I haven’t used a fixed-head 10-inch miter saw for about six years. The reason: after my last one wore out, I got a 10-inch slide compound miter saw, which has since faithfully served as the center of both my wood shop and remodeling activities.
However, sometimes all that great cut capacity is overkill. So I took a look at the new Worx WT480 10-inch fixed-head chop box, which quickly proved a useful exercise. I used the WT480 where it doesn’t make much sense to haul out the big cross-cutting guns: I installed strip flooring and small base, case and chair rail. I also made lots of one-off cuts like 2-by blocking and even whacked through PVC pipe.
