Normally $379 - much more portable than a bigger miter saw, yet still able to cut nominal 2x8s. Goes well with the various ridgid battery deals that have been posted in the last few months.

It shows $279 for me.

I have this saw and it is great, obviously not as powerful as my 12" miter saw. It works for 99% of my projects and is super light. I hang it on the wall when I am not using it to save space on my workbench.

Really like the idea of hanging it on a wall. What did you use as a mounting solution?

For someone who will probably only ever own 1 type of saw like this, would I be better off waiting on a larger one?

Very well reviewed saw that was previously discontinued in 2016-2017?

It used to be $349 WITH a 5AH battery back then though! Now they are asking $379 for the bare tool?
$279 is a bit more of a reasonable price on this, I really think this should really be the normal price for this tool.

I am tempted to pick one up, since I already have plenty of batteries.

Without more information such as what you plan on cutting with it, I'd say yes, you should wait. Although hanging on a wall has me second-guessing whether I need my current 12-inch. laugh out loud
If you are actually mitering with it, then you need to think about the depth with consideration of your angle i.e. diagonal cutting

I recommend getting the smallest saw that has the cut capacity for the things that you really need to miter.

For example, if large crown moulding or really tall baseboard is in your future, then go big. But if you are only mitering regular stuff like normal baseboard, door/window trim, brickmold, etc. then something like this (or maybe a non-sliding 10") will be plenty sufficient without the extra cost, weight, and size of the bigger saws.

I thought the same, but this is a sliding miter, so you can do wider cuts as if it had a larger blade. I have the ryobi one and it is super limited as its not sliding. Debating on this one also.

You're limited on thickness— you can't cut a 4x4 with this for example (unless you flip it).

For me the big plus with this is portability. If you've ever hauled a 12, or even a 10 inch miter saw up onto a roof or out to a job site, you'd see the advantage in a 7 1/4 inch miter saw. Having it sliding means that for wide cuts you can replace a non-sliding 10 or even 12 inch miter. But as people have noted, for thick cuts you need something else. This won't do it big crown molding or 4 x4s or the like.

Just some rubber coated screw hooks mounted into studs. There is 16" spacing between some holes on the back side of the saw.

I am a casual DIYer, don't do projects every weekend. Originally bought 12" dual bevel, then bought 7-1/4 sliding cordless. Almost never used 12" since then unless I'm cutting multiple boards in one pass or anything thicker than 2" which is very rare in my case and can be done with smaller saw with multiple pass. I love the fact that it's light weight, cordless and blades are very affordable and easy to find. I own like 10 x 7-1/4 blades for different applications and probably paid less than single 80 tooth 12" blade. If I decide to expand my arsenal with a table saw, then I would consider buying 10" cordless sliding miter.
