Miter Saws Selection And Comparison

15 best miter saws

JET JSMS-8L

The JET JSMS-8L model opens our rating of the best miter saws. The Chinese Jet miter saws, despite their origin, have earned a good reputation. they are well assembled and do not bother with breakdowns, so you can often find them in small workshops. This particular model with a 1.5-kilowatt motor uses 216 mm discs and is equipped with a pull mechanism, so it is quite versatile: cutting depth up to 62 mm, width up to 305 mm. Tilt and swivel angles can be adjusted up to 45 degrees.

A laser is provided for aiming, but it quickly becomes clogged with dust, even if a vacuum cleaner is connected. a noticeable amount of sawdust passes by it due to a single-point fence. The engine is connected directly, without a soft start, although this is not a problem for a handy master: a budget tool is often chosen with the expectation of further refinement “for himself”.

The topic of our today’s ranking is the best miter saws. Faced with the need to frequently cut long workpieces, you will inevitably think about choosing the appropriate tool. Reciprocating Saw? It is difficult to set a uniform cut, especially if you have to cut the same boards at an angle, and you need an accurate docking. A jigsaw with a square? Uncomfortable, slow, especially for difficult cuts.

In industrial conditions, long workpieces are usually cut with pendulum saws: a disc swinging on a lever cuts quickly and, most importantly, with a minimum of effort to ensure repeatability of the result. We add to it the ability to adjust the cutting angle and a desktop mount instead of a heavy bed. and now we have a ready-made miter saw that can find work both in the workshop and at the construction site.

Hyundai M 2000-255

The 1800-watt saw and blade uses a diameter corresponding to the motor power. 255 mm, so that the cutting depth is all right: up to 75 mm with a 90-degree cut, while the cutting length is up to 135 mm. For jobs that usually use a budget-class tool, this should be fine. The build quality, like that of the stock drive itself, is good, although there are some minor miscalculations. If you do not plan to use the hood, confining yourself to a standard dust-collecting bag, then stock up on a budget. the built-in “laser sight” will quickly become clogged with dust, since there is no forced extraction in the bag. Although the bag itself is made with decent care for the future owner. for shaving out the shavings, it has a zipper, for example.

The layout of the rotary table is accurate, allowing you to get the exact joints of the sawn workpieces right out of the box. At “standard” corners, it locks into place with a click (9 positions from 45 to 45 degrees). However, the manufacturer has not forgotten the exact adjustment of the angles in the design either. Vertical tilt. left only, up to 45 degrees.

Criteria for selecting a broached facing

In order for the money to purchase a saw for wood to be spent for good reason, you should consider:

Appointment of the tool. The feed saw is essential for professionals who often work with wide workpieces. If the tool is used from time to time, ordinary trimming without bells and whistles, household class will be enough. Professionals are skeptical about combination tools that combine crosscutting and circular sawing capabilities. Typically, the performance of one of the functions (or both) suffers. Therefore, combination saws are not bad for hobbyists, they will save space by getting two tools in one case. The rotational speed of a professional saw blade is the same as that of a household saw. But the power of the first is higher, so more power consumption.

Security. A protective cover is a must, even for the cheapest device. The function of blocking accidental start is also useful.

Saw weight and dimensions. Professional, powerful tools are bigger and heavier. But trimming is a portable device, so its weight should be within reasonable limits. In addition, you should pay attention to the maximum free movement of the working head.

Working disc diameter. Discs smaller than 0.2 m in diameter are only suitable for children’s play. The wider the saw blade, the more comfortable it will work.

The purpose of the miter saw

Often, during finishing work, it is necessary to perform diagonal cutting of materials with great accuracy. This is a rather difficult task in the absence of a special tool. A special device will cope with wood of various species, soft metals, polymers, laminate. The miter saw helps you get the job done quickly and cleanly, such as when laying out baguettes, skirting boards or working with clapboard.

The miter saw belongs to the category of highly specialized tools. She can cut narrow bars, boards, slats. With its help, it will not work to dissolve along the board. The presence of a broach somewhat expands the capabilities of the tool, allowing you to cut wider workpieces.

