20 best miter saws

Very often, a budget miter saw looks like an unreliable Chinese toy.The plastic base and casings do not inspire confidence, and rightly so. The Russian company Stavr took a different path. Her model looks the most impressive. Steel bed. Dural casing and case. This not only affects the strength of the tool, but also improves its cooling. Heat is removed faster, which means that overheating can be avoided during long work, which is very important, since even a tool for the home is often loaded beyond measure.

However, the performance here corresponds to more complex models. A standard 210 mm disc with 5,000 rpm allows you to process almost any available material. There is a fixation at an angle, but only at 45 degrees. More complex cuts with such a saw will not work. Well, the weight turned out to be quite large. Almost 7 kilograms due to the large amount of metal in the design.

Very often, an inexpensive miter saw requires additional purchases. In the configuration, they are modest, but not this model. It's ready to go right out of the box and has everything you need to do it. Even wrenches, with which you will not only assemble the structure, but also screw it to the base. There are even padded brushes in case the old ones burn out. And no, this does not mean that the manufacturer knows about the rapid burnout of the brushes. It is simply the weakest module in any power tool, and it is he who burns out first, thereby protecting the more expensive and difficult to replace rotor.

The configuration is also ok. The standard revolutions for such a tool are 5 thousand per minute. The power is 1200 watts, and the maximum disk available for installation is 190 millimeters.This is a little less than other models, but in most cases it is quite enough for the home. Well, the existing dust collector will be a great addition for those who work in a residential area.

The miter saw from the well-known Chinese manufacturer Einhell is characterized by high power and modern design. The Einhell TH-MS 2112 is designed for cutting wood at an angle of up to 45°. The tool can be rigidly fixed to a table or workbench with bolts. There are special holes in the base for this. The manufacturer equipped the saw with millimeter and degree markings, simplifying the precise installation of workpieces. Safety of the worker is provided with a reliable casing on a saw disk.

The reviews often mention such a negative point as loud noise. Although most consumers agree that a saw will be a good option for household work.

The domestic manufacturer Caliber relies on an affordable and reliable tool. Interest from summer residents and homeowners in the products of this brand is constantly growing. Miter saw Caliber PTE-1400/210M is designed for straight and side cuts in wooden products. Engine power is enough to ensure high performance. The model is equipped with a dust collector, a vertical clamp, two additional supports.

Users note the need for some refinement of the product, for example, setting up precise sawing. But pleases the lightness of the saw, its compact size and ease of use.On a positive note, the brush assembly is easily accessible, making maintenance easier.

The Chinese manufacturer managed to create a high-quality crosscut with a wide range of useful options. It is designed to work with wooden bars and boards up to 60 mm thick. There are different ways of sawing. The tool differs in high precision of a cut. The work is facilitated by such additional options as a laser, a clamp, the ability to connect a vacuum cleaner or a bag for collecting sawdust, and safety locks.

Domestic consumers speak positively about the operation of the saw. There are minor flaws, but the ratio of price and functionality is simply excellent. The sharp disk, the possibility of smooth adjustment of the table and the tilt of the saw are especially noted.

A home saw rarely boasts any additional options. As a rule, manufacturers save on them, but this happens only with famous brands, where you pay part of the price only for the company logo. Here is not the most famous manufacturer from China. He is quite young, but has already managed to gain some popularity.Reviews about it are mostly positive and relate to both the price and the overall quality.

As for the functionality, the product boasts the presence of a laser marker. And quite convenient. The power button is located on the working handle, that is, it can be activated at any time, and not just during marking. It is also possible to connect a forced exhaust in the form of a vacuum cleaner, or you can use the bag that is already included. Well, a 255 mm disk will dissolve any tree up to 200 mm in diameter. You don't need more for a home.

The ELITECH miter saw designed for woodworking has a number of technical advantages. For high precision performance, this model has a laser pointer that is powered directly from the mains. If necessary, you can install additional cast supports for greater stability and lengthening the surface of the desktop.

An important function of this tool is the presence of a broach, which allows you to cut wide workpieces. The maximum possible cutting depth is 75 mm, while the cut can be carried out at an angle of up to 45 °, different in direction and size. In the reviews of the owners, the presence of a soft start, a cut regulator, and the accuracy of marking the desktop were positively noted. Rarely, but there are complaints about the build quality, so users who have chosen this model for the home recommend checking the products more carefully when buying, since it is simply not advisable to refuse the proposed characteristics and cost.

