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.

Seems reasonably chunky but not tried out in anger.

If it's this one

or similar I bought one two years ago for £99. With care the thing can
deliver good accurate results, but of course it isn't like one costing
£400. I've used mine a lot and it shows no signs of wearing out. The
lazer gadget is totally useless.
