It is a corded machine used to make precise, quick, and accurate crosscut in a work piece. Common applications include crown molding or framing operations. A great majority of these versatile power tools are relatively small is size and portable, with common blade sizes ranging from 8 – 12’’ in diameter, although larger blades are available. The type of blade generally included with a drop saw is usually a standard blade for common applications. A drop saw is often confused with a miter box. Therefore, it is important to make a difference between a mitre saw and a mitre box. A mitre box is a box constructed from plastic or wood that allows one to make precise angle cuts with a handsaw. The drop saw makes accurate angle cuts by pulling a blade down onto a work piece. And this work piece is held against a fence.
