Mitre Shears/Mitre Angle Trim/PVC Decking Cutter

Product Information

It has the clean appearance of a mitre joint but is easier to glue, since the interlocking fingers align the two halves of the joint.

In the following example we used 20mm thick hardwood and went through the set-up routine from scratch. The cuts will be improved if the cutter aperture in the fence is as close as possible to the shape of the cutter, preferably ‘zero-clearance’.The Evolution Universal Mitre Saw Stand will fit mitre saws from many popular brands and all of Evolution’s mitre saws. The outline of the cutter is rough-cut and the fence is finished by taping the MDF to it and, with the cutter set to its initial height (see below), slowly pulling the fence forward past the cutter to complete the cut-out. Rotate the cutter so that the tongue is in its furthest forward position and set the fence so that the centreline on the test piece is lined up with the outside edge of the tongue. It gives cleaner cuts on long grain than end grain and comes into its own with substantial carcase work such as large loudspeaker cabinets.

You can make more elaborate adjustable fence stops, securing them with threaded rod and pronged teenuts. Mark the centreline of a test piece of the material to be used and set the cutter so that this line comes just below the protruding tongue.You might also be able to include such a breakout piece in the vertical jig, but if all else fails you might have to resort to cutting your components a little over width and planing off the breakout after machining. The lock mitre cutter works best on cuts along the grain rather than across it, but if you are using it for carcase and chest constructions you are likely to make cross-grain cuts and you are bound to get breakout. A Double Bevel Mitre Saw like the Evolution R225SMS-DB+ will let you make +/- 45° angled cuts without having to flip over you workpiece. Sliding Compound Mitre Saws are used in woodworking, DIY, construction and wherever a high degree of precision and repeatability is required by the user.

These are adjustable and can be moved inwards and outwards to accommodate various blade cutting angles. The fences lock at 45 degrees and 90 degrees with stops on adjustable cams, so spot on accuracy can be assured every time. A Double Bevel Saw can rotate both left and right, about the vertical plane, to make bevel cuts on both sides without having to flip the workpiece. The Evolution R255SMS-DB+ Double Bevel Mitre Saw would be the best saw for cutting decorative moulding. Mess is also kept to a minimum with dust collecting bags, along with all of the safety features you expect from top brands.Mitre saws are designed to make clean and precise angled cuts through materials such as wood, laminate and metal, while allowing you to easily rotate the blade and change the cutting angle to suit you. These gasket shears are great for cutting rubber but also for cutting wood or plastic trims for windows and doors, these hard-working shears are made to last and will stay sharp and true even with daily use. At Evolution, we have several Mitre Saw Stands available, as well as special Mitre Saw bundles with the stand included. If you want the best cuts, most accurate gap-free joints and easy installation then a Mitre Saw is the best tool for the job.
