Einhell TC-SM 216 Sliding Mitre Saw 216mm 1500W

The Einhell TC-SM 216 is a corded sliding mitre saw made for DIY users. It runs from a normal UK mains socket. A 216mm blade is already fitted so you can start work at once. The sliding head reaches across wide boards. It is a simple saw without fuss. That suits home projects and weekend jobs.

Cutting width is up to 305mm at 90 degrees. At 45 degrees it drops to 215mm. Depth at 90 degrees is 65mm. The turntable swings 47 degrees left and right. It has locking positions at the common angles. The head tilts to the left for bevel cuts. Clear scales show angles and widths.

The 1500W motor spins the blade at 5,200 rpm. The blade has 48 teeth and a 30mm bore. A spindle lock makes blade changes quick. A laser lines up the cut mark. Material supports slide out on both sides. A clamp holds the timber. A dust funnel and bag catch the chips.

Who should buy it? Anyone cutting skirting, frames or shelves at home. The quick angle stops save time. The laser guide helps you cut on the line. It comes with a bag, clamp and supports in the box.

Sliding the head on its rails adds reach, so a 216mm blade still cuts 305mm wide at 90 degrees. The turntable locks at common angles so you can set a mitre fast. A tilting head adds bevel cuts to the left. Max power rating S6 25 percent means 1600W is available for short bursts on a 25 percent duty cycle. The 48 tooth carbide tipped blade gives a fine finish in wood.

Clamp the timber and keep hands well away from the blade. Use the material supports for long boards. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting. Return the head to rest before you lift the wood. Switch off and unplug before using the spindle lock to change a blade. Wear eye and ear protection.
