Perhaps a used on off Craigslist or Ebay? Alternatively, maybe you could
borrow or rent a 10" saw for those projects? I bought a 10" Hitachi at Home
Depot and use it a lot more often than I thought I would for DIY. At the
time, I attended the HD woodworking workshop for 30 minutes one Saturday and
got a 15% off coupon that I used to buy the saw.

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
