In this case, we are referring to rail deflection. The Milwaukee design features three large linear bearings that provide a repeatable smooth sliding action. Some of our competitors use only 1 or 2 linear bearings and powdered  metal gears. This type of design produces a less smooth sliding action and can compromise the accuracy of a cut.

Can anybody please explain what is "deflection" when talking about a miter saw? Is it blade wobble or the degrees the saw goes out of perfect alignment when pulling it out to its fully extended point?
