Would you buy a Mitre Saw or Circular Saw first?

[HunterProperty]

Hi,

I am planning on undertaking some projects at home (build pool pump enclosure, replace battens) that I believe a circular saw will be able to accomplish. However I have some further projects in mind that may require a mitre saw so it had me thinking would I be best to buy a mitre saw to complete all works or is there something I am overlooking/not understanding between the two that would require me buy both.

Thanks in advance!

Afternoon @HunterProperty 

Id say a strong no Unless you like tools that is. 

I would suggest to save your money for a mitre saw instead. Makita 216mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw LS0816F is what I bought as my second saw. (well thats not discounting the hand saws I have) Even the ozito one looks like it will do the job. I mostly buy ozito or makita products. And have often stood there weighing up the abilities of both. One think i LOVE about the makita drop saw is the laser red line it shows before and during the cut on the timber so you know where the blade will be. Its just a big heavy tool to lug out and about as you only need it rarely  

I did see one of the community members build a mobile bench so she could move the drop saw around with all the tools within the bench.

Bingo! Found it

Folding and rolling mitre saw station by @RainbowDiY  is the one I was thinking of.

I also found this one

Miter Saw Station (Fold Down Sides, Mobile) By @Wayne that looks good as well.

It really comes down to Frequency of use, cost, space to store the tool and the ability to move it about.
