I am a cabinetmaker, and besides my Hitachi 81/2" slider, this is the only miter saw I have used that is accurate enough to be used for cabinetmaking. I checked every setting after lifting it out of the box, and it was dead-nuts accurate at all of them. This, as compared to my former saws (Dewalt and Delta), which required tons of fussing to get them right on, and wouldn't hold the setting through any heavy usage. I bought the LS 1221 version (comes with supports and clamp) at [local store] for... a great price.
