“Men don't talk face to face, they talk shoulder to shoulder"

A mitre saw is a specialized tool that lets you make cuts at a variety of angles. The saw has a blade mounted on a swing arm that pivots left or right to produce angled cuts. You can use a mitre saw to quickly make cuts for crown molding, picture frames, door frames, window casings and more. You'll find three variations: Compound Mitre Saws feature blades that pivot left and right for angled cuts and tilt in a single direction for beveled cuts. Manipulating the saw on both of its axes at once yields a compound mitre cut. Compound mitre saws are useful for picture frames, crown molding or any project that requires angled cuts in two planes. They offer the advantage of making compound cuts in one pass. Dual Compound Mitre Saws function like compound mitre saws, but while compound mitre saws tilt in only one direction, dual compound mitre saws can tilt both left and right. They can quickly create bevels at any angle. Sliding Compound mitre Saws have all the versatility of compound mitre saws and a sliding feature, similar to a radial arm saw, allowing you to move the blade forward and backward. The major advantage of the sliding feature is the increased length of cut it provides.