Additional functions

Dust removal. The miter saw generates a lot of wood dust and sawdust, which is harmful to the operator. Modern models of the tool are equipped with a branch pipe for connecting a vacuum cleaner. Garbage is removed directly from the place of discharge and does not have time to spread throughout the room.

Expansion of the table top. A useful option when working with long bars, laminate flooring. Most often, the table is attached to the bed and held on two legs. Most tables are 50 cm long, you can find longer.

Electronic and laser equipment

A feed miter saw rarely contains electronic components. But there are models with electronic speed control. This option allows you to more accurately control the progress of work, as well as adjust the mechanism for cutting various materials.

Individual manufacturers have gone further and equipped their mechanisms with the ability to maintain a stable speed. A useful option if you need to quickly cut a lot of workpieces, because when pressing, the speed of rotation of the blade usually decreases significantly. On modified saws, the electronic controller will return the speed to the required range. This will ensure a fast and even cut.

Laser aiming is another expensive, useful, but optional option. The laser clearly indicates the line to be cut, this is very convenient for inexperienced craftsmen who have not yet developed automaticity.

The choice of a miter saw with a broach, its device and features

The miter saw is designed for sawing wooden blocks at any desired angle, inclination or cutting wood. Broaching tools have a number of advantages over conventional trimming. Leading manufacturers offer many options, and economical home craftsmen design it themselves.

Broach Miter Saw Design

The device for trimming wood is simple: it is a functional module consisting of an electric motor with a gearbox, a handle with a start switch and a working circle. The whole module is attached to the base.

The electric motor can be of the asynchronous or collector type. Collector brushes need periodic replacement of brushes, but they give out high revolutions. Asynchronous are quieter and more durable.

Typically, the motor is mounted to the right hand of the saw blade. But there are models with a motor behind the disc. It does not block the view, which is especially important if the design allows you to tilt the working element.

Through the gearbox, the movement is transmitted from the motor to the saw blade. The transmission can be belt or toothed. The toothed gear works without slipping even at maximum speed. But the belt reduces vibration and is quieter, which is also very important for accurate cutting. Periodically, the belt wears out and requires replacement; during a sharp change in speed, it can come off. There are also models with direct transmission. They are the most reliable, but their torque is lower.

To expand the possibilities of the saw, a broaching mechanism has been created. The functional module is located on two guides along which it moves during cutting. The feed-through miter saw will cut wider boards. During operation, the operator pulls the wheel towards himself, the working edges rotate away from the operator, so sawdust fly by, and the circle presses the part against the stop.

The functional unit is installed on a base. a bed. It consists of a movable round part that moves during the setting of the angle and stop. The best bases are made from strong and light metals: aluminum or magnesium alloys.

The saw is a dangerous cutting tool, therefore a protective cover is provided to prevent injury. During downtime, the folding part covers the circle; during operation, the cover is removed using a special lever or automatically when the console is moved to the working position. Additional safety is provided by an electrodynamic brake, when the power supply is interrupted, it smoothly stops the electric motor.

Devices of increased power are equipped with a soft start, during a wheel replacement, the torsion mechanism is blocked, and when the wheel is stopped, the engine stops. Any model is equipped with protection against breakdown of electricity to the case.

Consumables selection

Cutting quality depends on the characteristics of the tool and the tool, in this case the saw blade. All miter saw blades for wood are different:

• outer diameter;
• inner diameter;
• tooth shape.

The inner diameter of the disc or the bore is available in two sizes, 25 or 30 millimeters. The size is indicated on the face of the circle and in the saw specifications. The outer diameter is also selected depending on the capabilities of the tool. It is more difficult to understand the geometry of the cutting surfaces:

• the more teeth on the wheel, the coarser the part is processed. For example, you should not choose such a consumable for cutting laminate, painted or varnished wood. Fine-toothed circles will do. There is a classification of saw wheels for miter saws with a broach: for cross cuts, longitudinal and for finishing (universal);
• slotted discs are good for long run. Slots prevent the wheel from deforming during heating, and also reduce noise during operation.

The main manufacturers of professional saws with a broach on wood Makita, Bosch, Hitachi, Metabo, DeWalt.

