Crosscuts & angles
A mitre saw is bought for capacity and kept for accuracy. We compare crosscut width, whether the mitre detents actually land on their marks, and blade deflection at the end of a slide — plus the thing every manufacturer overstates: dust collection.
Bosch Professional · Amazon Exclusive set
A professional-line Bosch slider sold as an Amazon set — and a listing that publishes nothing you could compare it on.
Best for: A buyer already committed to Bosch Professional who knows this model
≈ 400 €
216 mm · XPS shadow line · 1 400 W
The cheapest way onto DeWalt's XPS shadow line, which is the feature that changes how a mitre saw is used.
Best for: Anyone who wants an accurate cut line and does not need the bigger motor
≈ £345 / 295 €
216 mm · XPS shadow line · 1 800 W
The DWS774 with 400 more watts and a sliding fence — worth it if you cut hardwood all day, and not otherwise.
Best for: Daily use in hardwood, where the extra motor stops the saw bogging on the tenth cut
≈ £490 / 420 €
254 mm · 90 × 305 mm cut · dual bevel
The only saw here that states its capacity as a cross-section — 90 × 305 mm — which is the number you actually need.
Best for: A workshop cutting wide boards and tall sections, where capacity decides what is possible
≈ £1315 / 545 €
18 V BITURBO · 216 mm blade · dual bevel · bare tool
A cordless dual-bevel mitre saw at €430 in Germany and €599 in Spain — the widest price gap in this lot as a proportion of the price.
Best for: Second-fix carpentry away from a socket, in a shop already on AMPShare
≈ £455 / 430 €
