Hi
I have bought a B&D circular saw (http://tinyurl.com/ypqbd) and using it
today I've found it is not cutting at 90degrees. In fact (if my maths is
correct) it is more like 88-89 degrees or about 1mm out when cutting 30mm
of timber. There seems to be quite a lot of lateral movement of the blade,
which I assume is causing this.

Should I be expecting more accuracy from this? Although not a major
problem at the moment, I would have hoped for better. Are there better
alternatives out there in the same price bracket (£60)?

Cheap saw = low quality. (usually)
B&D = low quality. (usually)
Cheap B&D = low quality.
Makita circular saw = good quality. (£100) Not much extra for a
quality tool.
