The Features

Below we’ll run through all of the Makita LS0815FL sliding mitre saw features. There is plenty to talk about, this model covers many of the common needs of a versatile mitre saw. If you are looking for a do it all mitre saw thne have a read below.

The Motor

The motor offers plenty of power to take on some tough jobs. At 1400 watts you won’t struggle with most jobs. There are other models that have a more powerful motor like the Metabo KGS216M for less money. But don’t always judge the models by the power of the motor. With Makita’s reputation for quality and longevity this is still plenty of power for the job. The motor kicks out an rpm of up to 5,000.

Power Source

This model is a mains powered 240 volt machine that will work off a plug socket at home. There is also a 110 volt version available for those working on sites where 240 volt appliances are not allowed.

Cutting Capacity

You are getting a good all round cutting capacity with this model. You can cut up 305 mm (12 inches) at 90 degrees which is plenty for wide flooring planks and cladding. At 45 degrees the maximum cut is 215 mm wide which is still plenty for most jobs. The maximum cutting depth is approximately 65 mm (2.5 inches) which makes it perfect for slicing through plenty of 2 by 4’s.

Cutting Angles

The mitre angles are pretty standard, on the left you can set it from 0 to 50 degrees and on the left you can go from 0 to 60 degrees. Some of the common angles used can be set very easily with preset positive mitre stops. Theses angles are 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, 45 and 50 degrees on both sides.

The bevel angles are 0 to 48 degrees on the left hand side and 0 to 5 degrees on the right. Again pretty standard and good for most jobs. There are not many angles you won’t be able to cut. The linear ball bearing system inside the body ensures that the cut is angle of the cut is really accurate.

The Blade

The blade that is supplied with this model is a standard Makita 216mm mitre saw TCT blade. This is good for cutting wood and other blades can easily be purchased for other materials. Other models like the Evolution range do come with a more versatile blades that will cut some metals, plastics and wood out of the box. If you need a number of blades make sure you factor this into the cost. The blade bore is 30mm on this model which is an easy size to purchase blades for.

Portability

This is fairly easy to move around. The blade can be locked down when not in use and the grab handle make it pretty easy to move around. However, this is not the lightest mitre saw available. Weighing around 14 kilos you are definitely going to feel this one if you are lugging it to and from jobs. There are lighter models on the market like the Evolution R210SMS+ which weighs approximately 11 kilos. Again, bare in mind that the Makita range is built for hard work so robust build quality is very important and this will often add a little weigh to the saw.

Safety

The safety features are what you would expect on a saw like this. It has a dust bag to minimize dust in the working area, although a proper dust remover would be the best thing if you are cutting a lot indoors. The blade has a cover that automatically covers the spinning blade, this retracts as the saw cuts through the material. There is also two side supports that will help hold the longer pieces of timber in place. A good addition to this model would be a mitre saw bench for safety and ease of use.

Lazer Guide

A built in lazer guide will help you line up you cuts for greater accuracy especially if you are cutting on low light.

What The Customers Say

The Makita LS0815FL mitre saw is very popular mitre saw with many great reviews and positive customer feedback on various sites. Below are some of the common themes we have found whilst reading these reviews.

Easy to set up

A few beginners have commented on how easy it is to set this saw. This is pretty important if you are new to using a mitre saw. Often people buy there first mitre saw when it is needed for a job straight away.

Great accuracy

I have noted that there are many comments from tradesman to beginners that have commented on the accuracy of the LS0815FL. This is really important especially in finishing carpentry where you want your jobs to look the best the possibly can.

Very well priced

For a high quality mitre saw the price is very good on this model. It is slightly more expensive than some other models out there but you are paying for the Makita build quality. If you think you are going to be using it a lot then this is an important consideration.

Conclusion

To sum this one up it is a brilliant mitre saw that is well priced. Many people associate Makita tools with being very expensive and only for trade use. This model however is designed for all. It will do most jobs around the home with ease, unless you are taking on some very serious cutting tasks of large timbers this will take on most things.

The feature set is comprehensive and covers most general tasks from flooring to finishing work. There are more powerful and feature rich mitre saws on the market but you will pay a lot more for them.

For the first time buyers out there we think it is worth spending that little extra to buy a saw that is going to last you a very long time. Highly recomeneded!

The Makita DLS714Z Review

Makita DLS714Z Slide Compound Mitre Saw Twin 18V Cordless LTX 190mm (Body Only), 1 W, 36 V, Multi, Large

There is no doubt about it, our Makita DLS714Z review has discovered a fantastic mitre saw with many benefits. It is built with accuracy and hard work in mind like all Makita power tools. Well priced at the higher end of the DIY models and affordable for the trades.

