Thanks! That gives me four days to find out what a sliding mitre saw
does, and work out why I might need one someday.

;-)

Simple anwser to that is...

Lets suppose you want to lay decking ie 200 pieces need cutting to
size,now
that would mean alot of effort with a hand saw.

Sure we can just buy a conventional chop saw but at the same price you can
buy a cheap chop saw we have the oppertunity to buy a sliding mitre chop
saw
which will cut deeper and wider than the chop saw.
;-)


Thanks George, that was quick!

I've been using my plain vanilla mitre saw to cut skirtings and I get
irritated by the fact the saw misses just a little bit at the corner.
Now I need to decide whether it is worth £50 minus 1p to remove that
irritation ...


Or maybe filing a wee bit off the depth stop?
Or fitting a slightly larger blade?
Or putting a ply packing piece on the saw bed?
