I like seeing more americans being employed, so this is good news! I still think Milwaukee is a bit behind Dewalt in this category though.

My new miter saw showed up at the fedex office on Saturday!

Personally I'd stay away from the tool truck cordless tools as they're generally not very competitive with Dewalt or Milwaukee. Both Dewalt and Milwaukee make excellent brushless tools, and have a pretty full line should you want to expand down the line. Hard to go wrong with either one really...

The seat bolts in my 02 Ford Focus were also T-47s.

I love Torx, and buy torx drive over philips 99% of the time; but I agree with the OP. There are too many sizes that seem redundant.

Impulse bought one of these since I was wandering around Acme. They got me again

Same here. It has become one of my favorite ratchets. I even gave one to my dad for Fathers Day last year. :beer:

I'm not about to come here and say that Milwaukee makes a poor product; in fact I think they make some fantastic products. With that said, the fact that Dewalt does at least assemble some of their tools in the US was a major factor in me choosing to go to the yellow battery standard. I know that...

You're right, there will be a few cuts that I wont be able to make with a miter saw, but I dont think that necessarily means it wont help speed up the process.

I do have a Dewalt brushless cordless circular saw (not sure on the model # off the top of my head) and have been very impressed with it. It just seems easier to me to set up a miter saw on a stand, set your stops, and chop away than to cut each piece with a circular saw. Maybe I'm wrong on that...

Thanks for the post! At the moment I'm a bit short on space, but once I build the new shop, it'll be fixed to a bench and then rarely moved again.

100% agree. All of these tasks can be done without a miter saw, but I dont want to spend that kind of time doing so if I dont have to. There's a reason no one frames a house with just hammers anymore.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on that one. With a garage to build, basement to finish, trim to install, and a shed to build. A miter saw will see a fair amount of use. It can be debated if a 10" slider will fill my needs, but a miter saw is a necessity.

Do you have a better way of cutting vinyl siding? I've never done it before and am only going off of what I've seen and heard from Youtube and friends that have used miter saws. If you know of a better way, I'm all ears. Thanks

I appreciate your input. The 12" blade size is required to get the extra cut depth you need for vinyl siding, which is anywhere from 10"-12" wide. I really dont want to have to cut siding twice.

Hello all, New member here. I'm a new homeowner and have been a general DIY guy for a while now. I'm planning on building a new shed (10'x12') this spring and a new garage (30'x28') next spring, so I find myself in need of a new miter saw. I'm pretty well sold on a 12" slider, as I...
