STANLEY SM1800 Sliding Mitre Saw, 254 mm, 1800 W The STANLEY SM1800 (order code SM1800-QS) is a corded double-bevel slide mitre saw with a 254 mm blade, driven by an 1800 W motor running at up to 4800 rpm. It belongs to the STANLEY Corded Range, built for productivity and longevity. Double bevel and cutting accuracy The head bevels to both sides, so two bevelled edges can be cut without turning the workpiece over. The mitre scale offers nine mitre stops, with a range of 0-47° left and 0-52° right. A robust base and fence hold the workpiece steady and repeat the angle in production work. LED shadow cut line Instead of a laser, the saw projects an LED beam that casts the shadow of the blade itself onto the workpiece. The line matches the real kerf width and needs no calibration, unlike a laser pointer. Dust extraction and rails The saw ships with a dust bag and has a vacuum cleaner connection. The slide runs on high-grade dual steel rails, and the built-in length stop speeds up repetitive cuts of the same size. What the manufacturer supplies STANLEY lists the following for article SM1800-QS: the 1800 W mitre saw with a 254 mm blade, an 80-tooth blade, a dust bag, a tightening wrench, a vertical clamp and a rear support. The vertical clamp presses the workpiece against the fence, while the rear support extends the working area for long battens. Applications Suited to cutting skirting, moulding, trim, frames and timber profiles at an angle, as well as crosscutting boards and battens. Mains power makes it convenient for stationary work on a bench or stand. At 18.6 kg the saw stays steady while cutting yet can still be moved from one site to the next. Warranty The manufacturer gives a 1 year limited warranty, extended to 3 years when the tool is registered with STANLEY. The exact terms are in the documents supplied with the tool.

The saw is built for 254 mm blades. The manufacturer's pack includes an 80-tooth blade suited to clean crosscutting of timber and wood-based boards. What does double bevel mean? The head tilts both left and right. When bevelled cuts are needed on both sides of a workpiece it does not have to be turned over, which saves time and reduces errors on long skirting and mouldings. Is there a laser cut line? No, the SM1800 uses LED lighting that casts the shadow of the blade itself onto the workpiece. The advantage is that the shadow matches the real kerf width and needs no calibration, unlike a laser pointer. Can it be connected to a vacuum? Yes. The saw has a vacuum cleaner connection, and the manufacturer's pack also contains a dust bag. Indoors, connecting a vacuum cuts airborne dust considerably. What angles can it cut? The mitre scale has nine detent stops, with a range of 0-47° left and 0-52° right. The bevel works both ways, which allows compound cuts. What does the manufacturer's pack contain? STANLEY lists for this article: the 1800 W mitre saw with 254 mm blade, an 80-tooth blade, a dust bag, a tightening wrench, a vertical clamp and a rear support. What is the warranty? STANLEY gives a 1 year limited warranty, extended to 3 years when the tool is registered on the manufacturer's site. The warranty terms are in the documents supplied with the tool. ..
