The other half of the vital DIY equation is a powerful saw, something that can cleanly and precisely chop through any crafting materials you throw at it. There are a few different options for DIY saws, with circular saws being a popular introductory choice, but if you’ve got the space and commitment for it, a miter saw may be a better option, especially if it’s one as flexible as Ryobi’s.
Ryobi’s 10 in. Corded Sliding Compound Miter Saw is an absolute beast of a workshop implement, slicing cleanly through wood, plastic, and more with the power of a 15 amp, 4,600 RPM motor. The sliding head can handle cross cuts of up to 12 inches, while the extended miter can be adjusted by up to 47 degrees left and right, providing you with the greatest flexibility in positioning and cutting. The device also features an LED cutline indicator and work light, clearly outlining a prospective cutline to maximize precision.
The Ryobi Corded Sliding Compound Miter Saw is available at Home Depot for $269.00, where it has a user rating of 4.6 out of 5. Repair and DIY YouTuber Wesley Allen has owned this model of miter saw for multiple years, subjecting it to consistent workshop usage the entire time, and has never experienced any problems. As an added flex, he demonstrated the saw’s ability to cut cleanly through shin bones to give to his dogs.
