Am I the only one who used to hand-cut all my crown miters before switching to a compound miter saw?

I finally bought a DeWalt DWS780 after a brutal 3-day custom molding job in a 1920s bungalow where my hand-cut joints were just not lining up, so what other tools have saved you guys from similar headaches?

My first miter saw was a cheap 10 inch Ryobi, and honestly it made things worse. The fence was never square and the blade wobbled. I had to go back and hand cut half the joints anyway just to fix them. A good saw is a game changer, but a bad one just gives you a false sense of security. I learned the hard way that checking your tool's accuracy matters more than just having the tool.

Cheap tools just teach you how to fix mistakes, huh?
