5 Best Sliding Compound Miter Saw Reviews 2021: Which One Came Out The Winner?

1. DEWALT DWS779

The three-year warranty that DEWALT has on this model protects you against problems that can occur in the future. You shouldn’t have any problems with the motor on this one because it is a 15-amp model that produces a total of 3,800 revolutions in a minute. It comes with clear markings along the base too.

Another benefit found on this model is its dependable dust collection system, which can actually remove up to 75% or more of the dust and debris coming off your boards, though this does limit the larger dust collection systems that you can use. Its back fencing works with boards of 12-inches to 16-inches long and allows you to make cuts at 45-degree and 90-degree angles.

Though the dust collection system is a nice feature, this system uses a cheaper form of rubber that keeps this model from being compatible with larger and more efficient dust systems. You’ll also find that it kicks on quickly and doesn’t give you much warning, which can result in it pulling a board right out of your hands. The three-year warranty that DEWALT offers on this product does give you a little relief in the future though.

2. Craftsman V20 CMCS714M1 

This Craftsman model comes with a 7-1/4 inch blade that is a little smaller than those found on other models, but this is a carbide blade that lasts longer than steel or aluminum ones do. With a 3,800 RPM rating, this model will make those clean cuts faster too.

Inside this product is a 15-amp motor that produces more torque and horsepower for making those cuts. It comes with a miter adjustment of between zero and 45 degrees and a spindle lock. You also get an extension that increases the length of the boards that you can use with this product.

Though this one does have some flaws like plastic parts that snap off easily, it comes with a useful laser light that you can use to guide your boards across the blade or to create a path that you can easily follow. Other items that come in the packaging with this model include a clamp for clamping the extension table down and a dust collection bag for catching the waste produced by all your projects.

3. RYOBI TSS102L

The built-in laser guide system on this Ryobi model extends out from the blade to create a perfectly straight line that you can easily follow when removing more from a longer board.

It also comes with an extension system designed to give you more space, though you may find that you wish it extended out more from the sides. A built-in electric brake system brings the spinning blade to a complete stop in less than a second too.

Making precise cuts is easy because this one has nine positive cuts that start at zero degrees and go up to 90 degrees, though the exact angle you can use will depend on how close you are to the blade and the type of cut you need to make. Also included is a carbide blade with extremely sharp tips that actually grab the wood and then slide off to the side to keep the wood from tearing or splintering.

You get both a clamp and a wrench blade with this model as well as a dust bag. This bag attaches to the back in seconds and comes off easily for dumping the dust collected.

4. Evolution Power Tools RAGE 3-DB

The RAGE 3-DB is one of the few multipurpose models on the market, and it has a design that lets you cut most common materials, including plastic, wood and metal. Its blade can cut up to 80 feet before it needs sharpened or replaced, though you may get less use out of it depending on the thickness and type of metal that you need to cut.

This blade leaves metal and wood completely flat and will not cause burning or scorching, and it allows wood to come out smoother without any chips or splinters.

Its miter system features nine positive stops that keep the blade from cutting too deep into your boards and materials, but it also has a bevel tilt that lets you make cuts at a 45-degree angle. A slide mechanism adjusts this angle up to 55 degrees and extends the work area available to let you cut boards of more than 12.5-inches wide.

The blade included with this product uses both carbide and tungsten and features 28 teeth, but the blade has a surround on the front that keeps your clothing and skin protected.
