Horses for courses- all i'm saying is that i can very easily cut mitres with a scms.
All SCMS can tilt to 45degrees (the C stands for compound... i think!)
it does depend on the brand of saw though - i came seriously to greif before xmas trying to cut box mitre corners on my (non sliding) performance power (two lies for the price of one) cms - because the angle setting just wasnt accurate enough.
fine for first fix, and for cutting points on finger signs but for fine work - not a hope in ****.
that said brads dewalt, and the comparable bosch, festool, makita etc are a completely different fish of kettles to my £15 piece of rubbish (which hasnt been used since i got my 419 table saw, and which will go to the recyling centre shortly)
