FYI Aldi and Lidl show SCMSs for £80. Aldi's is on Thu 7 May and,
perspicaciously (!), Lidl have theirs coming up three days before, on
Mon 4 May.

They both use 210mm blades. Aldi's takes more power but that's about all
I can say to distinguish them. Lidl mention some details but not the
slide length, and the Aldi web site tells you even less than the Lidl
one.

Observed limitations on both:

38mm max thickness on 45deg (45deg on 4x2" would be nicer, requiring a
250mm blade)

Shaping on back of guide suggests it is limited to a LH tilt on mitre
and looks as though it wont go below 45deg without fouling.

Dust bag will be fairly hopeless but does mean that it has a port that
you can bodge a workshop vac onto.

Overall:

A bit small but serviceable, larger would be a lot heavier.

Can't recommend an alternative however, my B&Q no-name will mitre to
both sides and mitre 4x2 but the stop accuracy and marking is dismal.
