Capabilities

In the opinion of many DIY enthusiasts, despite some noticeable concerns about settings and installation, the Einhell TC-SM 2131 is one of the most efficient electric miter saws in its class. And for good reason, just the presence of the saw blade with 48 teeth and a diameter of 210 millimeters already says a lot about the device.

Coupled with a power of 1800W, the equipment spins in idle rotation at 5000 revolutions per minute, more than enough to make cuts of more than 200 meters continuously. The tungsten carbide blade also explains this capacity, this material being the benchmark in terms of power / efficiency ratio.

In cross section, this saw cuts 310 x 62mm. For more precision, the fixing table allows an inclination of 45 ° on either side of the main axis. In addition, the saw head itself has these same capabilities. To complete the work, a system of slides with a stop on both sides of the central position allows each piece to be worked at the right angle of attack.

Some things to watch out for

Even though the Einhell TC-SM 2131 electric miter saw enjoys the satisfaction of many users, there are still areas for improvement to achieve flawless performance. The main one is at the level of the dust bag. During intensive use, dust goes everywhere except in the bag. The laser sighting system pays the price, as it clogs up incredibly quickly.