Number of revolutions

The number of revolutions, or idle speed, is another important characteristic that determines the efficiency of a tool. For different models, this figure ranges from 3200 to 6000 rpm. The higher the idle speed, the better the cut the miter saw.

In the models of the professional category, the speed control function is provided. It makes sense to pay attention to it, first of all, cabinetmakers and everyone who uses trimming for carpentry needs. Adjusting the saw blade speed allows you to tailor the sawing process to the characteristics of a particular material: different types of wood, chipboard, etc. When “streaming” sawing, they work at high speeds, achieving greater speed and productivity. By lowering the RPM, you gain more control over the sawing, which is important when cutting critical parts.

Disc diameter. Landing hole. Sharpening angle

The diameters of the saw blades of most cross-cut edges are from 165 to 355 mm. The larger the blade, the greater the depth of cut the saw has. By the diameter of the tooling, you can immediately judge the power and class of the power tool. When choosing a facing, the maximum disk size is correlated with the amount of work that is planned to be performed. This optimizes time and reduces tool wear. The dimensions of the entire tool are directly related to the size of the disc: the larger it is, the more massive the support platform, the larger and higher the saw unit.

Rim diameter. Most disc bore diameters range from 16 to 30 mm. In some cases, the problem of a tooling that does not fit the spindle can be solved with an adapter. Using blades that are not suitable for the saw attachment may cause runout during rotation and loss of control of the tool.

Sharpening angle. The saw blade teeth have a positive or negative rake angle. For cross-cut sliders. saws with a broach, which we will talk about below. discs are selected whose teeth have a negative rake angle. No-feed saws work best with tooling that has a positive angle. Of course, any saw blade will work on every type of trimming, but observing the described nuances will ensure the cleanest and most accurate cut.

What is the difference between a miter saw and a circular saw?

This question often arises for those who are thinking about purchasing a saw power tool. To begin with, trimming is a subspecies of circular saws. The family of circulars is usually divided into three groups: stationary (table) models, disk manual and, directly, miter.

For saw tables, miter saws benefit, first of all, in matters of compactness and mobility: the average weight of a miter saw is about 16 kg, while for its stationary counterpart, this figure can reach up to 100 kg or more. The second objective advantage is work safety. In general, on the saw table, you can perform all the same sawing operations as with trimming, but this turns out to be many times slower. in terms of convenience and speed of settings, trimming is far ahead.

The main disadvantage of miter saws is working with workpieces of limited width. Well, for obvious reasons, they are not suitable for longitudinal cutting of wood. A stationary circular saw or a hand-held circular saw is still indispensable here. At the same time, some trimmer manufacturers decided not to give up, and tried to solve this problem by creating combined models that combine the capabilities of a trimmer and a sawing machine.

Of course, due to the limited size of the top cover, such a hybrid is not fully capable of replacing the sawing table. Nevertheless, such equipment has proven itself well in the economy and home carpentry.

Power. Engine. Transfer type

Power is one of the main characteristics that determines the performance of a power tool. For modern miter saws, this figure ranges from 850 to 2200 W. Power factor reflects the amount of energy consumed to keep the device running.

Semi-professional and professional models are saws with a power of 1400.2200 watts. They are designed for large diameter discs and are able to last longer without interruption, eliminating the risk of critical loads. At the same time, they significantly lose in weight and dimensions to their household counterparts (850-1500 W). For comparison, disks with a diameter of 254 or 305 mm are selected for powerful cross-sections (2000-2200 W); the weight of the entire installation can be up to 25 kg or more. 1200 W trims weigh 13-15 kg and are designed for 210 or 216 mm discs.

In order not to miss the power when choosing a facing, we recommend answering a few questions:

• how often and how intensively you will use the tool?
• what material will you mainly have to work with: its structure, density, thickness? It is obvious that, for example, cutting pine lining will create incomparably lower loads on the apparatus than working with oak boards, beech, larch and other hard species.
• How important is portability and compact dimensions to you??

Practice shows that the optimal saw power for a home workshop is in the range of 1600-1800 W.

Engine. Miter saws are equipped with two types of electric motors: brush (collector) and brushless (asynchronous).

