Whats the benefit of a slider? Purchasing first time saw and wondering what I'm missing out on. Dual bevel vs single bevel? Slider vs not?

A slider allows you to cut wider pieces at the expense of accuracy, unwieldy size, higher weight, and more dollars.

How big is the stuff that you need to miter? This one can cross cut up to 8" and put a 45° miter on a 6" piece.

Slider allows for longer cuts, i.e. a wider plank of wood. Dual bevel allow for angled cuts towards both the left and the right. With a single bevel, you would need to rotate the wood 180 degrees to cut the other direction.

SLIDER SAW will allow you to cut joints in the wood also cut grooves if needed.

I have had this for years... Love it.

Wish it had the sliding option to do bigger boards, but for the price, can't complain.

90% of my cuts are on 2×4 to 2×8, so I can't complain. I use a circular saw on everything else.

I got this a couple years back. It's a solid machine. I wish Dewalt didn't have purposely neutered it to prevent adding the light attachment.

The only drawback is cutting larger boards. For example, if you are cutting a 6" trim you have to put the long side of the board opposite the motor. Otherwise the motor hits the board and you are stuck with 3/4 of a cut.

Yes, it is nice to have a non-sliding saw, and 12" is large. I have a sliding saw and a non-sliding (10") and i use the non-sliding and circular saw almost exclusively.

How much accuracy is compromised. I'm looking to buy miter for baseboard molding, and may be building racks in garage for storage using 2x12.
I'm more inclined towards a dual bevel for convenience when cutting moldings, not sure if sliding saw will make things better.

The sliding mechanism always introduces some slop. How much depends on the saw, but I've relegated my flagship DeWalt slider to construction materials and rarely even use it for that since a circular saw suits that need just fine.

Unless your baseboard is super extra tall, I recommend a fixed miter saw for that and use a circular saw with a guide like a speed square for cutting your 2x12s.
