A good bit heavier, and because of the rails to slide on, they do take up a
bit more room.
I had a Dewalt I think it was a 705. A 12 inch stationary compound miter.
Had because one of my houses was broken into while being remodeled and I had
stuck the saw in a closet. Someone got a beauty.
The stationary compound weighed about 45 pounds and I could carry it in one
hand.
I now own a Dewalt 708, and it's massive compared to the 718 model that's
out now. The rails that mine slide on are about an inch and a half in
diameter, and just guessing but I'd bet it's double the weight of my first
saw.
The 718 has a little wider cut than mine but I picked mine up as a payment
for some back rent. So I couldn't beat the price... they don't make it now,
and the 718 is the bells and whistles model.
If you're thinking of getting one, check out several different brands and do
some checking online. I've seen a bunch of them from Ryobi to Festool. And
the prices go up steadily until you go to Festool and then the curve becomes
a wall... $1300 at last check.
Also try to get a hold of a radial arm saw and see which one you like
better. The knock on the radial arm is that you can pull the blade over your
hand. You can do that with a slider too if you don't pay attention.
They both seem to take up about as much bench top but in reality, a radial
arm is more versatile. You can raise the blade much like a table saw, just
in reverse order. you can put a stack of dado blades and cut very accurate
dados as wide as the arm can go. You can't do that with a slider.
I know this will open the old discussion again about which is better. I'll
just say the best saw is the one you like most. Play with a few different
brands and you'll develop a favorite.

Bob,
Are the sliding compound units considerably larger in size and heavier in
weight?

A standard miter can cut the width of the blade or part of that width as
some goes beyond the fence.
A sliding compound can get close to 16 inches in some cases. I have a 12
inch model and I'm between 15 and 16 inches in cross cut width.

My understanding is there are a couple of different type
power miter saws? I am borrowing my son-in-law's standard 10
inch one and love it. He tells me there is a type with a
sliding arm as well to accomplish the ability to cut a wider
board. Any idea how much wider?
