Mitre Saw

MITRE SAW

A Mitre Saw has different types and makes. There is the Manual mitre Saw which consists of a of metal frame saw that has replaceable blades that are suspended on rollers in a metal guide that can be tightened down in order to give the same angle cut time after time. The guide on the mitre Saw can be loosened and the angle changed at anytime. The saw is powered by hand using a back and forth movement.
Most professionals and do-it-yourself handymen now use the electrically powered mitre saw which is much easier and quicker than the manual model. The mitre saw has a circular blade which can be pulled downward onto a piece of material being cut at many possible angles depending on what the requirements are for your home renovation ideas. There is an index which indicates at what angle you are cutting in reference to the bar that the material is being held against to hold it firm while the mitre saw makes its cut. Many models also includes stops at the more popular angles used to cut.
Depending on the model, a mitre saw may have many features that prove handy in many home renovation ideas. A compound feature lets the horizontal angle be varied allowing bevel cutting. Some models come with a laser guide showing exactly where the cut will be made. As well some models come with a blade guard on the mitre saw that automatically retracts when the saw is lowered into position to start cutting and retracts into the safety position when the saw is raised up again.
Dust bags which collect sawdust from the mitre saw and keep it away from the work being done, and safety clamps that clamp the piece being cut firmly into place before the cut being made are all other features that can be included with a mitre saw, depending on the make and model.
