I'm picking up a new 12" power miter saw this weekend. There are 3 that are pretty close in price: Delta, Ryobi, and Bosch (about $20 more). What do people recommend? Any experiences with any of them?

TIA

Steve

Sorry, I HATE DeWalt tools as they fall apart so fast. Why do you need a 12" saw???
I prefer the smaller saws and especially the 8" Hitachi compound slide saw. Blade speed is important too for clean cuts. Those giant 12" saws are hard to use IMHO and keep in alignment....

I have a 12" (at least thats what I told her (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) ) but the only reason I purchased it was that I was restoring a 135 year old house with ass-loads of crown molding.
