It may be elementary to you but I am baffled. Could someone please explain to me the difference between the following, 1. Mitre saw 2. Compound mitre saw 3. Bevel mitre saw 4. Double bevel mitre saw 5 Crosscut compound mitre saw.

1. the saw can be moved to make a known angle between the blade and the fence.
2. The saw can be angled from the vertical as well as in relation to the fence.
3. The same as 2
4. The saw can be angled either side of vertical instead of just to one side for sawing bevel cuts.
5. The same as 2 but with a sliding crosscut action enabling wider cuts.