• Brush motors are an attribute of the vast majority of models. Compared to brushless counterparts, they have lower efficiency, require periodic maintenance (replacement of brushes), are noisier and are less adapted to intensive use. But they are less vulnerable to overloads and surges. Also, collector motors provide high torque, cheaper and not so large. The overwhelming percentage of miter saws for household and semi-professional saws are equipped with just such systems.
• Asynchronous motors are more efficient and do not require replacement of consumables. They provide a smooth ride without the typical jerks inherent in brush counterparts, which also affects the quality of the cut. Brushless motors are quieter, but it should be understood that other factors, such as the type of drive, determine the noise level from the tool. Asynchronous miter cutters are larger and more expensive.

Transfer type. The transmission of torque from the motor to the saw blade is carried out through a gearbox or belt drive. Gear models are more accurate in transferring speed and rotation. the possibility of disc slipping is excluded, but it can give a small backlash. The belt drive is less noisy, it significantly reduces the vibrations of the disc, better protects the engine. The disadvantage of such systems is slippage during tool operation, which can occur as the belt wears out. The latter is a consumable that requires periodic replacement.

With or without broach?

To create longer cuts, they choose models with a broach, also known as cross-cutters, in which the saw unit not only drops down and turns to the sides, but also moves horizontally. forward and backward. In addition to the increased kerf, the push-through trimmer offers a number of additional benefits, such as the ability to make double cuts in a single pass.

Cross-cut without broaching, despite their seeming obsolescence, are no less popular. The ratio of sliders and conventional end faces on the power tool market is about 60 to 40. this is a rather rough statistic, which, nevertheless, clearly shows that old-style systems are not going to give up their positions.

Cut length limitations are compensated by the stability of the adjustments and the reliability of the system, which are achieved due to the simplified design and fewer moving parts. Models without broaching are much lighter. the difference in weight is 25-50%. this is a powerful argument if the machine is often moved or transported to different objects. And, finally, the price issue, in which everything is obvious. trimming without broaching costs an order of magnitude less than saws of the same class, but with a broaching.

For saws of different classes, discs with different rake angles are used, as we talked about above. For sliders, discs are selected whose teeth have a negative rake angle. For saws without feed. positive angle discs.

In modern models, the developers have successfully solved this problem. So, for example, in Bosch cross-cut saws of the Glide family, the saw unit does not move along the guides, but using the articulated linkage mechanism. Festool uses an even more beautiful engineering solution in its KAPEX KS 60 saws: the guide rods are turned towards the operator and do not protrude from the body during feeding.

Does the household even need a miter saw?

Summing up the introductory part of our conversation, let’s try to answer the most burning question: when is it generally advisable to buy this tool?

Definitely worth it: when carpentry is your active hobby, and even more so a business; when your work involves sawing a large number of molded products. laminate, lining, skirting boards, etc.; if you are engaged in the manufacture of baguette frames.

It will not be superfluous: in a private household, if permanent construction is your meaning of life, and you like to work with your hands.

It makes little sense: if the need for sawing is very rare. In this case, it is more appropriate for home and summer cottages to purchase a hand-held circular saw. the most “popular” version of the power tool. And to someday install a cornice, plinth or platband, a simple miter box will be enough for you.

Choosing a miter saw. Answers to the most important questions

How not to get confused in the characteristics and choose a trimmer that will become the workhorse in your workshop? All these and other important questions are discussed in detail in today’s article.

Miter saw device

Trimming is not too complicated. The main structural elements of this tool are the saw unit (tilting head with a cutting disc) and the base. a bed with a rotary table, which allows you to change the cutting angle in the horizontal plane. The cutting disc is driven by an electric motor: more often it is located on the side of the saw unit, less often at the back. When not in operation, the blade is completely covered by a protective cover, which automatically retracts as the saw unit is lowered. This is one of the key elements of safety, its malfunction is a reason to stop using the tool until the problem is fixed.

Buying a trimmer is always preceded by an understanding of what you need it for. Then the immersion into the technical part begins and the search for compromises: optimal power, the required blade diameter, drive, reliable bed and many other nuances, on which the quality of the cut and the overall performance of the tool will depend.