We think this is a great saw, but should you buy a DLS714Z Cordless mitre saw? Well, do you already have Makita mitre saw batteries for other power tools or are you looking to start building a set of cordless power tools? If the answer is you have other brands of cordless power tools then it would probably be a lot cheaper and easier to stick with them if the batteries are compatible with all of their tools. If, however, you have some Makita batteries already then we would highly recommend adding the DLS714Z to your tool kit.

If you are looking to start collecting a set of cordless power tools, then Makita is a great way to go. They have an extensive range of high quality tools that all run off the same batteries. This would be a great mitre saw to get started with.

Check Amazon Prices  ℹ 

The Features

The DLS714Z is packed with high end features that will give quality cuts and will last a long time. As with all Makita power tools, the features are professional quality and are used by many carpenters and builders. Also a great set up for a house renovator or DIY enthusiast with the budget.

The Motor

One stand out feature of this model is the motor. It is a 36 volt DC brush less motor that delivers brilliant power and performance. One thing that you notice with a lot of battery powered saw is that they don’t deliver as much power and can be slower to user. This brushless motor gives similar performance to the main powered mitre saws. As well as great performance, brushless motors are built to last as there is not as much where on them. You are much less likely to burn out this type of motor. For heavy users this is a a great feature, you may be investing a bit more in the initial purchase but in the long run it may be a wise buy.

The 18 Volt Batteries

The motor is powered by two lithium ion batteries. One thing to be careful of is that the batteries are not included with this unit. This price needs to be factored in when considering buying the Makita DLS714Z mitre saw. If you want spare batteries as well then you will need to buy more. A twin pack of Makita 18v 3.0Ah batteries will cost anything from fifty pounds upwards. Run time on these batteries is very dependent on how hard the motor is working and the power of the batteries.

Cutting Capacity

It has a medium cutting capacity that is ideal for most finishing jobs and smaller construction jobs, 52mm (2 inches) by 300mm (11.8 inches) at 90 degrees and 52mm (2 inches) by 212mm (8.3 inches) at 45 degrees. It will cruise through 2 by 4 and wood flooring with ease plus tackle a lot of out door work easily.

Cutting Angles

The mitre angles on this model are great for some tight angles. They are 0 degrees to 47 degrees on the left and 0 degrees to 57 degrees right. There are 5 set angles that easily click into place for accurate standard cuts, the settings are at the following angles; 0, 15, 22.5, 30 and 45 degrees.

The bevel action give you angles on both the left and right of up to 45 degrees on the left side and 5 degrees on the right. This makes it a pretty versatile saw when cutting some awkward angles when trying to get a nice finish.

The Blade

The 190mm blade that comes with this model is a standard TCT blade, other blades can be bought that will cut through other materials. Spare blades are easy to purchase. The bore size is 20mm which again is pretty common.

Portability

This is where the Makita DLS714Z Cordless really comes into it’s own. It folds down into a compact and lightweight, easy to carry package that can easily be carried from job to job. The major advantage of this is that it can be used where there is no power supply. As long as you have charged the batteries you can be working in a building with no power or outside with ease. No more dragging extension leads around. Also great on sites where 240 volts main powered tools are not allowed. Just remember to have spare batteries or you may have to stop work to get another charge!

Storage is nice and easy, the body locks down into a flat position making it easy to slide into a shelf or pack into the van. Weighing in at slightly over 12 kilos, there are lighter corded models out there like the Evolution R210SMS but the difference is negligible.

Safety

The safety features are pretty standard, the handles are well designed to keep you away from the cutting area. The blade cover automatically covers the blade as it is pulled up from a cut. There are extension bars on either side to help manage longer pieces of material, helping to keep the saw stable. A good addition to this would be a good mitre saw stand, but again this would be an extra expense.

Dust Collection

A small dust bag is supplied with this model which may catch some dust but in real working conditions it won’t collect a lot. If you are working inside it would be wise to connect it up to a dust collector that will do a much better job and keep the air clean that you are working in.

What The Customers Say

There are many great customer reviews of the DLS714Z out there on sites such as Power Tool World and Amazon, these are always a good indicator of the quality of the delivered product. Below we have a look at some of the comments made.

Very Portable

Many are surprised at how portable it is whilst still giving out the performance of a corded model. You are paying a bit extra for the brush less motor but it is well worth it when you don’t have to mess around with cables or have no power source.

