Tom King Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don't think I've used this in over 20 years. I bought it new in 1974, and used it for more than 20 years trimming out houses before someone finally made a power miter saw that I liked. I volunteered to finish a room for a Lady who lets me keep stuff her Man gave me in a garage that she doesn't use. Long story short, it needed a little crown molding, and rather than worry about moving a miter saw, I just drug this back out. It makes a little bit of a mess, but it's all in one small location, which is easy to clean up with a Shop Vac. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my DeWalt Miter Saw might be the loudest tool in my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree.. I dislike using a power miter saw for this reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted August 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 The rest of that house is finished. That room was the last one that hadn't been cleaned out of all the hoarding, but recently was. We finished the sheetrock with no sanding too, so I think we're going to be able to finish the whole room with almost no mess made. The floor is getting tile. That subfloor was put down in 1991. The miter box is really not That much slower than using a powered one. Sliding the piece under the saw, or taking the saw out, and putting it back are the biggest time differences. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