Miter saws are divided into household, semi-professional and professional. This is a conditional classification, which, nevertheless, has taken root well in our realities. The class of the tool is determined by the type of engine and its power, the diameter of the saw blade, the type of transmission, the accuracy of the mechanics and other technical aspects. We will talk about them further.

Miter saws selection and comparison

Saw blade. the “weapon” of your miter saw. And it depends on its quality, efficiency and purpose what kind of material you can work with with your miter saw.

Naturally, the main material for which miter saws are used is wood of various species (soft and hard), as well as woodworking products. veneer, plywood, chipboard, etc. However, modern miter saws are increasingly used for processing other materials: plastic, plastics, laminate and even soft metals.

With all the variety of choices, the main characteristics of saw blades intended for use specifically on end saws are the dimensions of the diameters. landing and external.

The classic rim for most miter saws is 30 mm.

This characteristic varies greatly between saw blade manufacturers. Of course, there are the most common disc sizes. It. 210 mm, 216 mm, 255 mm, 305 mm.

Important! All manufacturers of miter saws describe in the instructions for use of the equipment, which saw blade diameter is standard for a particular saw. Do not risk using discs of a non-standard diameter on your trimming! Its mechanism is designed to work with specific disc sizes, and the use of non-standard consumables can provoke severe beating, the appearance of chips and burrs along the mowing line of the cut (which is often mistakenly attributed to the low quality of the saw blade), the curvature of the mowing line of the cut, as well as rapid overheating of the end motor. saws. The parameters of the protective cover on the unit are also designed for this, which do not just do not allow the use of enlarged saw blades.

However, there are far more serious and less obvious differences between saw blades from different manufacturers. It. the method of their manufacture, the material of the saw blades, as well as the sharpening and geometric shape of the cutting teeth.

Solid saw blades are not suitable even for semi-professional use. They become blunt faster, require a set of teeth, give a cut of the worst quality. Yes, practically no one produces them.

There is also a way in which discs are made in production. For example, the highest quality discs (consider the example of Bosch) are cut from blanks exclusively using a laser. This allows for the highest possible alignment of the saw blades on the miter saw shaft, as well as the best possible balancing of the blades and, accordingly, their increased durability in use. The cutting edges of the discs are also specially processed to increase their service life without the need for additional sharpening.

Thicker teeth withstand side loads better!

The angle of the cutting teeth is specially selected for the material to be cut.

In particular, for cutting metal tiles, plastic and aluminum, saw blades with cutting teeth are used, which have a negative angle of inclination of 5 degrees. Here it is important that the teeth have a different sharpening shape: odd. trapezoidal (for rough sawing), even. straight (for fine cutting of thin materials). Discs with the above configuration are perfect for, for example, thin laminate sheets. And for thicker ones, you will need discs with teeth of the same shape, but with a positive angle of inclination of about 15 degrees.

For sawing wood and materials containing wood, you need blades with a positive angle of inclination and one-sided sharpening with an alternating direction. This is the most versatile type of sharpening, used for fast cutting of wood across and along the grain, cutting multi-layer composite materials or plywood. These blades give clean cuts and sharp edges in wood.

Also, do not forget about the number of teeth on the disc.!

For coarse sawing of construction timber, formwork with adhered residues of concrete, aerated concrete, etc., saw blades with 12-16 teeth are required (for example, the Bosch Construct Wood series) and a special profile with increased resistance to foreign bodies in the wood, i.e. concrete, nails, etc.
For high-speed longitudinal cutting of wood, a saw blade with 20-24 teeth is sufficient. It will effectively remove sawdust and perform well on soft wood.
Blades with 36-48 teeth are better for cross cuts and hardwood and wood-containing materials.
If you are dealing with laminated chipboard, you need even more: 40-64 teeth. The cutting speed will decrease, the load on the saw will increase, but the cutting line will be clean.

Remember: the more teeth a saw blade with carbide teeth has, the higher its cost, because the bulk of the price of a blade is formed just from the amount of carbide taps.

If you have noticed, most of the saw blades in the professional category are also “decorated” with through-point slots or wavy lines. These patterns are usually created with a high-precision laser and have nothing to do with embellishment. Their functional purpose. compensate for thermal deformation in heated discs and reduce the noise level emitted by the miter saw during operation.
