Crosscuts & angles · review
A compact slider that cuts steel as well as timber, and the lightest genuine mitre saw here.
The end of it A specialist that happens to be cheap. On timber alone, the Scheppach cuts wider for less.
Every figure is a manufacturer specification, read off the listing itself, and the judgments are ours — drawn from how the specification behaves in this class of machine and from what long-term owners consistently report. Where a figure is missing, we say so rather than fill it in.
210 mm (8.27 in) blade, 1,500 W, 230 mm (9.06 in) of slide capacity, and a carbide-tipped multi-material blade rated for wood, metal and plastic.
Renovation rather than furniture. On a site where the next cut might be a softwood stud, a length of steel angle or a plastic conduit, one saw that does all three without a blade change is worth real time. In a workshop that only sees timber, the same money buys more crosscut width elsewhere.
A tooth geometry that survives mild steel is not the geometry that leaves a clean shoulder on oak. The cut is acceptable, not fine. Buy a dedicated negative-rake wood blade — see our saw blade hub for why the rake angle matters on a chop saw specifically — and keep the multi-material blade for the metal days.
Hot steel chips into an extractor full of sawdust is a genuinely bad combination. Disconnect the extraction for metal cuts and sweep up instead.
No such listing: the American Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.

Yes — that is the company's founding trick, and it works dry, without coolant and without the shower of sparks an abrasive chop saw produces. Keep the supplied blade for metal and fit a proper wood blade for wood; the saw is better at both jobs that way.
For skirting, architrave and stud, no. For a 300 mm (11.8 in) floorboard or a shelf, yes — and no technique gets round it. Measure the widest thing you cut regularly before choosing on price.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.
