    Ok, got the miter saw, and several blades from 18 -60 teeth. Not sure what a triple chip blade, can you elaborate a little, maybe a link where I can get one.

    There's a picture here, if you scroll down. http://www.oldham-usa.com/Products/S...components.htm

    If you don't have one, use the highest tooth count you have.

    Ok, thanks. I have a 60 tooth, you suggest buying that triple chip, or a higher tooth blade, or you think the 60 I have would work?

    It should work, just go slow.

    If you're making a lot of cuts, you might want to use a little WD40 for lubricant.
