Cordless Mitre Saws

Battery powered mitre saws provide the precision of their corded counterparts with the freedom to cut mouldings, trim and framing lumber on site.  Sliding rails extend crosscut capacity, and lasers or LED cut lines guide your cuts.  Dual bevels enable complex compound cuts without flipping the workpiece.

What is a cordless mitre saw used for?

Cordless mitre saws are used for making precise crosscuts, mitre cuts, bevel cuts, and compound angles in materials like:

• Timber, laminate flooring, skirting, cornice

• Decking and framing lumber

• PVC and soft metals (with the appropriate blade)
  They’re ideal for carpentry, installation work, and on-site projects where clean, accurate angles are essential and power outlets may not be available.

Are cordless mitre saws powerful enough for professional use?

Yes. High-performance 18V or dual-battery (36V/54V) cordless mitre saws now deliver cutting capacities and precision that rival corded models. Many include:

• Brushless motors

• Large blade sizes (216–305 mm)

• Sliding rails for wide crosscuts (250–340 mm or more)
  They’re fully capable of handling framing, trim, and finish carpentry tasks with ease—especially when paired with high-capacity batteries.

What features should I look for in a cordless mitre saw?

Key features to consider:

• Blade size and sliding rail system for wider material

• Mitre and bevel range (usually 0–45° bevel, 0–50° mitre)

• Depth stop for trenching or rebates

• Shadow line or laser guide for accurate alignment

• Dust extraction compatibility
  And of course, make sure it’s compatible with your battery system to keep your tool lineup streamlined.
