Chop saw (ETL6772) Check Availability

WHAT IT DOES

A chop saw has a circular saw blade mounted on an arm that pivots up and down. It is used to make short cuts (for example, cutting a long piece of material to smaller lengths) and is suitable for cutting metal.

If you need to cut wood at an exact angle, consider using a mitre saw instead. For longer, straight cuts, consider a table saw.

Tilt and slide mitre saw

This Mitre Saw is ideal for cutting wood, laminated panels and plastic. The saw head can be tilted to the left and right for high flexibility in setting mitres on two sides. It has workpiece supports on two sides, a clamping device for reliable securing and a workpiece stop with rails that adjust to the left and right which enable safe, precise operation
