The best Einhell mitre saws, compared.
Top pick: Einhell TC-SM 216 – Highest score at 88, from 4.6 and 967 reviews, with a stated 305 mm slide and a complete corded price. Best value: Einhell TC-MS 2112 – Lowest complete corded price at about £63.00, 4.4 from 6,451 reviews, when about 120 mm is enough. Updated October 2026.
An Einhell mitre saw on amazon.co.uk is a corded or chop saw for wood, laminated board and plastic. Judge a saw by the stated cross-cut, by a left-only or both-ways tilt, and by whether 0° agrees with a square. Lasers and dust bags are often faint, missing or weak in the UK reviews. Corded saws need 230 V and a BS 1363 plug. Scores weigh stars, sample size, fit and value. The forks are in the [Einhell mitre saw buying guide](/hub/power-saws/einhell-mitre-saw/sub/einhell-mitre-saw-buying-guide). Seven amazon.co.uk listings cover a fixed corded saw, two corded sliders, one corded both-ways listing with a thin review sample, and three saws sold body only. The star line does not do that on its own. A shared 4.6 does not make two saws equal when one listing has 967 ratings and the other has 30 ratings and no United Kingdom review text. It is a 210 mm saw, 1,600 W on the Einhell sheet, with a cut of 120 × 55 mm and a left bevel, and the bullets do not state a slide. Einhell states a 305 mm cross-cut and a 36 mm port.

Question 1 of 2
How wide is the timber?
The TC-SM 216 is a corded sliding mitre saw at £129.95, article 4300380, and it is 4.6 from 967 amazon.co.uk reviews, the highest star rating in this set that also has a large written sample. The bullets claim up to 305 mm at 90 degrees and up to 210 mm at 45 degrees, with the head tilting to the left, a cutting-line laser, and a 36 mm extractor port. UK reviews call it good value for home DIY once the blade is set upright and square, and they treat it as enough if you are not expecting a premium saw. The same reviews say it is heavy, at a listed 12.7 kg, the laser can be faint in daylight or off the blade line, and one unit had the laser fitting but no light. A dust bag was missing for one buyer, and another said the blade burnt out after one day of laminate. One review notes there is no carry handle, so it suits a bench more than a job you keep moving. The listing speed field says 1,900 rpm while the bullets do not print rpm. On review volume, a stated slide, and a complete corded price, it is the top pick for a shed slider in this set.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one cable in a shed and a board within the stated 305 mm at 90 degrees, with the head tilting left.
Less suitable: You need the head to tilt both ways, a laser you can trust in daylight, or a saw you will carry between rooms all day.
Specifications
Common questions
How wide a cut does the TC-SM 216 claim?
The bullets say up to 305 mm at 90 degrees and up to 210 mm at 45 degrees. The head tilts to the left. Einhell's UK page for article 4300380 states that 305 mm cross-cut and a 36 mm port.
Does the laser show the cut in daylight?
The bullets include a cutting-line laser. UK reviews say it can be faint in daylight, off the blade line, or not lighting at all. Set the blade square before you trust the line.
How do you collect the dust?
The bullets state a dust funnel and a 36 mm extractor connection. One UK review says the dust bag was missing. The bag is not a substitute for extraction at the blade.
The TE-SM 8L, article 4300866, is listed at £189.95 as a corded dual-bevel slider, and the star line is 4.6 from 30 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets say 1,800 W, up to 5,000 rpm, a head that tilts left and right up to 45 degrees, and a maximum width of 305 mm with depth up to 65 mm. The title says a 216 mm blade while the blade-length field says 305 mm, the same figure as the cutting width, so those two numbers cannot both be the blade. One bullet describes an SDS-max demolition hammer, which does not belong on this mitre saw. None of the captured reviews is marked as written in the United Kingdom, so there is no UK review text to confirm the cut, the laser, or the dust extraction named only in the highlight. A 4.6 on 30 ratings is not the same evidence as the TC-SM 216's 4.6 from 967. It stays in the table as a listing that claims both-way tilt, and it is not the top pick.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are comparing a corded both-ways listing on the printed 305 mm claim, and you will not treat 30 ratings as a UK test.
Less suitable: You want UK review text, a blade size that agrees with itself, or the top pick in this set.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the TE-SM 8L cordless?
No. The power-source field says corded electric at 230 V. A listing line about a nonstandard battery does not match that. The £189.95 price is for a corded saw, not a body-only tool.
What cut do the bullets claim?
Up to 305 mm width and up to 65 mm depth. The head tilts left and right up to 45 degrees, and the table up to 47 degrees. The title and the blade-length field do not agree on the blade.
