I believe that compound sliding miter saws have progressed to the point where their predecessor (radial arm saw) was before it fell out of grace with the safety gods and was doomed! Great accuracy is not worth squat if your degree indicators are in 1 degree incriments and can not replicate them! Case in point, on my powermatic 64 table saw the bevel indicator is correct, kinda. If I want 20 degrees I still must put the Wixley gauge on the blade because the indicator may be off .50 degrees. That doesn't sound like much but it will leave a noticeable crack in the joint.
