Craftsman 10&#34 Single Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw (21237) — 

I bought this saw about 3 weeks ago and have tackled a couple of home improvement jobs.  So here's my take having limited use with the saw.

 

PROS:

- Nice blade cuts well

- Cost (slightly less expensive than comparable saws when on sale)

- slides very smoothly

 

CONS:

- The saw I got is slightly different than the saw shown in the picture.  My base is mostly black and my tightening handle is red and black.  (Not a big deal to me but might matter to some.)   Also there is nothing that covers the two shafts that the blade slides on.

- The dust collection system is terrible.  It captures perhaps 10% of the saw dust.

- Tightening the the handle causes the saw to move 1 degree to the right.

- The base is small and light for the size of the saw.  This causes the saw to be unstable.  It really needs to be bolted down when cutting larger boards.
