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

I bought this saw to construct new kitchen/bathroom cabinet doors for my home, and it performs flawlessly. Out of the box, everything was to specifications except the 45 degree detent needed a slight tweak. The manual is clearly written, and this process was very simple. The saw will be very easy to keep true as I use it more. Although the Craftsman 60T blade that came with the saw is a fine blade, I did upgrade to a CMT 80T finish blade to get a finer cut on the cabinet doors. Dust collection is somewhat iffy, but I have never had high expectations or results in this area from any miter saw I have used.

I researched a lot of saws before I settled on this unit. While I might have chosen a heavier duty unit if I were making my living with this saw, I could not see shelling out an additional $300+ for a different brand with the same features for my purposes. I look forward to many other projects using this saw.
