How to Use a 10 Dual Sliding Compound Miter Saw

The 10-inch dual sliding compound miter saw has a distinct advantage over many other miter saws in that it has the capability to extend similarly to a radial arm saw. Operating on a set of slide bars, this saw enables the user to cut wide boards, unlike other miter saws. The bevel adjustment will swing to either side of the dual sliding compound miter saw. When cutting long pieces, the dual bevel allows the saw to move, eliminating the need to turn the workpiece around.
