Motorized or automatic miter and chop saws are power tools used to make quicker and more accurate crosscuts in work pieces, especially for cutting of molding for decorative purposes and framing purposes. Motorized miter saws tend to be relatively small and portable in nature, and they have a number of different blade sizes ranging from only eight inches to twelve inches. The miter index allows the blade's angle to be changed based on the fence, which precise incremental changes of only one degree at a time and much more broad stops that allow for angular changes of 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees and so on.

 

Miter and chop saws are an important addition to any workshop where framing or box making is done, where general construction of furniture is completed, or where molding is cut. Miter and chop saws have a variety of different features, differing across the myriad of different models available. Some popular features that increase the ability of the miter saw include compound features, slides, laser guides, blade guards, dust bags and safety clamps.
