Miter saw
 A miter saw includes a base for placing a work thereon and a miter saw unit supported by a support mechanism relative to the base. The miter saw unit supports a saw blade and a motor for driving the saw blade. The motor has a motor shaft extending in a longitudinal direction of the motor. A transmission mechanism serves to transmit rotation of the motor to the saw blade. The support mechanism supports the miter saw unit in such a manner that the miter saw unit is vertically pivotable and that the miter saw unit is laterally pivotable from a vertical position to an inclined position. The rotational axis of the saw blade extends substantially horizontally when the miter saw unit is at the vertical position, and the rotational axis of the saw blade extends obliquely relative to the horizontal direction when the miter saw unit is at the inclined position. The motor is positioned on one lateral side of the miter saw unit toward the inclined position. The motor shaft of the motor extends obliquely relative to the rotational axis of the saw blade in such a manner that the motor shaft extends obliquely upwardly relative to the saw blade when the miter saw unit is at the vertical position.
