Compound miter saw
Probably the most versatile tools you will ever buy is a compound miter saw, which is why all serious woodworkers have one. They are certainly worth the cost since making a compound cut usually is difficult without one. A miter saw should be amongst the first tools that you add to your shop because trying to be a woodworker without one is difficult.
In regards to the price of miter saws there is often a pretty big difference in what you will pay from one miter saw to another. Usually the difference in cost is determined by what kind of miter saw, the size and the quality. Usually it is best to purchase the highest quality saw that your budget will allow, you will appreciate the advantages of owning a good saw. You will save a lot of hassle and make your projects a lot easier if you get a top quality compound miter saw. It is almost always a wise investment.

There are normally three different sizes of compound miter saw, eight, ten and twelve inches. When we talk about a miter saws size we are really speaking about how big the blade is. The larger the piece of wood that you want to cut the larger the blade you will need. Even though you can get miter saws in three different sizes the eight inch saw is so restricted in what you can do with it that its really not even worth considering. The ten and twelve inch miter saws are really the only ones you are going to need to decide between. It is rare that most woodworkers will ever encounter a piece of wood that is too large for a ten inch saw so that is normally large enough for most needs. The twelve inch miter saw is aimed mainly at professional carpenters who frequently need to cut through larger pieces.
Something else you will need to consider is whether you need a standard miter saw, a compound miter saw or a sliding compound miter saw. The standard miter saw is limited to cutting miters which puts a limit on how useful it is and makes it hardly worth considering. The compound miter saw is capable of cutting both miters and bevels; this makes it much more useful. The sliding compound miter saw has the advantage of being able to cut larger pieces of wood since you can pull the saw through the wood after you have lowered it. As you go from the standard miter saw to the compound miter saw to the sliding compound miter saw the cost increases of course. At a minimum you should probably choose a compound miter saw but this is largely a matter of personal preference.
