Cross cut and radial arm saws cover a wide spectrum of specifications and capacities. Popular for general workshop use, radial arm saws have the ability to not only cross cut but make mitred cuts. In addition the blade itself is inclinable allowing the possibility to create compound angles. Cross cut saws tend to be of a heavier construction with larger motors for cutting larger timber sections. These machines are also available with mitre and compound facilities as well as straight forward cross cut only machines.
