Miter Mitre
I’m putting new moulding throughout my house. Is it worth purchasing a miter saw and electric hammer?
I want to put in new borders and possibly crown moulding in my 2000 sq. ft. house. I have already tried t putting in borders in my master bedroom using a miter box and hand saw but the cuts for the most part were very uneven even with the best of care. The nailing was also a pain. I’m now considering purchasing a cheap compound miter saw (see Harbor Freight Tools – they have a cheap one for $40) and possibly some kind of electric or air hammer.
1. Is the miter saw worth it, or should I get a table saw which may have more long-term uses?
2. What’s a good option for some kind of electric hammer? I prefer not to get into buying an air compressor, mostly due to the lack of storage space, so what options exist?
Please let me know of any specific products post links to web sites where I can get these at a low price.
Thanks a ton!
Just rent the tools you will need.
