Hitachi invented slide compound mitre saws, their designed for carpenters on the go every day, soft start motors draw less amps then dewalt's and others, you can tell by watching the lights dim from different makers. The lasers are great especially for crown moldings and wide boards if you are following a pencil line. You can adjust them side to side to accomodate different width blades and cut on the right or left of the line. You might consider a used craftsman 12" radial arm saw for a permanent bench installation, they never get used much after christmas and sell cheap, compliment that with a ten inch hitachi slide saw for quicky's.
I DO cut alotta shit!
