Total Mitre Saw 1400W TS42142101

The Total Mitre Saw 1400W TS42142101 is a corded miter saw designed for cutting lumber, trim, and other building materials at precise angles. Here’s a breakdown of its specifications and what to consider before buying:

Specifications:

• Input Power: 1400W motor provides enough power for most common miter saw tasks around the house.
• No-Load Speed: 5000 rpm allows for quick and clean cuts.
• Blade Diameter: 210mm (8-1/4″) blade is a good size for a variety of cutting applications.
• Maximum Cutting Capacity:
  • 55mm x 120mm (2-1/8″ x 4-3/4″) at 90 degrees
  • Be aware of the limited cutting capacity, especially for thicker materials.
• Mitre Cuts: 0-45 degrees left and right for angled cuts.
• Bevel Cuts: Up to 45 degrees to the left for compound miter cuts.
• Dust Bag: Included to help with dust collection while cutting (although efficiency may vary).

Power: A 1400W motor is sufficient for most home improvement projects, but if you plan to cut hardwoods or very thick materials, you might want to consider a more powerful saw.

Cutting Capacity: The maximum cutting capacity of 55mm x 120mm at 90 degrees is suitable for many framing lumber cuts and trim work. However, for thicker materials like beams or posts, this saw might be limiting.

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

Laser Guide (not confirmed): Some retailers mention a laser guide included, but it’s not universally confirmed in product descriptions. Check with the seller if this feature is important to 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 on the heavier side due to the motor. 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.
