Can anyone please tell me where I can get a decent budget compound mitre
saw from? Not bothered about laser guidance or other fancy bits, I just
want something basic and robust.

I just need it for some skirting and other odd jobs.

I bought one from B&Q for ~$30, but it can't cut straight (how one of
these manages to cut a curve across every mitred joint I don't know!).

It's more than likely to be the blade rather than the saw. These cheap
saws are fitted with crap blades, a decent blade will cost more than you
paid for the saw. I note that Axminster sell a cheap sliding mitre saw
similar to the £99 B&Q single rail job, but they fit a better quality
blade which puts another £40 on the price.


Thanks for the advice...

I'm looking at the Axminster MS12C (300mm £99)...???


What do you think?
