Miter saw	Miter saws are saws mounted on a swing arm to produce angled cuts on workpieces. Miter saws are rated by the size of their blades which range from 7-12 inches. Other features to look for include: positive stops, which are factory set points that allow precise cuts on specific angles; self-retracting blade guards, which keep the guard clear of the stock; electric brakes, which reverse the flow of electricity in the saw motor when the trigger is released; shaft locks, which make changing the blade easier; dust bags for dust collection; table extensions,which mount on the sides of the saw to balance longer workpieces; sliding fences, which give added support to tall stock and portable stands, which give the saw a sturdy stand base.
