To build the dome, we needed a dual angle miter saw to cut the wood. It had to have AT LEAST a 60 degree angle capability, and the blade had to tilt a minimum of 20 degrees. Good saws aren't cheap. We paid about $650 for this 12" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw (6955-20) from Milwaukee Tool. It has a digital read-out angle with repeatable accuracy to 0.1" degree. The Integral Dust channel captures up to 75% of the dust and debris cut, which is nice to have. I can't imagine how much dust there would be without it! The saw arrived the day we brought home that first load of wood on Oct. 3, 2011, and it has performed beautifully for over three years now. After building four domes, it could use a sharper blade - but that's to be expected. I'd definitely recommend this miter saw, especially if you're building a dome. If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures, please post a comment.
Thank you!

PattiI've been inspired by Henry David Thoreau to live the life I imagine. I want to live without depending on dirty fossil fuels; to grow an abundance of healthy, organic food; and live in a home built with natural materials like cob. I'm not there yet, but I'm working on it. ArchivesCategories
