GMC 10" SCMS?

I know you get what you pay for, so I shouldn't bother asking this question,
but has anyone tried this saw?
I want a miter saw for occassional use. Now I am using my table saw for
everything, but it is a nuisance and doesn't do a great job anyhow. I don't
need something that will work 24/7 because that isn't how I will be using
it. On the other hand, something that cuts plus or minus 2 degrees isn't
worth anything.

So, what about the GMC? If it cuts accurately, it is a hell of a bargain
for $190.

Toller,

I am not a fan of GMC gear, though I do have a nailgun of theirs and have
had no problems with it.

For your stated purpose it may be just the ticket. Ozito also are bringing
out some cheap stuff but I strongly recommend you stay well away from them.

If you invest in the saw AND a protractor to check the cut angle, it may
suffice for the occasional use you will put it to, however, if you want to
make picture frame miters - forget it. On the plus side for GMC is their
return and warranty policy.
