DeWalt DWS779 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw

The DWS779 is one of the most popular 12-inch dual-bevel sliders, and owners rate it accurate out of the box at around 400 dollars. It's the value pick against DeWalt's own pricier DWS780. The main gap is dust collection and the lack of the DWS780's XPS cutline, and unit-to-unit accuracy can vary.

Ryobi TSS120L 12-Inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw

The TSS120L is the cheapest 12-inch slider that owners don't write off, and reviewers report it cutting accurately out of the box with plenty of power. The tall fence handles most crown nested. It's single-bevel with some rail and fence limits, and the stock blade is loud, so it rewards a blade upgrade.
