Hi, having just purchased a mitre saw I thought I'd make a small box this weekend with mitred corners. However this got me thinking what is the best way to cut accurate mitred joints? with the saw vertical but at a 45 degree mitre angle - with the timber face against the fence with the saw...

I'd like to thank everyone for their valuable time in responding. Just thought I'd update you - I found a (practically new, still in its box!) Makita LS1019L on ebay for £270. Its soooo AWESOME!! A bit past the budget I set myself but I don't think its ever been used and at less than half price...

Thanks Brian, what blade do you have in yours? I'm beginning leaning towards the Hyundai if for no other reason than he fact its 255mm diameter!!

Thanks again!! Really appreciate your help.

Spectric, I'm definitely asking for to much. I want my cake AND I want to eat it 🤣 Just can't justify the cost of those premium brands. I wonder with the criteria of forward facing rails, is there anything decent for less than £400?

Thanks PDW125

Thanks ey_tony for taking the time to post a comprehensive review but as BucksDad says I need to save space, so forward rails is a necessity.

Fleyh thank you... I think 🤣 I'm going to count that as a vote for dewalt Dewalt 3 Hyundai 1 Hikoki 1

I've never really been a fan of the laser line and no experience of shadow line. Thanks Bucksdad. Dewalt 2 Hyundai 1 Hikoki 1

Nah, I can probably get away without trenching

Thanks Sachakins. DeWalt 2 Hyundai 1 😃

Thanks Brian! DeWalt 1 Hyundai 1

Thanks Etaf! That's a vote for the DeWalt Any more for any more???

I'm in the market for a mitre saw and was looking for buying advice. I'm just a hobbyist, but I cut everything from picture frames, segmented bowl turning blanks, 2x4 studwork, oak beams, garden sleepers and pretty much everything in-between 🤣 What I want is a Bosch glide or Festool kapex or...

My first segmented bowl, made from oak. Doing the inside was terrifying, but after several catches and knocking it off the chuck a couple of times (I'm relatively new to turning, with limited tools and equipment) I think I got there in the end.
