The market offers a large variety of miter saws: for wood, iron, with various cuts, and in various sizes. The purchase guide was made to give basic information and some advice to the custumer.

1. What is the cutter used for?

If you are a carpenter, a hobbyist or simply a DIY lover, you know that there is always a  miter saw in the laboratory. They are ideal if you plan to make various cuts:

• Of precision
• In series
• Without any smearing

They can also be fixed to a bench to give more stability during the cutting phase.

2. What can I cut with the miter saw?

The miter saw is designed to cut 2 types of materials :

• Wood
• Iron and steel

The wood sawing machine can be distinguished in 3 different products according to the type of cut :

• Fixed: with a head (cutting organ) which permits one movement from the top downwards. And on average it has a cutting capacity of 120 x 50 mm to a maximum of 185 x 85 mm.

• With an upper shelf: Some cutting-offs, above the blade, have an aluminum shelf that once secured can perform all those cuts that require greater precision: in some models, the protractor and the guide bar allow 45° cuts. The cutting height of the circular saw varies from a minimum of 3 cm to a maximum of 5.5 cm .

• Radial: the radial miter saw can make lateral cuts and miter cuts and make forward and back movements; this makes it particularly suitable if you have to cut large surfaces. The cutting capacity of this machine is between 340 mm in width and 105 mm in height . Ultimately, the radial saw has a greater cutting capacity.

The miter saw for iron and steel is a different product from the wood saw. It has a toothless disk, as this machine does not cut, but heats the iron up to divide it. In addition, it is equipped with a vise to securely fix the iron to be cut.

Taking the AEG SMT 355 , 2300 W as a reference , the cutting capacity may vary depending on the shape of the cut profile :

• For a profiled to " L " the cutting capacity is: 90 ° = 115 mm / 45 ° = 95 mm .

• For a tubular profile : 90 ° = 115 mm / 45 ° = 115 mm .

• For a profiled shape square : 90 ° = 120 x 110 mm / 45 ° = 120 x 95 mm .

• For a profiled shape rectangular : 90 ° = 120 x 110 mm / 45 ° = 120 x 95 mm .
