Miter Saws
The original miter saws were simply hand saws held in a contraption that allowed for accurate angled miter cuts. Soon, electric versions of the miter saw were developed and these consisted of a circular saw fixed to a swiveling base. Continued improvements in technology and design resulted in the compound miter saw, which had the ability to miter and bevel at the same time, thus increasing the versatility of the saw. One limitation of these miter saws was the width of the stock they could cut. To increase cutting capacity manufacturers created the sliding compound miter saw. The saw is on a sliding track so that it can move back and forth across the cutting plane, greatly increasing the maximum stock width that the saw can handle.
