This is my fourth miter saw, and the best yet by far. My previous slider, a Bosch 10 “, was a good saw, but dust extraction was a huge problem – the design permitted clouds of dust to rise into the air, making it impossible to use in a customer ‘ s home, even with dust extraction. The Milwaukee, in contrast, is superb – the support arm is designed to channel the dust back into the bag and the bulk of it is captured. It would have been nice, though, it they had provided an adapter for the rectangular exhaust port to attach to a shop vac. The digital readout at the front is gimmicky and not all that useful, and the lack of a 90? bevel stop is a serious flaw. Also, a hold – down would have been an occasional help. On the other hand, the high fences allow you to cut crown molding in the standard manner instead of flat, which is a huge time – saver and which makes fine – tuning the cuts much more amenable. Also, the dual headlights, the light weight and relatively quiet soft start motor are all very convenient. It ‘ s not a perfect tool, but is still a quantum leap in technology and well worth the cost.
