does your miter saw need to be double beveled?

Answer 1

NO

Answer 2

If you are using it for around the house stuff, moldings etc, then you could probably get by with just a standard cut miter saw. If you are going to become a carpenter or something then yeah get the double bevel.

Answer 3

I do a lot of interior trim work and have never needed a double-beveled saw. My standard 10" miter saw does everything I need for a lot less money.

Answer 4

mine does because I install large crown moldings that can not fit on a standard chop saw. The size of the base board ( in height) that is capable to be cut is limited to the size blade you have. If you are putting up larger than 4" base a 10" blade will not work. If it is larger than 7" base then a 12" saw may not be big enough. If your saw is a 10" compound it would be able to cut the 7" size. I have put up 9" base board and I use a 8"slide compound saw. Know what you need it for and cover your realistic needs.

Answer 5

Depends on what your using it for,
Generally speaking it is faster and more accurate cutting say architraves moving the mitre left and right, as opposed to pivotng the head of the mitre saw.

You really only need the double beveled saw when you get into roofing and so on, where you need the slide to cut the mitre simply coz of the size of timber,

So it really comes down to what you are trying to use the saw for.

Answer 6

What you want is called a compound saw, not a miter saw. If that helps any.

Answer 7

i do commercial interior trim work and i use a 14" dewalt compond mitre saw; however for most home use that would be overkill. a 10" mitre saw would suffice for most jobs around the house.

also it depends on the size of the trim and the moldings you would be cutting. good luck.

Answer 8

Mitre saws are only meant to cut single angles. Table saws and radial arm saws cut compound angles

Answer 9

No, I don't think it does.

Answer 10

NO.
