Crosscuts & angles · review
The cheapest saw here that states its crosscut width — 340 mm (13.4 in) — and the widest on this page below €200.
The end of it The budget choice that publishes its numbers — which, in this category, is most of the argument.
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.
216 mm (8.50 in) blade, 2,000 W, 65 mm (2.56 in) of cut height, 340 mm (13.4 in) of cut width, a laser cut line, a swivelling table, and two blades supplied.
Every mitre saw in this price bracket has enough motor. What separates them is how wide a board they will cut in one pass, and how tall. Scheppach states both, which is more than several of the more expensive saws here manage — the Bosch GCM 8 SJL listing publishes nothing at all.
65 mm (2.56 in) of height is the limit worth understanding. It handles architrave, skirting laid flat and floorboards. It does not handle skirting stood on edge, which is how you cut it if you want a clean mitre on a tall profile.
A laser projects a red line near the cut. A shadow line puts an LED behind the blade and lets the blade cast its own shadow onto the workpiece. The difference is not cosmetic: a laser is a separate part aimed at where the blade is supposed to be, so it needs calibration and it drifts; a shadow is cast by the blade itself, so it shows the actual kerf, it moves when you change the blade, and there is nothing to align. On a saw you will own for a decade, that is the feature worth paying for.
This saw has the laser. At this price that is the expected compromise, and it is worth knowing that most owners stop using it and cut to a pencil line instead.
Catalogued and unsold: the American Amazon shop lists the reference with nobody behind it.

It covers most interior trim, floorboards up to 300 mm (11.8 in), and framing timber laid flat. What it does not cover is a 400 mm (15.7 in) shelf board in one pass. Crosscut width is the specification to check first on a mitre saw, and it is the one most often missing from a listing.
Because a mitre saw blade is a consumable and the one in the box is rarely the one you want. Treat the spare as the reason to fit a proper negative-rake blade sooner rather than later.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.
