In this video I show how I calibrated my Metabo KS 216 M mitre saw.
The Metabo entry model MT 216 M is a well priced miter circular saw that I found produce reasonable result for its price. It can do square cuts as well as up to 45 degree mitre and bevel cuts. My saw did NOT come well calibrated from the factory. So I had to adjust it - as I will show you now how I did.
On the Metabo KS 216 M there are basically four adjustment you can do.
One) Adjust the fence to be 90 degrees to the cut line - of the saw.
Two) Adjust the vertical end stop to make the cut surface square - to the horizontal plane.
Three) Adjust the 45 degree bevel end stop to make 45 degree bevel cuts.
And Four) Adjust the mitre angle indicator to show the correct mitre cut angle.
Note: I found no way to actualy adjust the mitre locking positions on the saw. If you have any idea on how to do this - please let us now in the comments below.
Please note this saw bends a little if you press to hard on the handle. But if you use a gentle hand you can make reasonably accurate square, miter and bevel cuts with the Metabo KS 216 M mitre saw!
