Mitre Miter
What makes a compound miter saw “compound”?
I am considering buying a miter saw but I’m not sure that I understand what a “compound” miter saw is. Does compound mean that the blade tilts left to right as well as moving left to right on the base?
If so, does that mean that a “miter saw” does not tilt?
I am looking at the Delta Shopmaster MS-265. On one listing it is stated as being a miter saw, and on another listing it is called a compound saw – hence my confusion.
A compound miter saw will cut angle and bevel at the same time. But does not bevel left or right. Only left. A double bevel compound miter saw will however bevel in either direction. If you plan on using this saw (the delta) only in “DIY”, you will be ok. If you plan on using it daily you will be badly disappointed. It is not user friendly, the trigger is designed for right handed use only. I have had and used many different miter saws, My choice is “Dewalt 12″ double bevel” a little more pricey but well worth the extra. FYI You do not need a compound miter saw for crown, as stated in the 1st persons answer.
