Thanks for the heads up. I added it to the post. I prefer Amazon, personally, since I get 5% cashback with Amazon Prime Store Card. 👍

This thing is a beast. Love it and would jump if I didn't already have one. It is very heavy so not easily moved without the cart.

As someone new to sawing and trying to fix stuff at home. Should I get a compound miter saw or a table saw?

Bruh I'm in the exact same boat, and I even ordered the big ass Hercules miter saw from HF. However, during the month long waiting, still not available for pick-up, I've diven into it more and decided that table saw it's actually fitting more of my needs.

Basically, table saw with jigs can somewhat accomplish what miter saw can do at a lot slower pace, but not vice versa, at least safely. Speaking of safety, table saw is lot more dangerous imo, but manageable with disciplines. Given the cost and spatial limitations, I jumped ship to table saw since I cannot get both for now.

That being said, if you do not need to rip cut or make furnitures (medium to big siz), miter saw is completely fine. Just be aware if buying the sliding ones, must calculate in the space needed for the rail unless it has a front slider.

Another thing I learned, tho way too late, is that don't just keep buying power tools, try some small projects with hand tools first and see if you really enjoy doing them. I spent too much time "studying and admiring on YouTube" than actually building stuff...

They both are pretty important, but I would lean towards a miter saw first. Also, if you are inexperienced, a table saw can be a little tricky/dangerous. If you have a circular saw, it will do a lot of what a table saw does, and it easier to store.

I was in the same boat and decided to get a miter saw first. For the few times I saw myself making long cuts it made more sense to buy a track and use it as a guide with my circular saw. Less cost, easier to store and waaay safer. Table saws and jointers are the main source of severe injuries in DIY settings. I decided "why take the risk?"

Great miter saw. You can upgrade this with the shadow light and make it a 780. Good (easy) upgrade and I think it's worth it.
