First Miter Saw I Used Was Cordless - What About You?

One of the good things about cutting liters by hand is there is really no dust, just a little sawdust that doesn't fly around the room. Cleanup is nothing.

and it's quiet. Which is often important where/when I'm working.

Good point. Except for some cussing and swearing on occasion, the only load noises was the framing hammer and circ saw when I started out.

still use it.
Nice and quiet

I had one, from sears, quite a piece of equipment. Later, got a Hitachi chop saw. What a beast.

Delta 9"..... thought it was the best thing in the world!

I think you're right you should put it in the office. If you haven't yet. Lol

What I remember most was each nail driven into the miter corner - first you had to turn it tip up and blunt the point with a single hammer blow so it wouldn't split the wood.

Come to think of it, mine was too. Used it for balsa wood control line model airplanes. I can still smell the nitromethane and castor oil.

Learning to make cuts to 1/64th accuracy as a kid probably both helped and hindered my building career.

I was always envious of these. By the time I was able to get one, this nice, a power one was within reach.

I still use one occasionally. Just yesterday, I had to cut 3 pieces of trim. When I got out the old Makita miter saw, my son laughed a little. He said he was sure I would have cut them by hand. Usually this is when it comes out.

I would like to have a Lion miter though.

Remember that. I was only a couple years ago, I realized I didn't even have hand drive nails in the truck.

That happens to me too. I end up digging through the junk in the bottom of the tool box trying to find a few small finishing nails.

I’ve cut them off the strip several times. But having hand drives is long gone. I’ve been thinking about it. I don’t really know when I stopped carrying them
