Best mitre saw

Hi. I’m currently using a makita mls100 mitre saw, but looking to get something bigger as the cut is only about 150mm,

I’m Going to get a dewalt saw to match rest of my kit. Anyone tell me the best saw to get, I’ll be cuttin 170mm etc.

Thanks

Specs on the Makita says it cuts 75mm x 130mm max… although you will probably get a bit more cross cut on thinner material…

I roll with the DWS780 XPS.. 305mm blade, and 110 x 305 cut… although I can get about 325 cross cut (@90 degrees)..

The XPS light (cross cut positioning light) works real well, and especially in the Winter, where it actually makes the saw safer to use as it almost acts like an area work light..

If it is slightly too big for you, try the DWS 717 XPS… same style of saw but with a 10″ blade rather than the 12″…

Ok thanks for the advice. I can get about 150mm if I put some scrap wood under the piece I’m cutting. But it’s a bit of a pain, especially when trying to cut skirting.

Great pics of your van btw.