Robust Build Quality

A common theme is how good the Makita DLS714Z build quality is. Like all Makita tools they are designed to with stand the rigours of day to day life on a building site so there is no surprise!

Don’t Need A Transformer

This is blessing for many trades people. If you have a lot of kit to lug to and from jobs it can be a pain if you need a heavy 100 volt transformer and the cable to go with. Not any more, just a couple of small batteries and you are away.

Conclusion

In summary this is a fantastic mitre saw. It is on the expensive side and you do need to purchase batteries but if you are a regular user then it is worth the investment. Make sure that Makita tools are the brand for you before you start to invest as the batteries are not cheap and you want to be able to share them around between power tools.

In terms of build quality it is fantastic. The state of the art brushless motor is powerful and delivers plenty of power for a cordless mitre saw, you may be disappointed with the power of the cheaper battery mitre saws. I know that cordless saws I have used in the past can run out of battery very quickly if the cuts are tough which is not ideal, so this is a really great feature.

It will tackle most job pretty easily and unless you are working with large roof timbers or similar will probably fit your needs. We recommend the Makita DLS714Z Cordless mitre saw, a fantastic buy!

Silverline 262705 210mm

The Silverline 262705 210mm Review

Silverline 262705 - 1400W 210mm (8¼") DIY Compound Mitre Saw 230V

Check Amazon Prices  ℹ 

This is out first look at a Silverline mitre saw. They only offer a couple of saws in the UK market which are good all rounders and good value. The 262705 is a compact compound mitre saw which is fantastic for occasional use and for the DIY users out there but probably not enough for a lot of tradesmen that are using them every day for commercial work.

This is the perfect gift idea for any budding home carpenter that is looking to get to grips with woodwork. By starting with a model like this you will be able to work on a lot of projects to see if it is something you want to continue with. If you find you want to progress you could upgrade at a later date.

With a saw like this it is small and can be easily put away and forgotten about until the next job that it is needed for. If you are not looking to spend a great deal but want to add a handy mitre saw to your tool collection then read on as this could be for you.

The Features

Below we are going to look at the Silverline 262705 features, they are basic but more than enough for a lot of projects and add hoc jobs. There are some real benefits to this model as well as some drawbacks which need to be considered.

The 1400 watt Motor

The 1400 watt motor is a nice touch for a saw of this size. It will give you plenty of power for a lot of tough materials. When you look at the Evolution equivalent model it only has a 1200 watt motor. This extra bit if grunt is going to be really useful when you are cutting some tough hard woods like oak or cutting through aluminium and metals.

Cutting Capacity

The maximum cutting capacity is 120 mm (4.7 inches) by 50 mm (1.96 inches) which could be slightly bigger to be honest. It will still cut a lot of timbers that are available for smaller finishing work and garden jobs. This cutting capacity diminishes as you start to add angles to the cut. This is what we would expect from a saw of this size and capacity, it is not designed for the bigger jobs.

Cutting Angles

There is plenty of scope with this mitre saw to cut a lot of tricky angles. The maximum mitre angle goes from 0 to 45 degrees to the left and right and has a bevel angle of 0 – 45 degrees. There isn’t a quick lock in system for a lot of the angles that are used a lot which is available on other models. This helps with accuracy and speed so would be a nice feature to have.

The Blade

This model is supplied with 210mm 24 tooth TCT Silverline chop saw blade. Great for all round cutting of wood and composite materials like plastic piping etc. There are a lot more blades available on the market if you are looking for a fine cut or want to cut other materials.

Portability and Storage

This is a real benefit that lot of people don’t really consider. When you are doing a mitre saw comparison most of us are drawn to which has the most power or biggest cut. The one thing to bare in mind is that they are very large units that need to be stored and moved. This is a convenient compact saw that can be easily carried around with other kit or stored in a small space in the garage. For a lot of us this is a big consideration especially if you have a lot of other power tools. The actual dimension are 47.8 high by 29.4 cm wide and 29.4 cm deep if you need to check the available space you have.

Safety

The Silverline 262705 safety features are fairly comprehensive. It comes with a dust bag to collect dust from small jobs. This won’t get a lot of the dust out of the room if you are cutting a lot of wood, in that case you could connect it to a device to remove a lot of dust.

The blade cover is made of metal and covers the whole blade when the saw is not in use. This will gradually open to allow the saw to cut and close as the saw is lifted up and away from the material.

