Here at CRI Kits, we love reviews of mitre saws – they’re a great way to learn all about the cool features you get when buying a particular tool.
Mitres are some of the most popular purchases for people that are progressing past manual tool and starting to put their new workshop together.
The reason why review sites save you so much time is that you can’t easily collect as much information on your own as the experts have done over years of experience. In a sense it would be like trying to reinvent the wheel – although not with a mitre saw!
It’s not just the case with mitre saws that you can get the information you need – it might be drills, a vice or any other tool, just like a mitre saw you’re researching.
Our favourite way to find sites if simply to google them – the world’s favourite search engine does a great job of directing you to useful sites. It’s also far easier to trust a site like that – going to the B&Q website will give you reviews, but are they only going to tell you the best things as they’re trying to sell you something?
We’d recommend using a few sites to do your research, but to get you started a personal favourite of mine is https://www.mitresawzone.com/ that carry information about most, if not all, of the big brands as well as some lesser ones too.
A great tip is to focus on what’s important to you – there’s no need to be put off by a review saying that your chosen mitre saw struggles with very large lengths of timber, if you’re only planning to cut smaller pieces of wood. A lot of people seem to focus on the negatives, when in fact they’re not a problem at all if they don’t affect the job you need to do.
