mitre chop saw

Post by Smudges dad »

Can anyone reccomend a good electric mitre saw for cutting moulding that's too big for the Morso?

Ive used a De Walt DW703 with good results. Never as fine a finish as a morso but you can always use the morso to shave the last sliver off to give a good finish.

Not if it's too wide for the morso, but you could use a disc sander.

To big for most workshops, expensive and need 3 phase electricity, but I would ditch the morso and buy a Cassese 939 or newer model twin bladed saw. You get a far better cut than any morso and can take hefty 5" mouldings.

Not practical for most people but they are the dogs danglies.

Hi there

We use an Omga "10 with built under extraction with good results.

You need a blade with lots of teeth as well.
