Power tool for accurate angle cutting in workshops and garages. Silverline Mitre Saw pairs a 550mm blade with a 400mm solid pressure cast saw table for steadier, longer cuts. Is it the right choice for hobbyists and small workshops who need repeatable, accurate mitres?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Cutting Quality: Precise, accurate mitres and clean crosscuts up to specified dimensions
  • Best for: DIY enthusiasts and small workshops needing repeatable angle cuts
  • Not ideal for: Users who need a lightweight, highly portable handheld saw

550mm blade sits on a 400mm solid pressure cast saw table with nine pre-set mitres and an adjustable length stop. Maximum cutting width is 160mm at 90° and 100mm at 45°, with a maximum cutting height of 100mm.


Accurate Mitre Cuts - With nine pre-set mitres and a stable cast table

Nine pre-set mitre stops lock common angles quickly, while the 400mm solid pressure cast table minimises flex during cutting. User feedback notes that tightening the pivot improves angle consistency.

Quick angle selection speeds setup and consistent locking reduces rework, producing cleaner joints for frames and trim.

Handles Longer Stock - Thanks to a 550mm blade and generous table support

A 550mm blade gives longer cut capacity than smaller mitre saws, supported by the wide cast table to keep longer workpieces stable. Specified maximum cutting widths and heights define realistic material limits.

Fewer repositioning steps when cutting long lengths, making mitres on skirting, architrave and wider timber far more practical.

Repeatable Cuts Made Simple - With clamp and adjustable length stop

A built-in clamp secures material against movement while an adjustable length stop allows the same dimension to be set and used repeatedly. Both elements work together for consistent batch cutting.

Secure holding plus a repeatable stop saves time when producing multiple identical pieces for joinery or decking work.

✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Silverline Mitre Saw
