A mitre saw is a power saw with a cir­cu­lar blade that is pulled down ver­tic­ally into a mater­i­al to sep­ar­ate it. It can be used to make straight cuts, or cuts at angles up to 45° in either direction.

Please note

No met­al can be used with this machine.

What can I use this tool for?

Trim­ming lengths of tim­ber to size with an accur­ate, straight cut, par­tic­u­larly longer lengths or thick­er stock that is more dif­fi­cult to do by hand. The mitre saw is also excel­lent for instances in which many lengths require cutting.
