For my fellow handymen, thought I'd point out this new saw I found. It's a 7 1/4 sliding compound miter saw that is very lightweight. I actually can't find it on the crappy Kobalt website, but I think it's only 22 pounds. So not only is it a lightweight miter saw, but it's also sliding and will cut up to 8", so you can still cut through most dimensional lumber while being very portable at the same time.
This was a great saw for me, and I guess the reason I'm mentioning it is it's the only one of its kind that I know of. I'm a Home Depot man myself, and obviously this is only available at Lowes. A guy at Home Depot said he thought Ridgid was coming out with something similar, but there's no mention of it anywhere I can find. Nothing at Harbor Freight.
