What is the one best type of saw to buy for home remodeling. We have a circular saw already.?
I have heard of compound miter saws, chop saws, table saws, etc. We have finish work to do from the walls out in basement, attic, garage and room over garage, and repair and renovation in the rest of the house. What shall we purchase rather than rent by the day or week?

Suggestion by jay p
a regular chop saw, 10″ will trim it all. it cuts up to 45 degrees either way . it will handle up to 6″ crown molding.( extreme need)
Suggestion by Turnhog
That’s hard to say because I need and use all of my saws: compound miter saw, jig saw, reciprocating saw, table saw, etc. But I probably use the miter saw the most, especially for trim related work.
Where can I buy a case for my DeWalt DW368 Circular Saw?
I bought this saw (new) at my local hardware store. It was on sale for quite cheap, although it didn’t come with the hard plastic case. If it wasn’t on sale, I probably would have spent the extra $ on the case anyway, so I’m wondering if there’s a site were I can buy just the case. I live in Canada, so I can’t buy directly from the DeWalt site.

I’d ask the manager of your local hardware store to order you the case.

Try E-Bay I’d think you could find both new and used cases for your model saw there…very reasonably, too.

I have three types of saws, table, compound miter, band saw.
As a homeowner, one really doesnt need a compound miter saw. The same can always be achieved using a table saw. Crown molding is an example, One can “cope” the crown molding inside corners then lay flat on the table say and cut with extreme accuracy the out side corners. There are exact tables available for the set angles on tablesaws.
Compound miter saws are a must when one works with beams such as 4 x 6 or 4 x 4.
However, in the long run, the tablesaw for the homeowner far surpasses in utility all the other saws, Learn how to use one and you can even build cabinets with it.
Look on www. craigslist.org and find almost new 10 inch cast iron Craftsman table saws for like $ 75. People buys these and dont have the faintest idea why except to have one.
table saw and dewalt makes the best one
A saws – all cordless robe from home dept
It depends on level of detail in the work. If you have some framing demo to do, a reciprocating saw is a must. If you have basic trim to do a miter saw is a must. High quality millwork requires a table saw. Many times I prefer a jigsaw over a circular saw in trim work, where more practical than a miter saw or table saw.
A table saw or band saw is more versatile, but a miter saw is more practical in basic trim work.
My suggestion is if your trim work is rather basic, casing and baseboard, and you don’t plan on doing really big trim over 4 or 5″, get a decent not too expensive miter saw 12″ blade. Then look for a second hand reciprocating saw at pawn shop. And third priory would be nice second hand table saw. Brand new isn’t always better with table saws. I’ve seen auctions where you can get an old table saw like a Powermatic for cheaper than a new Craftsman. If you are familiar with the brands, you know the old Powermatic is superior to the new Craftsman.
CROSS CUT SAW 15TPI
im a cabinet guy a 10in miter saw will not do the cuts for 6in crown unless you know how to build a bed to the saw…..a 12in will do this with a bed ….never bye anything dewalt makes ….makita ….and a older delta sidekick compound mitter saws are the best …….buy used if you can get a warranty ……trim work is mostly done with your mitter saw…..door caseing …..crown …..mop boards(base boards…depends on what part of the states your from)…but you also have to keep in mind some crown and some base are to big for a 12in saw then your talking bigger money to get a sliding compound mitter saw …….i would pic out what you want for your trim and ask the dealer what you will need to cut it ……but dont let them over sell you (thats therer job ) anyway its around 2am in Idaho….maybe i should get to bed lol
I would purchase a miter saw. This will help with all the finish work. I would rent a sawzall for demolition. You will definitely need a sawzall for removing walls. I would purcase a jigsaw as well because they are inexpensive and useful for all jobs. Having a miter saw, sawzall, jigsaw, and circular saw will cover most jobs.
Miter saw (chop saw) for what you need to do now. Reciprocating saw for the renovation work.
