The Cleaning Institute

When selecting tools to add to your workbench, only the best will do. This is especially important when it comes to precision tools such as a miter saw. These saws are used for angled cuts and are considered a stationary tool that should be operated with caution. These saws need to be made of quality materials, be easy to operate, and of course, offer trusted precision for all work projects. Here at The Cleaning Institute, we have tested several available on the market to determine which stand out as the best choices.

Testing Categories

With our years of experience in product testing, we have determined which testing categories allow us to provide the best product reviews possible. The testing categories we chose for miter saws are Quality, Precision, and Ease of Use.

Top Pick

DEWALT

This saw is the top pick for anyone who wants power, precision, and adaptability in their tools. Several additions and adjustments are available to provide miter cuts and blade cutting accuracy.

Price Check

Most notable upside: Our team was impressed by the power and precision of the Dewalt. The lightweight feel was perfect for handling the workplace or projects at home. Our favorite feature was the built-in handle for added portability. The adaptability of the Dewalt gives it major value and can easily be changed to accommodate any project.

Biggest downsides: We did find a minor issue with the Dewalt and that is that it can be difficult when changing out the saw blades.

Honorable Mention

Hitachi C10FCH2 15-Amp 10-inch Single
Bevel Compound Miter
Saw with Laser Marker

This Hitachi miter saw offers more than just power and precision. The added laser marker helps make projects easier while the adjustability and miter angles allow you to take on any cuts needed.

Price Check

Most notable upside: Beyond the power of the Hitachi, We loved the added precision of the laser marker that can be switched on or off. The vibration reducing Elastomer grip adds both comfort and control. The thumb actuated stops are great for making miter cuts and the adjustability allows you to make any trim cuts you could hope for.

Biggest downsides: The only flaw we found was that the packaging and shipping may cause slight damage to the base, but it doesn’t interfere with the operation of the saw.

Also Consider

Delta Power Equipment Corporation

This saw is a great choice for anyone who needs a portable saw for work or DIY projects. The lightweight feel, table extension for stability, and laser light are amazing additions to this saw.

Price Check

Most notable upside: We found the Delta is perfect if you prefer no-frills quality equipment. It offers precision cuts, with easy adjustments. The lightweight design is great if you are an avid DIY’er or if you are looking for dependable work tools. Delta Power saw does what it promises while still providing nice power.

Biggest downsides: We did notice that some adjustments may be needed before using the Delta. It is designed to operate on one side and must be optimized for center cuts.
