Hitachi, now Metabo, miter saw. I used that thing for about 20 years until I finally burned it out.

I replaced it with a smaller Ryobi one that slides. Maybe a 7 1/4 inch blade? I'd have to go down and look at it again...I like that saw because it is light. It cuts accurately, but the wood chips on the waste cut keep getting caught in the blade groove and I have to take it apart to get them out of there.
