Mitre Saws

A mitre saw is a type of saw used for making precise crosscuts and angled cuts in wood, metal, or other materials. It features a circular blade mounted on a pivoting arm that can be tilted to make angled cuts, while a fence or guide helps to ensure accuracy. Mitre saws are commonly used in woodworking and carpentry, as well as in metalworking and other industries that require precise cuts. They come in various sizes and styles, from small and portable models for DIYers to large industrial machines used in commercial applications.

Mitre Saw Features

Blade Size

Mitre saws come in different blade sizes ranging from 7 1/4 inches to 12 inches. The size of the blade determines the size of the material that can be cut.

Bevel Angle Range

The bevel angle range of a mitre saw refers to the range of angles at that the blade can be tilted from side to side. A larger range allows for more versatile cutting options.

Sliding Mechanism

Some mitre saws come with a sliding mechanism that allows the saw to slide forward and backwards on rails. This feature increases the width of the cut that can be made.

Laser Guide

A laser guide is a feature that helps users make precise cuts by projecting a laser beam onto the material being cut.

Dust Collection

Many mitre saws come with a dust collection system that helps to keep the work area clean and free from sawdust. This feature improves visibility and reduces the risk of respiratory issues caused by inhaling sawdust.

FAQs

What is the difference between a mitre saw and a chop saw?

A chop saw is a type of saw that is used to make straight cuts in materials like metal and wood. It typically has a larger blade than a mitre saw and is designed for cutting through thick materials. A mitre saw, on the other hand, is designed for making precise angled cuts and can be used on a wider variety of materials.

What are the different types of mitre saws?

The two main types of mitre saws are compound mitre saws and sliding compound mitre saws. Compound mitre saws allow you to make angled cuts in two planes - horizontally and vertically - while sliding compound mitre saws also have a sliding arm that lets you make cuts on wider boards.

What is the difference between a single bevel and a dual bevel mitre saw?

A single bevel mitre saw can only tilt in one direction - either to the left or the right - while a dual bevel mitre saw can tilt in both directions. This makes it easier to make complex cuts without having to reposition the material.
