Varieties of miter saws Hitachi

A miter saw in construction is designed to make smooth cuts at different angles on wood and metal materials. Despite the fact that this tool is not often used at home, it is difficult to do without it in the case of loosening and trimming of wooden parts, especially across the fibers. If you decide to purchase a miter saw, pay attention to Hitachi Power Tools, which have been supplied to the domestic market for many years.

Circular saws and jigsaws are direct analogues of the tool in question. In order to find out their differences and features, you need to know the structure of each instrument. In general, a cross-cut saw with a broach consists of a cutting disc, a bed, a handle and a gearbox, as well as additional parts that facilitate work.

Circulars are equipped with a motor, a platform and a disc, which is covered by a protective cover, and the whole structure is controlled by a handle. At first glance, they are similar, but the difference from the end one is in the direction of the cut. The circular machine for metal works along a longitudinal line relative to the cut, and the facing is fixed on the bed and moves like a pendulum, allowing you to cut at an angle.

With an electric jigsaw, all the main working parts, including the electric motor, are hidden under the body.

For a detailed consideration of the features, three main types of trimming can be distinguished.

1. Fixed apparatus, located on a fixed bed for safety and a stable process of work. It is usually used in the course of trimming and blooming wood-based materials.
2. Hand tool, commonly used at home, great for short, angled cuts.
3. Hybrid apparatus equipped with a special table, a saw blade and, most importantly, a riving knife. This type of miter saw is also used in home workshops, but unfortunately has a shorter lifespan compared to other types of saws.
