Am I reading this wrong or s there no stop for 45 degree miter? If not, why not have a stop for the most common miter cut?

This saw has several positive lock stops both sides, including 45 degrees. I'm not sure what's missing from the description, but they're there. I have owned 2 of these and been very satisfied with both.

Mine has stops for 45 degrees -- both positive and negative. I've found that Rockler is really good to deal with and helpful, if you have product questions. I've called them about a couple things over the years, and they were always willing to find an answer for me, so you can also check with them about this saw, but it does have stops for common miter cuts.

The Nobex Proman has a spring-loaded red push-bar that locks at multiple points on either side of the 90 degree starting point, including 45 degree cuts on either side.

Left maximum angle is 50 degrees and to the right it is 60 degrees as per the marks on the miter gauge. The maximum height of the cut when cutting a block of wood is 3 5/8" high when cutting a perpendicular crosscut.

As far as I am aware, there is no angle/corner, be it inside or outside that this tool will not read.Pay attention to the exact reading/degrees, set your miter saw accordingly, make your cuts and get perfect joints first time, always. This is a really useful tool.

PDF of the manual states that 2x8's at 90 degree miter and 2x6's at 45% miter can be cut; this holds for the 45 degree bevel on both cuts.

You don't need a miter box to use this saw unless you are cutting precise angles. I don't even think it has enough blade clearance to use a miter box. Also remember, this hacksaw was designed to cut metal not wood.

I have used it for both, but I also have a good miter saw with calibrated pivot for a easy angle adjustment. I think you will find the angle adjustment a PITA for lots of wood work. I have no idea what would happen to the blade for long term wood cutting but it walks through metal fast so I suspect it would last a long time. Also note I don;t think it has a blade brake like wood miter saws, watch those fingers. It's is a excellent cutting machine.

The biggest difference is the bevel of the saw will go to 55° Instead of just 45'. It has a little smaller skid plate because the corner is mitered off.

Well you've already received 2 responses but for what it's worth I did receive a material clamp with my saw. Similar in design & function as the one I use on my Porter Cable 12". As for any slop or undesirable movement when fully extended I can say that I haven't experienced any problems. If you don't have a bench top to place your saw, I would highly recommend the Dewalt DWX723 Heavy Duty Miter Saw Stand. Easy to set up, you can set up either side for material support or positive stop if you plan on cutting material the same length over & over again. It is absolutely solid & I've been impressed with the design. Hope this helps you. Good Luck.

Aaron,The saw has a stop that limits how far the blade will go down and at a 45 degree the saw stops before it is fully through the bottom of the board. So, the answer is no.

As do most 10 inch miter saw,s ! You should be capable of accurately cutting up t and including 6 inch Base. I would not recommend trying anything deeper ,Especially with compound applications as it is difficult enough without improperly utilizing the Miter saw . I know it is poss. to manipulate your material and tool to complete certain cuts , but!! acquiring an accurate and clean miter will be very difficult as well as the tool is very dangerous with approved use . I would recommend you step up to a Sliding compound and poss. 12 inch if deep base and multiple miters are on your schedule? Other than that I have had this particular saw for only a week , first reconditioned power tool I have purchased and at the price I think its a great dael and tool so far?

Not as equipped. I constructed an auxiliary fence that holds the stock at the 45 degrees. It is actually more of an additional table rather than a fence with a strip on the bottom to be placed in the miter slide groove and then I use two small machinist clamps to hold it in place. This saw is much more stable and with far less blade wobble than any other out there. Good luck. If I can be of further assistance just ask.

I wouldnt be to concerened with adjusting the blade to the miter slot, not important. Adjust your fence to the blade, because that is what you guild off of not the slot. 1/64 off is not bad for a contractor grade saw that is portable.

Don't try it with this piece of crap. You should set the bevel on your circular saw or table saw to 45 degrees, and then run the blade across the wide side of the board. Do not try to set the miter and the bevel of a table saw at the same time, or else one side of your board will push more material through and your blade will bind up.

I haven't tried to do it, but the product overview states "Cutting capacity; crosscut at 0-Degree miter, 0-Degree level 2-3/4 in. x 12 in.; Miter at 45-Degree miter, 0-Degree bevel 2-3/4 in. x 8-1/4 in.; Bevel at 0-degree miter, 45-Degree level 1-9/16 in. x 12 in.; Compound at 45-degree miter, 45-Degree bevel 1-9/16 in. x 8-1/4 in.", so it looks like you could do it at a zero degree miter but not at 45 degrees.

Any angle, those are just positive stops.... I love this saw, I recommend getting a couple different blades for the hard or soft woods....

The 90 degree straight down is very accurate . The miter is adjusted by the operator. If it's adjusted correctly it will be accurate. Only draw back is there's no miter angle scale on the saw. Use a speed square or a angle finder and mark the base. It's a very good saw!
