Seen a new Hitachi sliding miter is coming out. Looks similar to the Makita especially with the compact rail design. I like how you get both a laser and a light. Concord Carpenter posted a video on instagram about it.
This was posted over at Toolguyd’s forum…..

one thing I dont like about it is it is setup for being used with your right hand but not your left.

Become right handed? lol
Just be glad that ALL the good circ saws are made for you lefty’s 😛 don’t get me wrong I like the worm drives but hey.
@Cr8ondt sometimes certain cuts are easier using one hand over the other. I prefer blade right saws myself which i use with my left hand. Miters I use with both hands.
New battery tablesaw too….. crack me up ..” all the good saws are for lefties”
Miter to the Left I stand on right hold material with right hand and lower Saw with left
miter to the right I stand on left hold material with left and and cut with right
Come to think of it I would assume all Miter Saw users must use both hands
