Question 1

Are mitre saws suitable for beginner woodworkers?

Accepted Answer

Easy enough for a beginner and versatile enough for almost any project, the mitre saw is considered an ideal first saw for DIY enthusiasts and beginner woodworkers alike. The mitre saw can deliver a range of cuts, including the mitre, bevel, and cross-cut, allowing users to try their hand at a wide range of projects. The mitre saw also includes a few safety features that can help newbies feel more confident, such as the handle and trigger and blade guard. The handle and trigger are reminiscent of that on a lawnmower, helping you start and stop the blade while the blade guard covers the blade and retracts as you lower it – helping users keep all their fingers. Simple to operate and with long-lasting tungsten carbide-tipped blades, if you choose a good quality mitre saw, those DIY or woodworking projects can be completed quickly and simply.

Question 2

Where can I buy replacement mitre blades?

Accepted Answer

Each of our mitre saws comes with a blade to get you started. However, if you need additional mitre blades, look no further than our wide range of replacement mitre blades at Kendal Tools & Machinery. Tooth shapes can vary, delivering the ability to cut different materials, so whether you need a blade suitable for hardwoods or simple MDF, we have the blade for you. The number of teeth determines the speed of cutting, type, and finish. Fewer teeth guarantee faster cutting speeds with rougher cuts, while an increased number of teeth creates a finer finish. As most mitre saws require high-quality TCT blades, we also stock a wide variety of tungsten carbide-tipped circular blades, specifically designed for use in mitre or circular saws. For more information about which blade is the perfect fit for your new mitre saw, either view the product information on each saw or give our experts a call at 01539 733 774 for assistance.

Question 3

Do I need a mitre saw stand?

Accepted Answer

Mitre saws do not require a stand to function correctly, so not everyone chooses to purchase a universal mitre stand with their mitre saw. However, for those looking for increased accuracy and productivity, a mitre saw stand is considered essential – especially for those working with wood as part of their job. A sturdy, high-quality stand will ensure your saw doesn’t wobble or shake during use, thereby improving the accuracy of each cut you make. Using a mitre saw stand also helps prevent back pain and stress from stooping during cutting. To find your ideal universal mitre stand or workstation, browse our selection at Kendal Tools & Machinery, including models from Scheppach and SIP.
