What happens here

For those in the market for a miter saw, the creator highly recommends purchasing a 'sliding' compound miter saw. This type of saw allows the blade to slide forward and backward along rails, significantly increasing the cutting capacity for wider boards. The sliding mechanism can also be locked in place when not needed.

Goal: Understand the benefits of a sliding miter saw for purchasing decisions.

actually at zero before we make our cut. So, take our speed square here, put it on our table, and push it right up to our blade. This should be square. If it's not square, make your adjustments back here on the bevel. Now, if you haven't bought a saw yet, I highly recommend that you get one that slides and this can lock as well. Now, you have a no hands zone right here. This no hands zone ensures that you keep your fingers, all right? So, if you're going to cut with the board on this side, keep your hand here and pull down here.
