Compact, Accurate, Lightweight Sliding Miter Saw Solution

The user is looking to upgrade from an old, heavy miter saw to something lighter, more accurate, space-saving (sliding), and within a budget. This highlights a common pain point: the trade-off between cut capacity (sliding feature), portability, accuracy, and workshop footprint. A product that innovatively addresses these conflicting needs, perhaps a lightweight sliding mechanism that folds or retracts exceptionally well, or a system that allows for large cuts without requiring extensive bench space, could be very valuable, especially if it can be offered at a competitive price point relative to high-end compact options like the Bosch Axial-Glide.