Does this saw include a demolition hammer?
No. One bullet describes an SDS-max demolition hammer. That sentence does not match the mitre-saw title or the other bullets. Ignore it.
The TE-MS 18/210 Li-Solo is an 18 V Power X-Change mitre saw sold body only at £109.49, and it is 4.5 from 677 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets do not include a battery or a charger, and they recommend a pack of 2.5 Ah Plus or higher. English reviews say one 4 Ah or 5 Ah pack finished a room of laminate, and buyers who already owned Power X-Change batteries liked carrying the 7.8 kg saw in one hand. Straight and angle cuts are described as precise, though one buyer adjusted the tilt stop slightly, and the head tilts to the left. The bullets do not state a slide, and one reviewer wished they had bought the sliding version. Einhell's UK sheet for article 4300890 puts the cut at 120 × 60 mm. A dust bag that reviewers mention collected nothing over a week, and on one angle cut the blade caught the guard and teeth broke. Site work needs several batteries, and a listing line that asks for an LR44 cell does not match the Power X-Change bullets.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own a 2.5 Ah Plus or larger Power X-Change pack and the board is within about 120 mm.
Less suitable: You need a slide, a saw that runs all day on one small pack, or a price that already includes the battery.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a battery included with the TE-MS 18/210?
No. The bullets say the battery and charger are sold separately, and they recommend a Power X-Change pack of 2.5 Ah Plus or higher. The £109.49 price is the saw only.
Does the head tilt both ways?
The bullet says the head tilts to the left. The item highlight says a 45 degree mitre and a +/-47 degree bevel. Treat the left tilt as the bullet, and check the stop.
Is this the sliding model?
No. The bullets do not state a slide. One UK reviewer wrote that they should have bought the sliding version. Einhell's sheet for article 4300890 puts the cut at 120 × 60 mm.
The TE-SM 36/210 Li-Solo is a 36 V sliding mitre saw at £199.98, body only, and it is 4.5 from 606 amazon.co.uk reviews. The highlight claims a 210 mm blade and a 65 × 310 mm cut, with the head tilting up to 45 degrees to the left. UK reviews say it cuts C24, decking, joists, larch handrails, skirting, and architrave, and that the slide, laser, and work light were useful once the saw was dialled in. Those reviews also say it needs two Power X-Change packs, and that 2 Ah packs feel short while 4 Ah or larger packs lasted a day of skirting for some buyers. Neither battery nor charger is in the box, so the £199.98 price is not a working saw. The special-features field says brushless, but the bullets do not, and the listing blade length of 30 cm clashes with the 210 mm highlight. Clamps and joints are stiff at first. It is the cordless slider if you already own two larger packs and the board is within about 310 mm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own two Power X-Change packs of about 4 Ah and you need a slide without a socket.
Less suitable: You are comparing the £199.98 figure with a corded saw that already includes its power, or you need both-way bevel.
Specifications
Common questions
Are batteries included with the TE-SM 36/210?
No. UK reviews say the saw needs two packs. The bullets describe Power X-Change lithium-ion batteries. A listing field that says LR44 conflicts with that. Einhell recommends at least 2.5 Ah, and reviewers point to 4 Ah or more.
What cut does the highlight claim?
65 × 310 mm, with a 210 mm blade in the same highlight. The head tilts up to 45 degrees to the left. The listing blade-length field says 30 cm, which clashes with that 210 mm figure.
Is the motor brushless?
The special-features field says brushless. The bullets for article 4300880 do not say brushless. Do not treat that field as proof of a brushless motor.
The TE-SM 36/10 Li, article 4300885, is a 36 V sliding mitre saw at £281.99, body only, and it is 4.5 from 56 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets say a brushless motor at 3,800 rpm, a 340 mm cross-cut, and a maximum thickness of 85 mm, and the included line lists a 254 mm blade and a dust bag. Two 18 V packs and a fast charger are sold separately. The English UK notes on the listing are thin: one buyer who already had Einhell batteries found assembly straightforward and needed no alignment adjustment, and one English review finished a large job on a single charge and found the laser and light useful. There is no repeated UK criticism in that small English sample, which is not the same as a clean bill of health. The highlight says single bevel, with a 45 degree mitre and a +/-47 degree bevel figure that the bullets do not spell out as a right-hand tilt. The blade-material field says aluminium, so it should not be read as the carbide blade the other listings state. At the highest shelf price in this set, before batteries, it is the wide cordless claim with the thinnest UK review text.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the widest cordless cross-cut claim in this set, the bullets' brushless motor, and you already budget two packs.
