Default Sliding mitre saw


"John Rumm" wrote in message


I had a NuTool chop saw for a while. Only small capacity and not very
accurate, but it was ok for chopping studwork. However the guard was
flimsy and clunky in operation. The metalwork that made up the various
leavers etc was rather bendy and hence you could find various sorts of
odd behaviour in use. Sometimes it would prevent the saw plunging fully
giving a partial cut. Other times it would stick the head in the down
position requiring you pull it up to get it to spring back, and other
times it would foul on the work piece by not opening in time.

So generally speaking it was a liability, and you had to take great care
to not get careless with it when rectifying the various stoppages.

But thats a NuTool(aka power devil?) these should never had been placed on
market,B&Q got shut of this junk pronto and things have still not changed in
their range of cheap power tools.
Aldi's power tools are considerably better and above the B&Q range in
respect to construction and pricing.
