My circular saw is a ridgid I bought at a pawn shop 12 years ago, been abused and still smooth.

On your miter saw this should be your baseline

A 12 inch non sliding saw will frustrate you the first time you try to cut a 6" wide board at an angle

If that's your baseline, I'd get this instead. Space saver with the glide feature instead of sliding.

15 Amp 12 in. Corded Dual-Bevel Sliding Glide Miter Saw with 60 Tooth Saw Blade

I have an old Bosch slider I bought used and if I ever had money to upgrade, this is what I'd get.

Wow, I may be buying a new saw. What's the difference between the one I posted and that one? Besides $250. Basic specs are all the same, part number is 1 different

I've been trying to figure that out. I can't.

The ONLY difference I'm aware of is the 780 has an LED light that acts as a laser marker to show where you are cutting. That's it. Not worth the extra $250.

Went by home depot in Bellaire today to try and pick one up. Line down the sidewalk of people waiting to get in, they're letting one in for every one out. Started to rain. Forget that, guess I'm sticking with my non sliding chop saw for now

Just left Home Depot with one.
Waited in line outside, took 20 minutes. Not too bad.