Less suitable: You want a large UK review sample, a both-ways head the bullets confirm, or a price that includes the batteries.
Specifications
Common questions
What comes with the TE-SM 36/10 Li?
The included line lists the saw, a 254 mm blade, and a dust bag. The bullet says two 18 V batteries and a fast charger are sold separately. The £281.99 price is body only.
What cross-cut do the bullets claim?
340 mm, and a maximum thickness of 85 mm. The bullets also say the motor is brushless, at 3,800 rpm. That brushless line is in the bullets for article 4300885.
Is the bevel dual?
The item highlight says single bevel, with a 45 degree mitre and a +/-47 degree bevel. The bullets do not spell out a right-hand tilt. Do not read that highlight as a confirmed both-ways head.
The TC-MS 2112 is a corded 230 V compound mitre saw at £63.00, article 4300295, and it is 4.4 from 6,451 amazon.co.uk reviews. UK reviews use it on dado rail, panelling, and fence work, and several buyers found it square with little adjustment and light enough to screw to a bench. The bullets give a bevel cutting performance of 120 × 55 mm on the left and 80 × 32 mm on the right, and they do not state a slide. Reviewers say a floorboard is too wide, and the same UK texts say skirting mitres on larger pieces are not precise enough, while battens were fine. There is no laser in the bullets, which surprised a buyer who had seen one in a promo video, and the dust bag is described as pointless. Once the head tilts past about 35 degrees the clamp hits the cut, so a 45 degree bevel is awkward. The wattage field says 1,400 W against a 1,600 W bullet. At this price, with the largest review count in the set, it is the best value when the timber is narrow.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are cutting battens, dado rail, or other narrow stock, and you want the lowest complete corded price in this set.
Less suitable: You need a wide board, a closed skirting mitre, or a laser line on the cut.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the TC-MS 2112 include a laser?
The bullets do not mention a laser. UK reviews say there is not one, including a buyer who expected a laser from a promo video.
Will it cross-cut a wide board?
The listing does not state a slide. UK reviews say a floorboard is too wide. The bullet gives bevel cutting performance of 120 × 55 mm on the left and 80 × 32 mm on the right.
Do you need a battery?
No. The power source is mains at 230 V. A listing line that asks for a lithium-ion battery does not match the bullets. The £63.00 price is for a complete corded saw.
The TC-SM 2534/1 Dual is a corded dual-bevel slider at £187.07, and it is 4.3 from 1,027 amazon.co.uk reviews, with 30 reviews in the sample marked as written in the United Kingdom. The bullets say the head tilts left and right and the drag reaches 340 mm. Einhell's UK page for article 4300395 states a 250 mm blade, 2,350 W S6, and 340 × 75 mm at 90 degrees. UK reviewers praise the wide slide, clean cuts on decking, and preset mitres that one short review called spot on, though one buyer saw some tear-out in hardwood. The laser is useless in daylight for some buyers and drifted out of alignment after use for another. One buyer reached about 43 degrees rather than the marked 45, and said the angle scale was a sticker. The title and the bullet say 2,350 W while the wattage field says 2,100 W. Missing clamps, a broken dust bag, and a first delivery with a sparking motor and a burning smell appear in the UK sample. This is the both-ways saw if you will check the stops, and it is the heaviest listing in the set at 14.9 kg.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need the head to tilt both ways and a cross-cut towards 340 mm, and you will square the stops before a fitted joint.
Less suitable: You want a compact bench saw, a laser that stays on the line in daylight, or a listing whose wattage field matches the 2,350 W bullet.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the TC-SM 2534/1 Dual bevel both ways?
The bullets say the head tilts left and right. One UK review reached about 43 degrees rather than 45, and said the angle scale was a sticker. Square the stops before a fitted joint.
Can it cut metal or masonry?
No. The bullets and the highlight say wood, laminated or coated board, and plastic. A surface field that says metal and masonry conflicts with that text. Do not cut metal or masonry with this wood blade.
Is the motor 2,350 W or 2,100 W?
The title and the bullet say 2,350 W. The wattage field says 2,100 W. Einhell's UK page for article 4300395 states 2,350 W S6. Use that article figure.
Scores use the seven amazon.co.uk listings in this set and the UK review themes already on those listings. This is not a lab test. A shared 4.6 does not make two saws equal when one listing has 967 ratings and the other has 30 ratings and no United Kingdom review text. The highest score is the top pick, once: the TC-SM 216 at 88. Best value is the highest value score that is not the top pick: the TC-MS 2112 at about £63.00.
Stars
40%The star part is the amazon.co.uk rating divided by 5, times 40, rounded. A 4.6 contributes 37 and a 4.4 contributes 35. The review count does not sit in this block.
