When choosing a mitre saw one of the key considerations is the diameter of the blade, this determines the width and depth of the cut. Other factors to think about include do you want a compound mitre saw which enables bevels to be cut at any angle or a sliding mitre saw (sometimes referred to as crosscut mitre saws), which have all the flexibility of a compound mitre saw whilst allowing the cutting head to slide out on rails considerably increasing the cut. Mitre saws are used both in workshops and onsite for a wide selection of tasks including window and soffit fitting, attaching architrave, door frames and a host of other cutting tasks.
