The Milwaukee 6955-20 Sliding Compound Miter Saw

The sliding compound miter saw might be a must-have item in your construction tools arsenal.  A cut-above (pardon the pun) its “lesser” sisters the cut-off saw, chop saw and any miter saw without a slide, there are many reasons you might find you can’t live any more without a sliding miter saw.

The greatest advantage of a sliding miter saw over a normal compound miter saw is that you can crosscut wider lumber in a single pass.  Sure, any miter saw can make a chop-cut in a two-by-four.  But what if you’re cutting something bigger?  How about a two-by-ten or more?  Without a sliding miter saw, you’ll start a cut on one end, then turn the wood over and cut in hopes of meeting close to the middle (unless I’m the only one who does that)!

There is so much you need to investigate when looking for a miter saw.  Which miter saw you ultimately decide upon will depend on how you are going to use it.  But there are a few important options that you should consider.  Does the saw have soft start, but achieves full speed fast?  If you’re concerned about making precise cuts into high-dollar hardwood, fine adjustment controls with a digital readout will be critical.  How about light controls?  If you’re going to spend money on a new saw, you shouldn’t have to lug around extra lighting ever!  Another important thing to consider is bevel and miter controls.  Any saw worth its sawdust has to be able to adjust to over 45 degrees.  Speaking of sawdust, how is dust collection accomplished?  What percent of dust is collected in the bag?

So now you understand the importance of being educated when choosing a sliding miter saw, since it will probably be the very last miter saw you buy.  Hopefully I’ve been a little helpful; and with any luck I’ll be able to help a little more by showing you a sliding saw that fits all the criteria above and so much more.

The Milwaukee 6955-20 sliding dual bevel miter saw is truly a saw worth considering.  It has received praise from sources both online and in print.

Editors of Wood Magazine named the Milwaukee 6955-20 on of the top tools for 2009, saying the saw is “loaded with user-friendly features.”  The table rotates extremely smoothly, and the fine angle adjustments and dust control are outstanding.

Fine Homebuilding praised the Milwaukee 6955-20 as the best in its class.  Miter angles can be digitally set to the nearest tenth of a degree, and the twin lights for illuminating the work area are judged more useful than a laser guide.  The dust control is excellent.
