Useful looking stuff from Lidl w/c 28/9/09

On mine I also have:

Sliding Mitre Saw with Laser Guide.

Looks like the variable Lidl offers strikes again, you have two mitre
saws available a SMS one and SCMS one?

Pretty sure the mitre saw up here (Carlisle) is not a compound one.
It's not described as such, just a SMS, and the picture doesn't look
to have the required dual axis of movement for a SCMS.

Well, the one which will be available at my local branch (Warwick) doesn't
*claim* to be a compound mitre saw - and there's no mention of bevel angles.
*However*, looking at the picture, it looks very similar to a Rexon compound
mitre saw which Screwfix are selling for £170. In particular, it looks as if
it just *might* tilt about an axis just below the sliders, in line with the
blade slot.

Would anyone else care to compare Lidl's picture with

and see whether you agree?
