I have some scrap wood that I need to cut up into

I was looking for something cheap and found that B&Q
sell a mitre saw for under 30 pounds.

Last time I paid 30 quid for any saw, it came with a signature on it
in Japanese.

I just don't understand this thing with "cheap" tools. Why do people
not only go and buy B&Q rubbish, but they pay so much for it!


You don't need (or want) a mitre saw. They're a fine-toothed saw for
accurate(sic) work. For firewood you want a big coarse thing with
crosscut teeth on it. A good brand of brushwood-cutting bowsaw will
zoom through softwood scrap in no time. And it's les than 30 quid!
Try Axminster.
