A mitre saw is essential if you’re regularly working with wood. Mitre saws deliver clean and accurate cuts at a variety of angles. At Toolstation, we know that you demand precision when sawing wood – that’s why we only stock the best and most trusted brands. With such a wide range of sizes available, this is the place to find the best mitre saw for your next job – blade sizes can vary from 185mm or 210mm for smaller jobs, up to 305mm when a greater cutting depth is required. An electric mitre saw is stationary, and you pull the blade downwards into the material. This is different to a circular saw where you feed the blade through the material, and you can make cross cuts, mitre cuts and bevel cuts with complete precision. Single bevel mitre saws will swing the blade one way only but, if you choose a double bevel mitre saw, you can make blade angle adjustments to the left and right – perfect if you want to make cuts in any direction. For even greater versatility, consider a cordless mitre saw. You won’t have to worry about power cables or extension leads, and you can work anywhere the job takes you.

Sliding Mitre Saws

A sliding mitre saw gives you the added advantage of moving the blade forward, rather than just up or down. The saw slides on a bar, giving you a back-and-forth movement which helps you work with thicker, longer pieces of wood or timber.

Compound Mitre Saws

Want to make a mitre cut and a bevel cut at the same time? That’s when a compound mitre saw comes in handy – you’re able to tilt the blade and head to a variety of angles, achieving what’s known as a compound cut. By cutting two angles at once, a compound saw is a real time-saver.

Chop Saws

A chop saw tends to have a more powerful motor and a larger blade, delivering a greater depth of cut into wood or other materials. Sometimes known as a drop saw, these chop saws are designed for straight cuts and lack the precision of a mitre saw – they’re perfect for making rough crosscuts, or working with tougher metal materials. At Toolstation, you’ll find an extensive DeWalt mitre saw range alongside other leading trade and DIY brands. Looking for an Evolution mitre saw? Or maybe one from Milwaukee or Makita? You’ve come to the right place.
