I have a miter saw and I need to know if I can use a chop saw cutting wheel in my miter saw. The wheel is 10" and my miter saw has 10" blade in it now. What are the differences in a chop saw and a miter saw if I can just use the chop saw wheels in my miter saw?

I have a small project i’m working on around the house and I will need to get some type of miter saw to make some cuts. I’m just curious if there is any other advantage to a power miter saw over one of those much cheaper hand boxes besides ease of use? The wood i’m cutting right now is only 1/4" think and very soft wood so doing it by hand really won’t be difficult. So i’m just wondering if it’s worth the cost to go with a power miter saw? Will i get cleaner cuts out of it? Keep in mind I probably am not going to go out and buy the 0 power miter, just the cheap one.

I am looking to buy an everyday type of household saw. I will be using it to cut some chair rail for my daughter’s bedroom and some baseboards around the house. Should I puchase a laser Miter Saw (4) OR should I buy a Circular Saw? I also want to be able to cut 2×4 wood in the future and use it as an everyday saw NOT just for cutting baseboards and chair rails.

Will a circular saw make 45 degree cuts for baseboards and chair rail? OR do I need to buy a miter saw to make these sorts of cuts?

Thanks!
