A miter saw (10) for displaying angle of a cutter blade (31) cutting the workpiece. The miter saw has a base (21) mounting a workpiece thereon, a movable member (22) movably supported to the base, and a cutting unit (30) connected to the movable member for supporting the cutter blade (31). A positioning portion (40) is associated with the movable member (22) and provides a predetermined nominal position of the movable member (22) with respect to the base (21). The predetermined nominal position includes a reference position and other positions labeled angle. A detector (130,140) detects the position of the movable member (22) with respect to the base. A processor sets an angle between the reference position and the predetermined nominal position as a displayed moving amount when the movable member is positioned at the predetermined nominal position. Otherwise, the processor computes the moving amount based on the output signal from the detector.