3 Year Warranty

The 262705 comes with a 3 year Silverline warranty. Even though this is not an expensive saw it is worth having for peace of mind. It is also on par with the Evolution range. Silverline are a very large tool company, many of us like to have the backing of a big company when making a purchase.

What The Customers Say

This model has good ratings but has had some mixed feed back. Here are a few common themes from many of the customers out there.

Compact

Easy to lug around from job to job and move around the house for quick tasks. It’s really light which means you can carry other things as well.

Great Value

This is one of the cheaper models on the market and will do a high percentage of the jobs the larger and more expensive saws will do. You get a lot for your money and still get a quality mitre saw.

Adjustment Not To Easy

A couple of people have had difficulty in getting it accurately adjusted. This may take a little time, but well worth spending the time to get the adjustment just right to get really accurate cuts.

Conclusion

I would say this is a great starter mitre saw or one for occasional use. If are working on a garden project or around the home this going to successfully tackle an awful lot of jobs for very little money. It is not a saw for larger jobs jobs or sites where you are going to need something a lot more robust.

An ideal DIY gift for the enthusiast looking to dip a tie into the world of woodwork. If it’s not in use it won’t dominate your work space like a lot of the bigger models. It could also be good to compliment your your bigger saws.

It could also be a good compliment to a larger workshop mitre saw. One that you can quickly set up to make some fast cuts on a job that may not require something bigger. Definitely a good addition to your tool kit.

Lets have a look at a really compact compound mitre saw that is fantastic for a lot of jobs and won’t break the bank. The Evolution R210CMS has a huge range of features that will take on many jobs and it also has a lot of benefits that the sliding mitre saws don’t have.

One thing you can’t argue with is the Evolution R210CMS price. You get a huge amount of saw for your money. For a lot of DIY users you need a wide range of power tools to cover all of the day to day jobs in the house. This can get expensive if you buy high end models for all jobs. The reality is you may not need them. If you are leaving a lot of the heavy cutting and construction to builders a larger sliding mitre saw may be over kill for you.

You need to think carefully about what work you will be doing. Whilst not having the capacity to cut wide planks, the R210CMS has the ability to work around the house on lots of finishing jobs like skirtings as well as cutting timbers for garden construction. If you are not in need of the sliding function you could save an awful lot of money.

The Features

The features of this model cover all of the basics that a lot of us need, leaving out some of the bulkier and more expensive features also brings it’s own benefits. Have read below for more detail.

The 1200 watt Motor

The 1200 watt motor is ample for the size of cuts that you will be making with this saw. It still has plenty of power to work on tough materials. A larger motor would make it heavier and bulkier and would not be needed.

Cutting Capacity

The maximum cross cut capability is 125mm (4.9 inches) by 55mm (2.1 inches) which is plenty for most DIY applications. The cutting capacity does reduce as the angles get tighter but still plenty for finishing woodwork around the home.

Evolution Power Tools R210CMS Compound Mitre Saw With Multi-Material Cutting, 45° Bevel, 45° Mitre, 1200W, (230 V)

Cutting Angles

You can cut some very accurate angles with a 0 to 45 degrees adjustment and a 45 to -45 degrees mitre adjustment.

The mitre adjustments have easy lock in points for commonly used angles which are 0, 15, 22.5, 30, and 45 degrees.

This a good range of angles and covers most jobs.

The Blade

As with all of the Evolution saws this model comes with a super versatile 210mm 20 tooth blade that will cut wood, plastic, aluminum and some other metals.

This is a great feature on a saw that is easy to move about and use. You won’t have to keep changing the blade unless it for a very specific job.

The bore is 25.4 mm which fits other Evolution blades and has a kerf of 1.7mm.

Portability and Storage

This is where this model really comes into it’s own. It is very light at 5.8 kilos compared the
sliding mitre saws like the R210SMS at 11.2kg. If you need to carry it around with other kit it is going to be very easy.

In terms of storage it is easy to pack away in a garage or the boot of a car. The dimensions are 260 wide by 393 high and 381 deep compared to the R210SMS which is 314mm deep by 575mm high by 610mm wide. It’s a considerable difference if you are tight on space.

Safety

The Evolution R210CMS safety features are as you would expect. A cast aluminum black blade guard that automatically opens and closes as the saw is pulled down to cut.

There is a dust port so that you can attach a dust bag or a dust collection device if you are in a particularly dusty area.

3 Year Warranty

What The Customers Say

We think this is a great mitre saw, let’s see what some of the customers have to say.

