==Description==
The miter saw is a great tool for cutting down materials of relatively thin width into sections of varying length. This could be chopping down 2x4's to make several pieces of equal length or cutting 8020 aluminum extrusions at angles to make a frame. Being a compound miter saw, you can cut materials with a width of up to 12 inches at a 90 deg. miter or 8.25 inches at a 45 deg. miter. This specific model also has laser alignment to accurately place the material on the cutting surface and make a cut. Integrated clamps allow you to hold the material while cutting without you having to hold down the material yourself, reducing the risk of injuries.

==Training==
Training is required to use this tool. The training module will be posted [https://myelms.umd.edu/courses/1274047 here].

==Tips & Tricks==
* Use the inbuilt laser to position your material according to the cutline you made.
* Always ease the blade into the material. Not doing so can often cause the blade to bind or worse, kickback, which can lead to injuries.
* Integrated clamp can be used to hold down the material when cutting.
