Slide compound mitre saws are similar to mitre saws in that they make cross & angle (mitre) cuts in wood but additionally, by tilting the head, they can make bevel cuts. By combining the mitre cut & bevel cut you get a compound cut, useful for framing a roof. Slide refers to the rails on which the saw runs when it is pulled through the wood at a bevelled angle.
