
The dual compound sliding saw used the most recent technology and can cut miters and bevels. These are able to tilt both ways and they can also slide forward. This makes them awesome for cutting a wide piece of wood. You can carry them around easy and can be great if you need to use them outside of your workshop or at different jobs.
Another versatile saw is the radial arm saw. This is a great bench saw for your home workshop. You can do all kinds of things with it like crosscutting and doing stock work. You can also make them tilt which helps for cutting miters and bevels. You can also rout with them and this makes them great for drilling stock.
The blade you use is based on how thick the wood is that you will cut. If you choose a saw that has a good cross cutting ability then that is best. The Dewalt radial arm saw is a great one to try for yourself. It is high-quality and long lasting. It can be used for many different types of work as well as wood size.
A panel saw is usually in a lumberyard and are made for cutting a large slab of wood. These can cut large sheets like plywood or paneling. Some can cut a 4 x 8 piece sheet of wood and others can cut a 4 x 12 sheet of wood with no problem.
Contractors may also use these when constructing a new home or improving upon an existing one. Some are stationary and others are portable so you can find one that meets any of your needs. Since they are so easy to take around you can use the for a wide variety of projects.
