Draper Expert SMS255E Double Bevel Sliding Compound Mitre Saw 255mm 2000W

The Draper Expert SMS255E is a 2000W double bevel sliding compound mitre saw. It carries a 255mm blade. Draper built it for joiners and contractors. It works in the workshop or on site. The head tilts left and right. That makes compound cuts easy on mouldings and framing.

The cutting figures are generous. Crosscut capacity is 90 x 315mm. Mitre cut capacity is 90 x 215mm. The left bevel cuts 40 x 315mm. The right bevel cuts 38 x 315mm. Compound cuts reach 40 x 215mm on the left. They reach 26 x 215mm on the right. The bevel runs from 0 to 45 degrees in both directions.

The motor spins at 5,500 rpm. The table base is diecast aluminium. Side extension wings carry longer boards. A laser shows the cut line. A depth stop lets you cut trenches. A stop bar repeats the same length. A clamp holds the work firm. An integral dust system helps keep the area cleaner.

The saw weighs 18kg. A 40 tooth TCT blade comes fitted. The cable has an approved plug too. Why pick it? The double bevel head saves flipping timber. The 315mm crosscut handles wide boards. The stop bar speeds up batch work.

A double bevel head tilts the blade both ways, so you can cut compound angles on either side without turning the workpiece. The sliding rails give a 315mm crosscut from a 255mm blade. At 5,500 rpm the 40 tooth carbide tipped blade leaves a clean edge in timber. The 2000W motor keeps speed up through thick stock. A depth stop limits blade travel for trenches.

Clamp the workpiece and keep both hands clear of the blade path. Check the bevel lock before you start. Use the extension wings for long boards. Let the blade reach full speed first. Unplug the saw before changing the blade. Wear eye and ear protection. Never look into the laser. At 18kg take care when lifting.
