Ridgid R4123 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw

The R4123 is a 12-inch dual-bevel compound with an internally powered LED shadow line and Ridgid's lifetime service agreement, which owners cite as a reason to buy. It chops thick stock smoothly and comes in at a hobbyist price. It doesn't arrive dialed in, and there's no blade brake, so plan on setup time.

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.
