what is the cheapest miter saw on the market?
Answers:
A back saw and miter box. <$7
Harbor Freight tools online lists an 8-1/4'' Compound Miter Saw for <$90, but they have sales all the time and you can find unexpected savings.
Home Depot lists 8 1/4 In. Miter Saw W/Laser Line,
Model WF814UL, for $59. Available in stores only, not online.
I got mine from a used tool store at just over half list price.
You might also try EBay but please remember that the shipping winds up being part of the total price after the bid and these can be relatively heavy items.
Other answers:
Every flea market seems to have several vendors selling both new and used power tools. You can often find very inexpensive tools including mitre boxes. Be aware that "off brand" power tools are not usually high quality but may suffice for occasional use.
Although it will take an investment in time, keep an eye on local estate auctions. I have bought many very high quality tools at dirt cheap prices at these auctions. In addition to listings in the local newspaper, most auction companies now offer a comprehensive list of the contents of upcoming estate sales on the internet.
If you intend to use a power mitre box fairly often, remember that "the bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of a cheap price is forgotten". Buy the best tools you can afford, take good care of them, and they will last you a lifetime.
