Or maybe, you can buy my 12" Delta compound miter saw for cheap and give 
me a reason to upgrade to the new Hitachi that I've been eyeing!!! 8>)

a song!)

Subject: [Shop-talk] Mitre Saws

This has probably been cussed and discussed here but since I am fairly new
to this forum, I need to ask for help/advice please......

I want to buy a mitre saw for use on home projects only. I am not a
carpenter but have several projects in mind as part of the "restoration" 
of this 105 year old craftsman style house we bought a few years ago.

I just looked at saws at home depot and realized I have a dilema: I only
want to spend around $200 at the most but the saws in my price range can
only handle up to 6" boards. The base boards I need to replace in two 
rooms
are around 8".

Am I screwed unless I buy a bigger saw which would pretty much be wasted 
on
this "hobbiest" wood worker?

TIA
