What's better, Mitre Saw, Compound Mitre Saw, Slide Compound Saw or Table Saw

Id use a router over a lathe, they make me nervous lol I've seen more injuries and close calls from wood lathes.

A few dozen more guards needed adding and a risk assessment/operations manual created upon arrival back at the yard ;-)

Hey Todd,
Long time.

Anyways mate, If it was me,( And I run my own HandyMan business now) I'd by a

Ryobi 2200W 305mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/01/114.jpgfrom Bunnings.

You will do nearly all cutting you ever need to, you could buy a few different blades for this saw, so you have a finishing blade for architraves (60 tooth), and a multi purpose(40 tooth) and an aluminium cutting blade.

If you have a slide compound, you never need another saw on the bench. If get a mitre saw, one day you'll need the slide and wont have it.

I was Ryobi everyday cant fault them.

But as always choice is yours

Hand held circular saw.
Makita LS1016 compound mitre slide saw
Triton work bench (table saw)

All were very useful building our place. The Makita replaced an old Ryobi drop saw I had which karked it a day or two after the framing timber arrived. Swore at the time about the unexpected cost of replacement, but looking back having a compound slide saw made many tasks so much easier, & some possible that I couldn't have done without the old saw.
