Sliding compound mitre saws

Compound mitre saws are the perfect tool for accurate angled and mitre cuts. The high precision and power of a Festool compound mitre saw produces excellent results for joiners, floor layers and carpenters. The high-quality machines impress professional tradespeople with their absolute robustness and intuitive operation. This even allows users to perform complicated compound mitre and cross-cuts with a large cutting width. The compound mitre saw's strengths particularly come to the fore when cutting square timber, slats or profiles to size. And with the appropriate saw blade, it can also be used to precisely and reliably machine plastic or metal workpieces.
