Editor's Review: 12-in. Compound-Miter Saws

by Rick Arnold, Mike Guertin review date: July 1, 2004

This 12-in. compound-miter saw is nearly identical to the Delta 36-255L. It features dual adjustable lasers mounted on the blade housing that mark both sides of the kerf. These lasers are adjustable for accuracy and for different blades. Because they are activated with a switch, you can use them without the blade spinning. The saw comes with a 40-tooth carbide blade.
