I'm currently using a Master Craft miter saw, but no matter how much I tune it, I can't get it to cut square. I'm on the hunt for a miter saw that is really precise because I'm teaching myself furniture making. Accuracy is more important to me than the cutting capacity, so I'd be perfectly fine with a 10" chop saw if it ensures accurate 90° and 45° cuts. What do you all use that guarantees precision? I live in PEI, Canada, and the options in the used market for furniture building tools are pretty limited.

I've been using a Bosch miter saw for about 8 years and it has never let me down. It's super accurate, and I've been really happy with it for all my furniture projects.
Honestly, for precision cuts at 90° and 45°, a quality table saw with a cross-cut sled is often the best bet. It's designed to give you straight cuts every time. However, if you’re leaning towards a miter saw, I’ve heard good things about the Bosch models. They seem to hold up well over time and stay accurate.
