087: Circular Saw vs Miter Saw...Which is Best?

Should you buy a miter saw or circular saw?   If you’re on a budget you might only have money for one saw.   Here’s my suggestion, if you’re making miter cuts for crown molding opt of a miter saw.   Straight cuts can be done by circular saws, so if you’re doing mostly straight cuts for framing or furniture you should think about getting a circular saw.   Keep in mind that you can also cut down large sheet goods using a Kreg Rip-Cut tool attached to your circular saw. We have a tutorial on this over on Home Repair Tutor    http://www.homerepairtutor.com/cutting-plywood-and-breaking-down-sheet-goods/   Check out the Skil Warm Drive saw, this is the circular many people swear by   https://www.skiltools.com/Pages/Home.aspx   What kind of miter saw should you think about buying?   I personally like DeWalt   http://www.dewalt.com/tools.aspx         Don’t forget…you can join our free Home Repair Tutor Facebook Group if you’re a do-it-yourselfer   https://www.facebook.com/groups/hrtcommunity/         HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!   If you liked today’s show please subscribe in iTunes and write us a review!
