Miter Saw Comparison: Metabo KGS 216m, Bosch GCM 800 SJ, Makita LS0815FL - Best for Home Use?

Question

Hello. I need to buy a saw as in the topic with a 216 mm blade, needed to install polyurethane skirting boards at home ... For now, I have chosen Metabo kgs 216m as a favorite because of the price below a thousand and quite good opinions, but ... who has it and also has a MAKITA LS0815FL and...

yanes · Answer

This Metabo is not even worth the price they sell it for. It beats sideways, even after replacing the disc with another one, it's a pity for the money. Better to buy something used from Dewalt or even some old Elu.

Thanks, my friend, you only confirmed my fears ... I do not want used machines of this type, because the precision can be different, on the other hand, it is not profitable for me to spend 1.5 thousand. to make 50-60 cuts. Another idea came to my mind, I have a water machine to cut tiles, I will disconnect the pump or skip it, I will buy the appropriate disc and try, tomorrow I will do a trial cut with a diamond disc ...

Maybe it is worth visiting a nearby power tool rental?

taivun · Answer

The rental is not available for several reasons ...

Koniek · Answer

I would definitely bet on Metabo. I have tools from this company and I am really satisfied with all of them. In my opinion, their good opinions came from somewhere and they deserve them

subratri · Answer

Metabo is a toy tool every time. Better to get Einchella now. At least the price corresponds to the quality. I don't know what polyurethane slats are

but ? 216 limits you to a cutting height of 60mm which some will cut a few mm more. The Makita LS1040 is unrivaled for the skirting boards, created for these works. It is less handy for others, but if it is to be something universal at home, it is hard to find a better choice. And the wood for the fireplace will be cut, and the chair will be repaired ...
Oops

now I have read that the topic is rather out of date

sosarek · Answer

Probably the other way around.

yanes · Answer

subratri writes well, there is no point in overpaying for a logo if the cheaper tools are just as weak as those from Metabo. Nothing is left of the former Metabo after moving production to China, even their flagship, top product hammer drill is far behind the competition.

Marksrz · Answer

If you have to cut the skirting boards with a precision of a hundred, you must buy at least a FESTOOL.
This is how only amateurs reason to cut plastic with a diamond disc
for such a job, the cheapest Chinese is suitable, and the used Elu even the oldest one beats the best Chinese.

subratri · Answer

You're raving, buddy. Festool has a lot of advantages sometimes, but it doesn't work by itself. No capex is worth its price. You can have similar quality for much less. A working laser, a handle for tilting at the front ... No doubt the advantages, but the rest is the user.

sarman · Answer

If you need to make 50 cuts of slats, buy a manual miter saw (you have a Stanley for about PLN 200), you will cut the slats exactly and you do not have to spend thousands on pro equipment.

Magic_moon · Answer

And I will write again that Metaba and blue Bosch is a great thing for years
