Milwaukee - 6497-6 Sliding Compound Miter Saw
Milwaukee's sliding compound miter saw sports a number of useful features including an arbor lock for easy blade changing.
Aug 10, 2006
A lot of features make this saw the best value: the top-mounted bevel lock; the large flip fence on the left side; a great arbor lock for quick blade changes; and a detent-override lever for angles near the detents. The workpiece clamp is good, but its short reach keeps it far from the blade. The fence height is adequate; the left side can be quickly unclamped and flipped for bevel cuts.
