A compound mitre saw can cut angles in both directions and ALSO tilt the blade to cut compound angles, This is important in cutting things like crown moulding.

A siding compound mitre saw is one that goes up an down on a hinge at the rear and angles sideways just like a regular mitre saw , but as well as all this, the motor and blade can slide forwards on a bar (or 2 bars) to allow wider cuts.

A miter saw is a saw hinged to a baseplate so it comes down to operate. It can be angled in either direction horizontally and it can 'lean' or be angled vertically.

Usually wood either straight across the grain or at an angle. Metal can be cut with one with the right blade in it. PVC and other plastics can be cut with the same blade as wood.

A compound mitre saw can turn 45 degrees either side and also angle 45 degrees from the vertical. Both can be done at the same time making this saw very versatile.
