Flip Over Saw for Mitre, Bevel and Rip Cutting
Our flip over saw combines two valuable woodworking machines in one practical unit. It can be configured as a mitre saw for cross-cutting, bevel cutting and trimming, then converted into a bench saw for ripping planks and cutting compatible sheet materials.
This versatile design makes the machine suitable for professional joiners, carpenters, fit-out contractors and construction teams. A flip saw can reduce the number of separate tools required on site, while flipover saw hire provides access to professional cutting equipment for exactly as long as your project demands.
Customers searching for a DeWalt flip over saw should speak to our team about the specific make and model currently available, as fleet equipment may vary.
Why Choose a Flip Over Saw?
The main advantage of a flip over saw is its ability to complete different types of cutting without requiring two separate machines. The saw table can be repositioned to change between cross-cutting and ripping configurations, making it a flexible addition to a temporary workshop or construction site.
A flip saw can be particularly beneficial when space is limited or equipment must be transported between working locations. Instead of moving and setting up a mitre saw and a separate table saw, one convertible machine can support both functions.
Professional flipover saw hire is ideal for short-term joinery, refurbishment and installation work where purchasing a specialist machine would not be cost-effective.
Two Cutting Functions in One Machine
Mitre and Bevel Cutting
In its mitre-saw configuration, the flip over saw can be used to cut timber components to length and produce accurate angled cuts. This function is suitable for preparing skirting boards, architraves, mouldings, frames, trims and other finishing materials.
The machine can support straight cross-cuts, mitres and bevels, depending on the required angle and the dimensions of the material. Careful measurement and correct adjustment are essential before each cut.
Bench-Saw Cutting
After the table has been converted, the flip over saw can operate as a bench saw. This configuration is suitable for ripping timber boards lengthways and cutting compatible sheet materials into narrower sections.
The bench-saw function can be useful when preparing timber for framing, joinery, repairs or general construction work. Users should always ensure the fence, blade guard and other safety features are positioned correctly before cutting.
A flip saw must be converted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Never attempt to reposition the table or make adjustments while the blade is moving or the machine remains connected to its power supply.
Power and Cutting Capacity
The machine has a 2000W power rating and is available in 110V or 240V configurations, subject to availability. The 110V version is commonly suited to construction-site environments, while a 240V machine may be appropriate for a suitable workshop or indoor supply.
With a maximum cutting capacity of 140mm × 68mm, the flip over saw is capable of handling a range of professional timber cutting tasks. The dimensions and orientation of the workpiece should always be checked against the machine’s capacity before work begins.
The unit weighs approximately 37kg. It should therefore be transported, unloaded and positioned using safe manual-handling practices. Once set up, the saw must stand on a firm, level and stable surface.
Typical Applications for a Flip Saw
The machine can support work such as:
- Cutting skirting boards and architraves
- Preparing timber trims and mouldings
- Producing straight cross-cuts
- Cutting mitres for corners and frames
- Forming bevelled timber edges
- Cutting framing timber to length
- Ripping planks and boards lengthways
- Sizing plywood and compatible sheet materials
- Supporting workshop, fit-out and renovation projects
- Preparing timber for construction and repair work
The dual-purpose design makes a flip saw especially useful for projects involving a mixture of finishing work and general timber preparation. Contractors can switch between functions as the work progresses without transporting two full-sized saws.

DeWalt Flip Over Saw Searches and Model Availability
A DeWalt flip over saw is a well-known type of combination saw used across the joinery and construction industries. However, makes and individual models can change within an equipment hire fleet.
If you are specifically looking for a DeWalt flip over saw, contact KDM Hire before booking to confirm current availability. It is also helpful to explain the work you intend to complete, including the material dimensions, cutting angles and available power supply.
The most important consideration is selecting equipment with suitable capacity and functionality for the task. Our team can advise whether the available machine meets your project requirements, even if your initial search was for a DeWalt flip over saw.
Safe Set-Up and Operation
Before using the machine, place it on stable, level ground with enough clear space to support longer workpieces safely. Check that all guards, fences and adjustments are secured before connecting the electrical supply.
Every flip saw user should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection. Suitable respiratory protection or dust extraction may also be necessary when cutting timber or sheet products.
Flipover saw hire equipment should only be operated by someone who is competent in the use of powered woodworking machinery. Keep hands away from the cutting area, use appropriate work supports and never remove offcuts until the blade has stopped completely.
Before converting between operating modes, disconnect the saw from its power supply. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully and confirm that the table and locking mechanisms are secure before restarting.
Selecting the Correct Equipment
Before arranging flipover saw hire, consider whether you need to complete cross-cuts, angled cuts, rip cuts or a combination of these tasks. Check the maximum size of the materials and confirm whether a 110V or 240V electrical supply is available.
If your search began with DeWalt flip over saw equipment, let our team know which functions and capacities you require. This allows the team to recommend the available machine based on the work rather than the brand name alone.
For projects that only involve cross-cutting, a dedicated mitre saw may be suitable. Where both cross-cutting and lengthways ripping are required, the convertible design offers greater versatility.
