MacAllister 1800W Double Bevel Slide Compound Mitre Saw at £119, reduced
from £169.

The site has a pic but no useful data.

Summary:
250mm blade, 30mm arbour
Max cut 280 x 80mm, with predictable reductions for mitres & bevels.

If that's the one I played with in the store the other day it seemed to
not be terribly rigid. Of course the display one could have had something
loose - but it just seemed springy, somehow.

My PP one cuts 12" - and that's the minimum I'll except. I put up a lot of
shelves. ;-)
