TD what's your preference? Don't have either anymore. $300 about to spend on one. Leaning towards the deal Craftsman has on a table saw right now. Thanks!

I'm no expert, but you can do a ton with a sliding miter.

Neither replaces the other really. If you are good with a skilsaw you can get by with a good 12" miter saw.

Check around at pawn shops, you might be able to get both...

I feel like you can do more with a budget miter saw than you can accomplish with a budget table saw. A cheap table saw can be a pita to use properly. But if you have a big delta table saw and you make yourself some nice jigs and sleds you can do damn near anything.

Miter if the choice is between the two.

Get both, used. A little time and elbow grease and you don't have to do without either.

If you have $300 to spend, buy a mitre saw. Depending on what you're doing you can probably accomplish the rest of your tasks (table saw based) with a circular saw and some type of guide setup.

You could get a mitre saw and a circular saw + shooting board + speed square for less than the price of a good table saw and you could make every cut you could with a table saw. Maybe not as easily or efficiently but all the rips, cross cuts, dado, laps, notches etc could be made. And you don't have to take up all of that shop real estate with a table saw.

Get the table saw and make a cross cut sled and a miter sled, I rarely use my miter saw since I made mine, they are not hard to make.
