Power Miter Saw: Named after the mitre joint that it commonly makes these saws sometimes called drop saws or chop saws are used to make cuts across the length of pieces of timber.

This is a typical small drop saw used as a portable tool, easy to carry from place to place when cutting baseboards, skirting, architraves etc. The blade size on this one is 225mm and to be expected it has fine teeth (TCT) shaped for crosscutting.

Larger versions of the same type of saw come with 355mm blades.

For more information on this type of saw look at this page.
