Total 1800W Miter Saw

The Total Mitre Saw TS421825517 is a 1800W corded miter saw designed for making precise cuts in lumber, trim, and other building materials. Here’s a breakdown of its specifications and what to consider before buying:

Specifications:

• Input Power: 1800W motor provides ample power for various cutting tasks, including thicker materials.
• No-Load Speed: Information not readily available. No-load speed impacts cutting speed; a higher speed can result in cleaner cuts.
• Blade Diameter: 255mm (10″) blade is a good size for larger cuts compared to a standard 8-1/4″ blade.
• Maximum Cutting Capacity:
  • 140mm x 70mm (5-1/2″ x 2-3/4″) at 90 degrees – This is a significant improvement over the TS42142101 model, allowing you to cut thicker materials.
  • 95mm x 70mm (3-3/4″ x 2-3/4″) at 45 degrees – Again, this offers more capacity for angled cuts on thicker pieces.
• Mitre Cuts: 0-45 degrees left and right for angled cuts.
• Bevel Cuts: Up to 45 degrees to the left for compound miter cuts.
• Double Sliding Feature: This allows the saw head to slide forward on rails for increased cutting capacity, especially useful for wider materials.
• Dust Bag: Included to help with dust collection while cutting (although efficiency may vary).

Power: A 1800W motor is suitable for most cutting tasks around the house, including hardwoods and thicker materials.

Cutting Capacity: The maximum cutting capacity of 140mm x 70mm at 90 degrees is a significant advantage over the TS42142101, making it more versatile for thicker lumber.

Mitre and Bevel Angles: The standard 0-45 degree mitre cuts (left and right) and 45-degree bevel cuts (left only) offer versatility for angled cuts.

Double Sliding Feature: A key advantage of this model, allowing you to tackle wider materials compared to similar saws without this feature.

Laser Guide (not confirmed): Information on a laser guide is not available in all sources. Check with the seller if this feature is important for you for cutting precision.

Dust Collection: While a dust bag is included, user reviews might indicate how efficient the dust collection system is.

Weight and Portability: The weight of the saw is not specified, but it’s likely heavier due to the motor and sliding mechanism. Consider portability if you need to move the saw around the worksite.

Brand Reputation and Customer Service: Total is a budget-friendly brand, so factor in potential limitations in features or durability compared to more established power tool brands. Research user reviews and warranty information.
