Compared a new Bauer Miter Saw to one a Year old. 

I have not used a WEN miter saw. All of their products I have used have been good but can't say how they compare.

I hope yours is as good as mine.

I have bought several miter saws, including Dewalt, Ridgid, Delta, Bosch, and more. I normally sell my old one after I get the new one set up. I kept the Bauer. It is in the attic of my shop. It really was my favorite and just could not get rid of it. The problem with it is that it sticks out from the wall so far. Where I have my miter station, it got in the way. If I rearrange my shop, I will bring it back out.

@@ShopRamblings nice..see they make decent stuff...thank you..

There was only around 100 difference in the serial numbers. I found a couple of different parts used. I am not sure why there was so many differences between so few saws.

Thank you. I never really thought that many people would be interested in the things I do in my shop. My friends kept telling me that they had not seen some of the things I had done before and that I should be doing videos on them. So once I posted a couple of videos and they actually got some views I have been trying to make more videos of things that I have done while still trying to get some work done. Maybe one day I'll have enough subscribers that making videos will be my work.

Thanks for the feedback. I have looked at buying I mic. I am still trying to pick one. On my videos where I am moving around a lot I have been trying to just do voice overs to keep the volume consistent. Thanks for watching.

And getting smaller every day.

The Bauer miter saws do not have laser lines. They have shadow lines which are much better. It is a separate switch to turn it on.

I had an old Chicago Electric one and it was a great saw for the money. It never did break and I put a lot of use on it. I have upgraded again but could not part with my Bauer. I have it stored just in case my new saw let's me down.

Harbor Freight is discontinuing this saw so they are not going to fix the issue.

I was cutting some 2 1/4" x 12" slabs last week like they were nothing.

Thanks, I try to say things I wish I knew before I purchased.

First, I will say this style of stand is significantly better than the other style. They are sold under a couple of different brands. I paid $80 each at Direct Tools Outlet around black Friday. If you watch on the Home Depot site, search for it each time. I have seen it listed for full price. Then seen it with a pen for half price. I think if they package it, they can get around map pricing.

@Shop Ramblings Thank you ever so much! I just ordered it from Direct Tools, I picked it out, and was hesitant, I abandoned the cart for a few hours, then got back to it, only to discover they had thrown in an even larger discount. Now to begin obsessively tracking the package the moment they tell me it's shipped !!! Thanks again!

@rodgerneeb301 once you use it, let me know what you think

Yes they have a switch for the shadow line.

Thanks

I love the saw. I still have it. I am not sure if it is a heat thing here in Florida or what, but every person I know that has the saw and leaves it plugged in had the problem. I have not had any issues since I rewired it. I wonder if that is why they discontinued it. They had too many returned because the shadow went out.

@@ShopRamblings that could very well be the reasoning behind the discontinue. The heat definitely doesn't help things much but i suspect that the main culprit is the fact that power is being supplied to the board at all times and drawing amperage therefor, heating things up. 😕 Regards, F5

Agreed

Just to make sure we are talking about the same saw is yours the 10" Sliding Bauer. There are several versions they sell that are slightly different. They have discontinued this saw, but I still have it in my attic. I have seen a few still in stores on clearance. It was such a good saw I couldn't get rid of it when I upgraded. I can pull it down and test it. Are you trying to miter 5 1/2"x1/2" base board? Also, when making the cut, do you have the saw pushed all the way forward? When cutting vertical baseboard and crown moldings, the saw should be locked all the way forward to cut like a chop saw. If that makes sense.

@@ShopRamblings Thank you! Mine is the model #19743E-B. I believe it's the newer one of the 2 you highlight in this video. Got it on clearance last week. Basedboard is 5 1/2"x1/2". I've tried the saw in multiple positions on the sliding rail, all the way back, up and halfway. The motor or the plastic dust collecting shroud always hits the top of the trim with about 1/4" to 1/2" still left to be cut on the baseboard. I'm also holding the baseboard up against the fence vertically. I have been able to cut ok if I lay the baseboard flat and then bevel the saw. Migh still be user error since this is my first saw, so thank you in advance.

I don't have a 5 1/2 base board. I will try to remember to get a piece tomorrow and see what I can do.

@@ShopRamblings Not a big deal. If you eventually get around to it that would be great. Much appreciated!

See if this helps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qd91bUWAYHc.html
