Best Miter Saws of 2025: The 5 Best to Buy

Faced with the need to often cut long workpieces, you involuntarily think about choosing the appropriate tool. Saber saw? It is difficult to set a uniform cut, especially if you have to cut the same boards at an angle, and you need an exact join.

Jigsaw with a square? Uncomfortable, slow, especially with a complex cut. In industrial conditions, long workpieces are usually cut with pendulum saws: the swinging blade on the lever cuts quickly and, most importantly, with a minimum of effort to ensure repeatability of the result.

We add to it the ability to adjust the cutting angle — and now we have a ready-made miter saw, which will find work both in the workshop and at the construction site.

In this article, we have selected for you five of the best products in the category of miter saws in the best price-quality ratio.

The first item on our list is a pretty good classic miter saw tool for hobbyists. The illumination of the working area and the laser pointer of the cutting line form a pleasant impression, supplemented by sufficient, in many cases, the length of the cut - due to the manual pulling of the head with the disk along rigidly fixed guides.

Additional convenience in work is provided by a pair of retractable expanders and a chip collection system. You can only find fault with the included bag. We also note the many available settings, thanks to which it would be possible to compare this model with professional miter saws.

It is worth noting that when buying, you can choose a saw with a laser and without a laser. If you need a laser - you will have to overpay.

  • Pros:

- Compact with good autonomy;

- Perfect Precision;

- Quality product.

  • Cons:

- Bad laser position.

The second item on our list of miter saws. This miter saw is both cheaper and lighter than other miter saws. Well, if the power of a 1600-watt motor and a 254 mm disc is enough for you, then why not? Especially if the saw often has to be removed from the workbench or transported from place to place: when folded, it is compact and weighs a little.

Although there is no soft start here, the jerk when turned on is negligible. The hinges work smoothly and do not play, the scales are quite comfortable, although adjustment after purchase is likely to be required.

The maximum cutting height is 89 mm, the width is all 162 mm. The turning mechanism has not only smooth adjustment in the range of plus or minus 50 degrees, but also the possibility of quick fixation at frequently used cutting angles. Tilt - to the left, up to 48 degrees.

  • Pros:

- Precise angle adjustment mechanism;

- Good power;

- Possibility of quick locking of rotation in 11 positions without adjustment.

  • Cons:

- No "laser sight" and illumination.

9 latches on the stainless steel trimming plate and 11 trimming positions allow for 50 degree cuts to the left or right, with 11 positive stop positions at commonly used angles.

The fourth item on our list. Bosch offers a very interesting broach saw, designed for standard 18-volt batteries of this brand: 216 mm blade, brushless motor, “equivalent to 1.5 kW mains power” (according to the manufacturer), cutting width up to 270 mm with a depth of up to 70 mm.

The blade mounts on an SDS quick-release lock for quick replacement, while a design specifically designed for frequent transport and a weight of less than 15 kg make the saw truly mobile.

The angle of rotation of the table is adjustable within 47 degrees in both directions, tilt - up to 45 degrees only to the left. The saw is set exactly from the factory and is well suited for fine work. In the presence of both LED illumination of the working area, and a laser tuned to the left plane of the disk.

  • Pros:

- Performance;

- Ease of transport;

- Build quality.

  • Cons:

- Rapid battery consumption.

The fifth and final item on our list. The saw is simple and not without some drawbacks, but this does not prevent it from being in the top of the best broach miter saws. First of all, due to its "indestructibility": in addition to the strength itself, here the resource also provides the possibility of maintenance.

There are even channels for lubricating the spindle bearings using a grease fitting, which is rare even on a professional tool - most often the bearings are put there simply “for slaughter”, according to the “worn out - change” principle.

The guides work without play for a very long time, the upper one is on a linear bearing, the lower one is adjustable, there are no questions about the belt resource. In general, this is a classic example of a simple and reliable tool for more than one year of hard work.

  • Pros:

- Compact;

- Reliable;

- Powerful.

  • Cons:

- Trial cuts required for fine tuning.
