My brother bought a Ridgid miter saw to replace his aging Mikita for building his shop at his new place.
I bought him a set of the Avanti blades for it from HD.
I've used it more than he has as cutting wood fell to me in the team effort.
Great saw and perfect blades for our use, which has entailed framing the walls and cutting joists mostly. It has handled the old, salvaged 2x6's and the new stuff too. It's been fun to use and has really helped with the build.
We mounted it on a rolling steel table he picked up somewhere and it's paid off big time.
I should add, I'm about as far from a wood worker as you can get, but I do like using a nice sharp saw.