Very Small

A number of people have commented on just how small and compact this model is making it easy to move around. Good for jobs where bigger saws are over the top.

Great Value

At between £50 and £70 this really is great value for money. Many people comment on this and it is one of the key selling points. If you are not a tradesman this may not get used that often so you don’t want to spend a fortune.

Evolution R210CMS adjustment

The adjustment on this model is nice and easy. You only need two allen keys and set square to make sure that the blade is lined up for accurate cuts horizontally and vertically.

Evolution Power Tools R210CMS Compound Mitre Saw With Multi-Material Cutting, 45° Bevel, 45° Mitre, 1200W, (230 V)

Conclusion

To sum it up this is a fantastic light weight compound mitre saw that is easy to move from job to job and great value for money. The features are pretty standard but plenty for a tool of this cost and size.

If you are thinking of buying a standard chop saw then this could be a good upgrade for a little bit more money, it will work as a chop saw with no issues and cut the finer angles when you need them.

All in all a great buy for a general mitre saw for smaller jobs.

On this page we are going to look at the Evolution 255mm mitre saw. This is a step up from the smaller R210SMS and offers a lot of features for the money.

The 2000 watt Motor

The motor supplied is a 2000 watt electric motor with plenty of punch for heavy use and cutting tough materials. This is a significant step up from the R210SMS+ plus which has a 1500 watt motor. This is run from a 230 volt mains connection which will run from a plug at home but will not be able to be used on a lot of sites that need a 110 volt power source.

Evolution Power Tools R255SMS+ Compound Saw with Multi-Material Cutting, 45° Bevel, 50° Mitre, 300 mm Slide, 2000 W, 255 mm, 220-240 V, (3-Years Warranty)

Cutting Capacity

The Evolution R255SMS Plus has a large cutting capacity, the sliding mechanism make it good for wider cuts.

It will cut up to 300mm in width which is good for a range of planks.

Maximum capacity is 300 by 80 millimetres which will easily cut through 2 x 4 lengths of timber.

Cutting Angles

The single bevel action gives a range of angles from 0 to 45 degrees. The mitre angles are up to 50 degrees on both the left and right of giving a great range of cutting angles and when combined with the bevel angles. The mitre angles can be set with a pre set lock in at 0, 15,22.5, 30 and 45 degrees. These are very common cutting angles and can be set in a second.

The laser supplied helps you view the cuts and get the angles lined up well in awkward light. It is a pretty standard feature on a worksaw at this level. There are better cutting guide systems out there on the Dewalt and some other more comprehensive laser guides.

The Blade

The blade supplied is a very versatile 28 tooth multi material blade. The R255-TCT mitre saw blade will cut wood, aluminium and plastic. Great for lots of jobs as well as carpentry, it will cut through copper and push fit pipes with ease leaving you with a clean and accurate cut for connecting the pipes. The bore size is 25.4 mm in case you do need to buy a different blade. This is a big plus for this model as it will do a lot of jobs out of the box without carrying around spare blades.

Portability

It is not the lightest mitre saw available and it is quite big but it is well designed to make it easy to move around. It has a built in carry handle which makes it easy to load in to the car or carry around a site. If you are using this for the workshop then it won’t be an issue. At just over 15 kilos it is quite heavy but it needs to be big to cover such a range of cuts.

That heaviness of course gives this an advantage over other similar types of tool like a hand held or smaller portable circular saw that would be far less sturdy and stable.

Safety

There are some good safety on this model. A dust collection bag is supplied but it can also be connected up to a dust collection machine via the port which is handy when you are making a lot of cuts.

The blade cover is sturdy and automatically closes as the saw is lifted up from cutting to protect you from the exposed blade. The table is fairy wide and there is a clamp supplied to hold material in place while it is being cut. This is an ideal mitre saw to have on a stand so that you are standing in a good position to cut and the stand will help support longer pieces of wood. Evolution offer a mitre saw stand which a good complimentary buy with this model.

Conclusion

To sum it up this is a great buy if you have the space to store it. It is a large saw that can cut a wide range of materials, angles and sizes of timbers. If you’re looking for a small chop saw, try the R210SMS+ 210mm option instead.

Competing with many more expensive saw it holds its own in terms of customer feedback. It’s not the sort of tool you’ll find all year round in B&Q, Wickes and Homebase due to its size, but does offer a lot of features for a very reasonable price.

Two stand out features are the long warranty and the multi material saw blade.

All in all a great mitre saw from Evolution.
