Years ago, I bought a cheap hand mitre saw. It looks a bit like this one.

Until recently, it has always cut square and surprisingly accurately.
Then my son borrowed it. Now, the blade twists, and I get an angled cut.
What's he done to it, and is there any point buying a replacement blade
rather than binning it?

If I do bin it, is there any point in buying something similar or are
they all crap?

BTW, I know that lending tools is a stupid thing to do, but I am happy
to support my son in his new venture, even if he doesn't return stuff in
the same condition. And, more to the point, doesn't tell me that he's
broken it subtly.



Well it's obvious isn't it:-) You let him work with me and I said "don't
****ing break it"


BTW my Dad has asked me if he can "borrow" the drill I bought him for
Christmas......
