Combination Miter/Table Saws (BUILDER Online)

It's my understanding that combination miter/table saws like the Felisatti NTF 250 RI and NTF 250 RP have been available in Europe for many years, but they haven't found their way to American job sites because their makers figured the cost was too high for the U.S. market. Fortunately, this thinking has changed, and the two saws — which seem perfect for many trim carpentry and hardwood flooring projects — are now available in the U.S. Both can miter and bevel a 2x6, and the attached table saw can rip 2-by stock. The NTF 250 RI costs $845 and the NTF 250 RP (shown) costs $795. 800/626-9012.

Tool Equipment Review: Hitachi C12LSH Sliding Compound Miter Saw (Journal of Light Construction)

Before sliding miter saws existed, I cut stair treads with my sweet little 12-point handsaw and a marking knife. After that I used the Delta Sawbuck for a while, a truly awful tool that was like a Skilsaw riding on two rails. In the years since then I've been through a number of miter saws; for the last five, I've been doing my stair-building work with a 12-inch Hitachi C12FSA sliding compound miter saw. From the beginning, I liked this tool; I figured, hey, what else could you want from a saw?