Sample
25%1,000 or more ratings with UK themes score 23. A sample of 500 to 999 with UK themes scores 21. A sample of 50 to 499 with a thin English sample scores 12. Under 50 ratings and no United Kingdom review text scores 6.
Fit
25%A stated cross-cut, a slide when the job needs one, and a bevel the bullets actually support. Conflicting wattage, blade-length or battery fields, and a body-only box, reduce this block.
Value
10%The lowest complete corded price with a large sample scores 10. A corded slider that is still a whole saw scores higher than a body-only price. That is why the TC-MS 2112 takes best value, and a cheaper-looking solo price does not.
Buy the cross-cut, the bevel and the power source before the shelf price. These seven amazon.co.uk listings are not one Einhell mitre saw. Two have no slide and stop near 120 mm. The corded sliders and the 36 V sliders reach about 305 mm to 340 mm. Three Power X-Change saws are body only. The score weighs stars, sample size, fit and value. It is not a laboratory cut.
An Einhell mitre saw in this UK set is a chop saw for wood, laminated board and plastic. Seven amazon.co.uk listings cover a fixed corded saw, two corded sliders, one corded both-ways listing with a thin review sample, and three Power X-Change saws sold body only. You tell them apart by the stated cross-cut, by whether the head tilts left only or both ways, and by whether the box already includes the power. The star line does not do that on its own.
The TC-MS 2112 and the TE-MS 18/210 are about 120 mm wide, and neither bullet states a slide. UK reviews on the TC-MS 2112 say a floorboard is too wide and that skirting mitres on larger pieces were not precise enough. Battens and dado rail are the job those two saws are for.
The TE-MS 18/210, the TE-SM 36/210 and the TE-SM 36/10 Li do not include a battery or a charger. Einhell recommends at least 2.5 Ah. The 36 V saws need two 18 V packs. A rule of thumb is to add two 4 Ah packs before you set a solo price next to the TC-SM 216.
Use the figure that matches Einhell's article number. The TC-MS 2112 bullet says 1,600 W and the wattage field says 1,400 W. The TC-SM 2534/1 Dual bullet says 2,350 W and the field says 2,100 W. The TE-SM 8L title says a 216 mm blade and the blade-length field says 305 mm. Ignore the demolition-hammer sentence on that listing.
The first fork is width, then what happens when the head is tilted. The TC-MS 2112 is 120 × 55 mm on the left and 80 × 32 mm on the right in the bullets, with no slide stated. The TE-MS 18/210 is 120 × 60 mm on Einhell's sheet for article 4300890, and the bullets do not state a slide. The TC-SM 216 claims 305 mm at 90 degrees and 210 mm at 45 degrees, head to the left. The TE-SM 36/210 highlight is 310 × 65 mm, left up to 45 degrees.
Corded saws in this set need UK mains, nominally 230 V, and a BS 1363 plug. Listing rows that say 220 V or 240 V are the same mains supply, not a different saw. The TC-MS 2112, the TC-SM 216, the TC-SM 2534/1 Dual and the TE-SM 8L include the power in the shelf price. The three Power X-Change saws do not. The TE-MS 18/210 takes one 18 V pack. The TE-SM 36/210 and the TE-SM 36/10 Li take two 18 V packs for 36 V. Einhell recommends at least 2.5 Ah.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
A first project on dado rail, battens or other stock within about 120 mm can use the TC-MS 2112 at about £63.00. It is 4.4 from 6,451 reviews, corded, and the bullets do not state a slide. UK reviews say a floorboard is too wide.
You want one cable and a board within the stated 305 mm at 90 degrees, with the head tilting left. The TC-SM 216 is the top pick at about £129.95, with 4.6 from 967 reviews. It is heavy, and the laser can be faint in daylight.
Buy body only if the packs are already on the shelf. One 18 V pack covers the TE-MS 18/210 on stock within about 120 mm. Two packs of about 4 Ah cover the TE-SM 36/210 slider, up to about 310 mm, with no socket. The shelf price does not include batteries.
The top pick is the TC-SM 216 at about £129.95. It scores 88, from 4.6 and 967 amazon.co.uk reviews, with a stated 305 mm cross-cut and a corded price that includes the power. The head tilts left, the listed weight is 12.7 kg, and UK reviews say the laser can be faint. Best value is the TC-MS 2112 at about £63.00. It scores 84, from 4.4 and 6,451 reviews, when about 120 mm is enough and you do not need a slide. Other saws in this set have no award. The TE-SM 8L stays in the table on a both-ways claim, with 30 ratings and no United Kingdom review text.
