When I was in the residential construction biz, the Hitachis were the hot compound miter saws.

: I need (well, want) to buy a compound miter saw to use in replacing molding
: around our house, and possibly helping with a stripper I plan to build in
: the future.

: I'm looking at the Delta 36-085 that cuts both right and left bevels, or the
: Delta MS275 or MS250 that cut only right bevels. Difference in price is
: about $100 between the 36-085 and MS275. The 36-085 is also an
: 'Industrial" model compared to the "shopmaster" level for
: the MS series. Both levels use 15 amp motors.

: Any recommendations -- Delta or otherwise? These are 10" saws. How
: important is it to be able to make both right and left bevel cuts?
