Unless u need the bigger blade, and sliding I'd say it's overkill for vinyl. I got a 100 dollar no frills metabo miter saw and did over 4 rooms with vinyl and didn't have an issue. If you need a clean cut just get a higher teeth count blade.

Bought this saw a few years ago. Did our entire basement (vinyl planks, trim, etc) and multiple other house projects. Used the blade that came with the saw. Very happy with the purchase and this is a great price too

That's kinda why I'm asking lol. Don't know if it's overkill and won't be a smooth cut

This has a lot of features for 185 bucks. Maybe overkill, but for 185 it's cheaper than some single use hand saws. Also will give super clean cuts. I would go to the store and ask about the blade that will work for you.

I've looking to upgrade my old non-sliding dual bevel miter saw and this seems to be the best deal I've seen.

Can I use a 10% Lowe's coupon code and if so is there a good place to procure one from?

You'll be fine with the blade that comes with it. Usually the cut ends are hidden with baseboard/quarter round.

Stupid question time, since I don't see it on the product page.

Can this cut 4x4's? Max depth is 3.5" or more, right?
