Best mitre saw

Updated: 21 October 2026

You want a best mitre saw from this amazon.co.uk batch, and a star rating will not tell you whether the plug matches the socket. The [mitre saw comparison](/hub/power-saws/mitre-saw) holds nine corded listings captured for 20 October 2026. Scores here use one sheet: Amazon stars, the size of that sample, whether the saw slides, and the price band. There is no lab test. The Products Compared editorial team read those listings. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The top pick and the best value below are the two results on that sheet.

How this batch was scored

The sheet gives up to 40 points for stars, as the rating divided by five and multiplied by 40. The sample adds up to 25 points: 1,000 or more reviews score 25, 200 or more score 20, 100 or more score 14, and 50 or more score 10. A sliding saw scores 22 for fit. A fixed compound scores 16. On that arithmetic the Evolution R210SMS+ scores 91, the R255SMS+ 90, the Einhell TC-SM 2131/1 89, the R185SMS+ 87 and the R210CMS 86. The order of checks behind those points is on the mitre saw buying guide.

Top pick

The top pick is the Evolution R210SMS+, ASIN B07C9LG44H, at £125.95. The title states a sliding compound saw, 230 V, and a 230 mm slide. For a board that needs travel, at a price inside £100–£130, that is why the score reaches 91. The title says 230 V. The voltage row says 110 V. A 110 V saw needs a centre-tapped site transformer. Read the rating plate on the saw you receive before you treat this top pick as a domestic tool. Skip this saw if the plate is 110 V and you only have a 13 A socket, or if you need the head to tilt both ways.

Best value

The best value is the Evolution R210CMS, ASIN B01N96ODO0, at £75.00, with a score of 86. It is a fixed compound saw, 210 mm, 230 V and 1200 W, and the title has no slide. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 3,275 reviews, a larger sample than the top pick. Positive stops are listed at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45°. There is no laser in the bullets. Skip the R210CMS when the board is wider than a straight chop. One reviewer cites about a 125 mm straight cut. Battens and architrave on a 230 V socket are the work this price is for. The width comparison is on the sliding mitre saw vs compound page.

When another saw in the batch wins

The Einhell TC-SM 2131/1 at £110.00, score 89, is the saw to buy when you need a dual bevel. It is the only listing here that states ±47°. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 6,109 reviews. The title says 1800 W and the wattage row says 2.3 kW. The R255SMS+ at £189.99, score 90, is the saw when the title’s 300 mm slide is the width you need, with 2000 W and 220–240 V in the title. Reviewers say the bevel is one side only. The title says 255 mm and the blade-length row says 300 mm. Skirting joints, separate from this ranking, are on the mitre saw for skirting page.

Common questions

Which saw is the top pick, and why is the score 91?
The Evolution R210SMS+ scores 91 because the sheet adds a 4.6 from 2,073 reviews, a sliding fit, and a £125.95 price inside the £100–£130 band. The title states a 230 mm slide. The title says 230 V and the voltage row says 110 V, and that conflict stays on the card beside the result.
Why is the R210CMS the best value when the R255SMS+ scores 90?
The R255SMS+ is a £189.99 slider, so the value band gives it fewer points. The best value place is the strongest fixed saw under £80. The R210CMS is that saw, at £75.00, with 4.6 from 3,275 reviews and a score of 86. It does not slide.
Who should skip the R210SMS+?
Skip it if the rating plate is 110 V and you only have a domestic 13 A socket, because a 110 V tool needs a site transformer. Skip it if the head has to tilt both ways. The only dual bevel in this batch is the Einhell TC-SM 2131/1.
When is the Einhell dual-bevel slider the one to buy?
Buy the TC-SM 2131/1 when you repeat compound cuts and you would rather not flip the board for the second bevel. It is £110.00, with ±47° in the title and 4.4 from 6,109 reviews, score 89. The wattage row disagrees with the title, and the bullets do not itemise dust.
When is the R255SMS+ worth £189.99?
It earns that shelf price when you need the 300 mm slide stated in the title and a single bevel is enough. It is 2000 W, with 220–240 V in the title, 4.7 from 1,520 reviews, and a score of 90. It is a weak spend for battens the R210CMS already cuts at £75.00.
Why do the JCB and Draper saws score lower?
The JCB slider has 4.7 from only 75 reviews, so the sample points fall away. The Draper has 4.5 from 135 reviews, no stated slide, and blank voltage and blade-diameter rows. The fixed JCB has 4.3 from 71 reviews and a weight row of 9 g.
What does this page refuse to crown?
This page will not call any saw the best in the UK, the safest, or a laboratory winner. It will not hide the 110 V row on the R210SMS+. It will not swap in a magazine speed of 3,750 rpm.
