Best Einhell mitre saw

Updated: 21 October 2026

You want one Einhell for one job, and a reason to leave the other six on the shelf. Best here is the saw that matches the board, the bevel and the power you have. A 4.6 star line sits on both 967 reviews and 30 reviews with no United Kingdom review text. The [Einhell mitre saw comparison](/hub/power-saws/einhell-mitre-saw) holds the full table. The [buying guide](/hub/power-saws/einhell-mitre-saw/sub/einhell-mitre-saw-buying-guide) explains the forks. This page recommends. Peter F. compared the listings on 19 October 2026.

Best for narrow DIY cuts

If the timber is a batten, a dado rail or narrow panelling, the TC-MS 2112 is the best value in this set for that limit. It is article 4300295, a corded 230 V saw at £63.00, and 4.4 from 6,451 reviews. Einhell states 120 × 55 mm and 1,600 W S6. The bullets give 80 × 32 mm on the right as well, and they do not state a slide. UK reviews describe a smooth cut on dado, panelling and fence work, and several buyers found it square with little adjustment. At 7.1 kg reviewers carried it and screwed it to a bench. Leave it for a closed skirting mitre on a larger board. Those reviews say larger skirting mitres were not precise enough, and a floorboard is too wide. There is no laser. The dust bag is described as pointless. Past about 35 degrees the clamp hits the cut. The wattage field says 1,400 W against the 1,600 W bullet. Move to a slider once the board exceeds about 120 mm. The joint itself is on the skirting page.

Best reviewed slider for the shed

For a shed with a socket, and a board past 120 mm, the TC-SM 216 is the top pick. It is article 4300380 at £129.95, 4.6 from 967 reviews. The bullets claim 305 mm at 90 degrees and 210 mm at 45 degrees, a left tilt and a 36 mm port. UK reviews call it good value for home DIY once the blade is set square, if you are not expecting a premium saw. The criterion is a stated slide, a complete corded price and a large sample, not a claim that the fence is truer than every other saw. Skip it if the head must tilt both ways, or if you will carry it all day. The listed weight is 12.7 kg, reviews call it heavy, and one says there is no carry handle. The laser is faint in daylight, off the blade, or a fitting with no light. One buyer said the blade burnt out after a day of laminate, and another returned a unit because the guard stopped. A missing dust bag is in the sample. The speed field says 1,900 rpm and the bullets do not, so do not buy it for that number. An Einhell laser is a guide you check, not a proof of the cut.

Best when the head must tilt both ways

Choose the TC-SM 2534/1 Dual when the moulding must stay face down and the head has to lean both ways. It is article 4300395 at £187.07, 4.3 from 1,027 reviews, with 30 in the sample marked reviewed in the United Kingdom. The bullets say the head tilts left and right and the drag reaches 340 mm. Einhell states a 250 mm blade, 2,350 W S6 and 340 × 75 mm at 90 degrees. UK reviewers praise the wide slide and clean cuts on decking. One short review called the preset mitres spot on. One buyer saw some tear-out in hardwood. It is not the saw to trust on the first switch-on. The laser is useless in daylight for some of those reviews, and it drifted after use for another. One buyer reached about 43 degrees rather than the marked 45, and said the angle scale was a sticker. Missing clamps, a broken dust bag and a first delivery with a sparking motor are in the UK sample. The title says 2,350 W and the wattage field says 2,100 W. At 14.9 kg it is the heaviest listing here. Pay the extra over the TC-SM 216 only if both-way tilt and the wider drag are the job.

What not to call the winner

Do not crown the TE-SM 8L because it is also 4.6. It is article 4300866 at £189.95, from 30 ratings, with no review marked reviewed in the United Kingdom. The bullets claim 1,800 W, both-way tilt and 305 mm by up to 65 mm. The title says a 216 mm blade and the blade-length field says 305 mm. One bullet describes a demolition hammer. Those clashes keep it off the winner's line. Cordless saws are conditional. The TE-MS 18/210 at £109.49 stays inside about 120 mm, with no battery in the box. The TE-SM 36/210 at £199.98 claims about 310 mm and needs two packs. The TE-SM 36/10 Li at £281.99 claims 340 mm and a brushless motor in the bullets, on 56 reviews and a thin English sample. Take one only if you already own the packs, or you have budgeted them, and there is no convenient socket. The cordless or corded page is where that sum belongs. A laser does not make one saw more accurate than another. Square the fence, then treat the line as a check.

Common questions

What is the best Einhell mitre saw for a home shed?
For a shed with a socket and boards within 305 mm at 90 degrees, the TC-SM 216 at £129.95 is the top pick here. It is 4.6 from 967 reviews, the head tilts left, and the bullets state 210 mm once you swing to 45 degrees. It is heavy, and the laser is a known weak point in UK reviews. If the head must tilt both ways, the TC-SM 2534/1 Dual is the pick instead, at £187.07, with more calibration complaints.
Is the TC-MS 2112 good enough if I only cut battens?
Yes, for battens and similar narrow stock. At £63.00 it is 4.4 from 6,451 reviews, and UK reviewers used it on dado, panelling and fence work. The same reviews say larger skirting mitres were not precise enough, and there is no slide. Einhell states 120 × 55 mm. Stay inside that, and it is the best value in this set. Step up as soon as the board is wider.
When is the TC-SM 2534/1 Dual worth more than the TC-SM 216?
When you need the head to tilt both ways and a drag towards 340 mm. Einhell states 340 × 75 mm at 90 degrees on a 250 mm blade. You pay £187.07 against £129.95, and you accept a 4.3 from 1,027 rather than a 4.6 from 967, plus UK notes about a sticker scale, a laser that fades in daylight and some faulty deliveries. If you can flip the board, the cheaper slider is the better match.
Should I trust 4.6 from 30 reviews on the TE-SM 8L?
Not as a reason to prefer it. Thirty ratings and no United Kingdom review text are a thin sample next to 967 reviews on the TC-SM 216. The TE-SM 8L bullets do claim dual bevel and 305 mm by up to 65 mm, at £189.95. The title, the blade-length field and a demolition-hammer sentence do not line up. Keep it as a listing to read, not as the winner.
Which model should I skip for tight skirting joints?
Skip the TC-MS 2112 when the joint has to close on a larger board. UK reviews say battens were fine and larger skirting mitres were not. A floorboard was too wide. For wide skirting, start with the TC-SM 216 if a left tilt and 305 mm at 90 degrees are enough, or the TC-SM 2534/1 Dual if the head must lean both ways. The geometry of the corner is on the skirting page.
Does a laser make one saw more accurate than another?
No. The TC-MS 2112 does not list a laser at all. On the TC-SM 216, UK reviews say the line can be faint, off the blade or absent. On the TC-SM 2534/1 Dual, reviewers say it fails in daylight or drifts after use. Accuracy in this set comes from setting 0 degrees with a square and cutting a test offcut. The laser is a second check, and only after that.
Which pick already assumes I own Power X-Change batteries?
The TE-MS 18/210, the TE-SM 36/210 and the TE-SM 36/10 Li. Their amazon prices of £109.49, £199.98 and £281.99 do not include packs or a charger. The 18 V saw needs one pack. The 36 V saws need two. If you are buying batteries as well, compare the total with the TC-SM 216 at £129.95 before you call the cordless saw better value.