The best miter saw should not only be of high quality and reliable, but also comfortable. It is this model that we now have in front of us. The manufacturer thought about the operators and the fact that they often have to work long hours with the tool. First, there are the tuning levers. All of them are at hand and conveniently located. They can be adjusted directly during operation without turning off the machine. Second, the handle. She is ergonomic. Reshaped and with a special insert to prevent slipping. Also right on it there are several control buttons, not the main ones, but the auxiliary ones.

Also increased the angle of vertical inclination to 47 degrees. Not much, but already a confident step towards the professional segment. There is also a laser marker on board. It turns on from the handle, that is, it can be activated at any time, and not just at the time of adjusting the angles and other things. In general, this is the most comfortable saw, whose ergonomics are not satisfactory at all.

Since the main source of information about the tool is reviews of real customers, we can add up the most complete picture about this saw and find out about all its advantages and disadvantages. This is the most popular model in marketplaces, and there are a lot of comments under it. Plus, a rather high total score, which indicates the quality of the product despite its quite democratic cost. Yes, this is quite a budget saw, at least when compared with similar models.

There is a large disc of 255 mm, which gives a depth of cut of 200 mm.There is a soft start and its own dust collector. The manufacturer also installed a laser marker, which will allow you to understand where and how the cut will run without lowering the saw itself to the workpiece being processed. Most convenient and practical. There is even a broach, that is, a combined saw and, with a stationary installation, can be used as a full-fledged machine.

More recently, this Korean brand was known exclusively in the automotive market, and today it produces high-quality and reliable power tools. Including miter saws, one of which is now in front of us. This is already an average price segment, but taking into account the parameters, we can safely say that the saw is inexpensive. It is enough to read the reviews, which are quite a lot under the product. Users praise it for its quality and reliability, as well as for the strength of all modules, which is important, since the saw is combined and it has a broach.

The manufacturer increased the turnover a little. Here it is 5100 rpm. A little, but quite acceptable. But the maximum disc diameter is 255 millimeters, which allows you to work with larger materials. There is also a convenient rotary scale that allows you to change the cutting angle, but in the vertical plane the saw bends only at 45 degrees, which does not allow it to be classified as a professional category. Rather, it is the best model for the home.

The best miter saw is the one that will serve you faithfully for many years, and if we are talking about the professional segment, then also under maximum loads. It makes no sense to take such a tool for home. Its characteristics simply will not be useful to you. There is a very powerful cooling system, and it is she who allows you to operate the tool for many hours without a break. It is unlikely that in everyday life you need sawn wood in such quantities.

According to the characteristics, everything is quite standard here. Disc 305 mm. 4000 rpm and 60 degree vertical angle with fine tuning. But the main advantage is that it is the most reliable saw on the market. Bosch, as always, is on top, and it doesn’t matter that the instrument is assembled not in Germany, but in Romania. It doesn't affect the quality in any way. In terms of functionality, everything is also on the level. There are necessary options, such as a dust collector and a laser level, but in this segment they are by default.

A professional tool, namely, it is now in front of us, must be not only reliable, but also as accurate as possible.If any errors are acceptable for the house, then here they should be minimal, or completely absent. This saw is exposed on all planes. To do this, she has laser levels and plumb lines on board, allowing you to measure the angle very accurately.

It is also a standalone module. The saw is powered by a battery, and its relatively low price tag is explained by the fact that it is not included in the kit, as well as a charger. You will have to fork out additionally, and for a considerable amount. Well, the maximum disk size is 254 millimeters. Firstly, it is not so much compared to other models from this segment. And secondly, the size is non-standard for Russia. In our metric system, there are no such disks, which means that we will have to use the classic 210 mm module. Not very convenient or practical. Here, either put up with this shortcoming, or look for non-standard disks somewhere.

Before us is a full-fledged professional miter saw, but at the same time autonomous. Yes, it runs on battery power, or on the mains, if that's more convenient for you. A powerful unit capable of not only sawing wood, but also processing metal, even along the part. There is a full broach, and a huge 305 mm blade makes it possible to cut parts up to 245 mm deep.

Instrument calibration deserves special attention. This is the best system ever invented by the manufacturers of such a tool. The vertical deflection angle reaches 60 degrees, and you can set it as accurately as possible. There is a special scale for this. No need to unscrew any bolts and change the position of the cutting module.It tilts after you just spin the small scale dial. The same is true for horizontal planes. Here the angle is smaller, only 49 degrees, but the setting is still the same clear and simple. There is no need to talk about additional options.

