Best Metabo mitre saw

Updated: 21 October 2026

You want one Metabo name for a stated job: skirting in a flat, weekly cross-cuts of kitchen board, or a 110 V site that already has a transformer. The best Metabo mitre saw here means the best of six fit-checked listings on amazon.co.uk for that job, on 20 October 2026. It is not a lab crown. Star lines do not make a 198-review sliding saw and a listing with no review line into the same product. The [Metabo mitre saw comparison](/hub/power-saws/metabo-mitre-saw) holds the full table. Peter F. used those listings and public UK sources. A qualifying purchase through our links can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

The KGS 254 M when the board is wide

The best Metabo mitre saw for regular wide cross-cuts is the KGS 254 M, part 613254000, at £279.98. It combines a sliding pull, 92 mm at 90° and 47 mm at 45°, and the largest review sample: 4.6 from 198 ratings. Metabo UK publishes about 1450 W S1 for that family. The amazon title says 1800 W, so quote 1450 W, and ignore the weight row that says 17 g. One UK review reports a Euro plug and a weak depth stop. If the plug is wrong, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 is the route, not side cutters on the flex. Skip this saw when every piece is narrow skirting.

The KS 216 M when a chop is enough

The best value pick for narrow stock is the KS 216 M, part 610216380, at £139.00. Bullets describe a compact chop saw with PCL, bevel from -2° to 47°, and no slide. The box names a clamp, a chip bag, extensions and a 216×30 mm 40-tooth blade, at 1100 W and 240 V. There is no customer-review line, so this rests on a complete corded listing, not on stars. A 69 mm architrave that sits under the blade is this saw. A 300 mm shelf is the KGS 254 M. The trade-offs are in the buying guide and on the sliding versus compact page. The Lasercut, part 619216380 at £129.82, is 4.3 from 26 ratings with a two-pin plug in the reviews, and a shorter box list.

The 230 V KGS 305 M on a bench

The 230 V KGS 305 M, part 613305000, at £312.88 is the pick when you want a 305 mm blade on a normal UK socket and the saw can live on a bench. It is 4.7 from 78 ratings, with no UK review blocks in the file, listed at 18.6 kg. The title says 1600 W. The wattage row says 77 W, which you ignore. Bullets name PCL and a bevel from -2° to 47°. They do not quote 92 mm, and they do not spell out a pull stroke. Confirm capacity on the live page or in the Metabo manual before you treat it as a bigger KGS 254 M. The box list has no chip bag.

The listings to leave

The 110 V KGS 305 M, part 613305390, at £299.99 has no review line. It is the pick only for a site that already runs 110 V tools. The KS 216 M kit at £224.99, part 610216900, stays off the shortlist until the page stops saying Battery in the box and battery powered in the power row. The file shows 4.4 from 42 ratings and does not prove the title's second blade. Once you own the saw, square, shadow, clamp and brake are on the how to use a Metabo mitre saw page.

Common questions

What is the best Metabo mitre saw for wide boards?
In this set it is the KGS 254 M, part 613254000, at £279.98. The bullets describe a slide and 92 mm depth at 90°, with 4.6 from 198 ratings. Ignore the 17 g weight row. Step up to the 230 V KGS 305 M only after you have confirmed capacity.
What should I buy for skirting and architrave?
The KS 216 M part 610216380 at £139.00, if the board fits a single chop. The raw file has no reviews and no published depth, so test the height on the saw before you commit a room of timber.
Is the higher star rating the better saw?
The 230 V KGS 305 M shows 4.7 from 78 ratings and the KGS 254 M shows 4.6 from 198. Those lines do not make the saws equal, and the 305 mm file has no UK review blocks. Review count, slide copy, voltage and a coherent box list matter more than two tenths of a star. The £139.00 KS 216 M has no star line at all.
Lasercut or the PCL KS 216 M?
Buy the PCL part 610216380 at £139.00 when you want the shadow-line package and the fuller box. Buy the Lasercut part 619216380 at £129.82 when the lower price matters and you will inspect the plug. They are different part numbers. A dimensions row of about 19 cm on the Lasercut is not the size of the saw.
Is the kit the better compact saw?
Only if the live listing shows the second blade and the table expanders the title names. In the file we used, the included-components field says Battery and the power source says battery powered, beside 240 V AC. That contradiction is why the kit at £224.99 is not the best value pick. The £139.00 PCL listing has a readable box list.
Which listing do I avoid for a home socket?
Part 613305390, the 110 V KGS 305 M at £299.99. It is a site saw. A normal UK socket is 230 V, BS 1363. Using the 110 V model at home because the price is lower than £312.88 leaves the supply unmatched. The 230 V KGS 305 M is the household listing in that blade size.
