An introduction to mitre saws: A mitre saw is a portable machine for making cross or, by rotating the tool's turntable, angle (known as mitre) cuts in wood. Mitre saws are used both in workshops & by onsite carpenters for window casings, architraving, door frames, picture frames etc. The wood is taken to the mitre saw rather than the machine being taken to the material as in a circular saw. The majority are mains powered but cordless versions do exist. Click here to see all our saws
To choose between mitre saws: The key criteria needed for choosing a mitre saw is the diameter of the blade to determine the width & depth of cut. Mitre saws with this 305mm diameter blade are the largest available. Click here to see all our mitre saws