The most powerful miter saw in our review was the Metabo KGS 315 Plus. It is equipped with a 2200 W electric motor that develops 4100 rpm. The tool has a laser marker, a dust collector, a smooth speed control system. The manufacturer provided for the possibility of expanding the table, equipped the product with a device for fixing workpieces and installed an adapter for connecting a vacuum cleaner.

Consumers note the high build quality, super power, quiet operation of the saw. With this tool you can saw any wood, synthetic materials and non-ferrous metal.

A distinctive feature of the Japanese miter saw Makita LH1040F is the ability to work without grounding. Thanks to double protective insulation, the tool is completely electrically safe for the operator. With the help of powerful trimming, you can cut different types of wood, as well as plastic, laminate, aluminum profiles. The manufacturer managed to achieve good illumination of the working area by installing a fluorescent lamp.

In the reviews, consumers praise trimming for the quality of sawing, simplicity and comfort during operation. The miter saw is mobile enough to be carried around the shop.From the wishes of buyers, I would like to have a clamp included.

The professional segment rarely pleases with prices, but now we have an inexpensive miter saw on our own frame. It can be safely purchased for the home. It is compact and does not require you to have a workbench, which, moreover, will have to be drilled to fix the tool. This is the real combination saw. It can work both in the professional and in the domestic segment. The disk here is placed at 310 millimeters.

Not the biggest, but not the smallest either. Motor power 1900 watts. Sawing a tree is not difficult, as well as a metal pipe. But it is better not to overstress the tool. As they say in the reviews, the cooling system here leaves much to be desired. It is ill-conceived and heat, although it is removed, is much slower than it accumulates. But there are such convenient features as a laser level and the same marker, as well as a convenient spindle lock for changing the cutting module.

Before us is a combined miter saw that does not have its own frame in the kit, but it is better to buy it right away, since it will not be so convenient to work with it on a regular workbench. It is a powerful tool with the ability to fine-tune all modules. On the vertical axis, the cutting module tilts up to 65 degrees and this is an excellent result that the most top-end models cannot boast of. And before us, though professional, but quite a budget saw, at least in comparison.

True, you have to put up with a 210 mm disc. Not the maximum. Such sizes are more common on household instruments, but there are also many areas in the professional field where this size will be quite enough and it makes no sense to put a huge module that will never be used 100%. In addition, the saw weighs only 12 kilograms, which makes it easy to take it to field sites. Apparently, this is exactly what the manufacturer intended, since assembly and disassembly is carried out very quickly.

The universal combined DeWALT DW743N model belongs to the professional tool and when working with various types of materials shows high quality of processing. The high power of the 2000 W electric motor allows this tool to perfectly cope with plastic, soft metal, wood, laminated parquet and other materials. Ease of use and additional protection have become possible thanks to the introduction of a new mechanism by which the blade guard automatically moves to the desired position when using a miter saw.

In their reviews, the owners positively evaluate the low noise of operation, the high efficiency of the dust removal system. This allows the combination machine to be used even in workshops with limited space. The ability to quickly transform the machine into a circular saw, its compactness and the best price on the market (this is the most affordable model in the category) also contributed to the popularity of the tool, which he deserved among not only highly specialized specialists, but also amateurs.

If you need a budget combination miter saw, you can safely wind this block. It is inexpensive only in comparison with multifunctional CNC machines. But the saw is in the professional segment. It is designed for the highest loads. It can be used for many hours and will not overheat or fail. There is also a water supply. That is, the tool can process not only wood and metal, but also stone: granite and marble.

The stretch here is very large. The tool works on the principle of an overhead crane, that is, it moves in all directions and the outreach is limited only by the size of the boom. If you need a standard cut, just fix the disk in the chosen position and do your job. And of course, a very powerful foundation. Not some kind of plastic table with thin legs, but a full-fledged workbench. Hence the total weight of the structure is 150 kilograms.

The Makita LF1000 is a lightweight combo machine that transforms from saw to miter saw with a simple movement. Ease of transportation and storage due to the presence of folding legs on a lightweight aluminum table. All manipulations with wood or other material are performed by a disc with a diameter of 260 mm, which makes it possible to obtain a cutting depth of up to 68 mm in the trimming mode.

This tool has an inclined saw mechanism, which allows cutting the workpiece at an angle of up to 45 ° both to the left and to the right. The powerful motor (1600 W) is equipped with protection systems necessary for the safety of the user. This is an accidental start lock, an emergency shutdown mode and, of course, a protective cover. Enough has been said about the quality of the brand's products to dispel even the slightest doubts about the reliability of the equipment - it is traditionally at the highest level, and even compared to its closest competitors, the owners still consider the Makita LF1000 the best tool in its category.
