Mitre saw
A sliding saw pulls out and cuts on a rail system.Thanks all. Those de Walts are nice I'm sure, but anything north of £200 is stretching the budget a bit. There's a second hand Makita on ebay which looks OK, I'll check it out properly later if it hasn't gone. What's everyone using re blade size, and what's the difference between a siding or a compound saw or whatever?
So the sliding saw can do wider cuts then? I'm looking at a non-sliding one with a 10" blade which can do 5" cuts, does that seem like it would do?A sliding saw pulls out and cuts.
A compound saws feature blades that pivot left and right for angled cuts and tilt in a single direction for beveled cuts
Yes the sliding saw tend to have a larger blade for bigger cuts.So the sliding saw can do wider cuts then? I'm looking at a non-sliding one with a 10" blade which can do 5" cuts, does that seem like it would do?
