Which cheap circular saw? Going to need it about 6 times over next 2 weeks,
then probably twice a year max after that.

W/C 22nd Sept, Aldi are doing a Power Craft circular saw with laser guide
for £24.99
http://www.aldi.co.uk/special_buys/product_381.html

Or there's this "re-engineered" one from Langwells for £15.99:

The cheapest "proper" one I can find is £22.33+P&P from Hunter Tools

Or a cordless one for £19.97 from Maplin

The Aldi one has a 3 year guarantee, which is what caught my attention.
I mean, the amusingly named B&Q "Performance" saw is £19.97 with one year
warranty, and in my experience, performance stuff seems to last until they
come across anything tougher than damp kitchen paper.

So, anything against the Aldi one?

I'm going to get one. It comes with two blades, which is useful. For
another £8 you can but two more TCT blades. It's more powerful than
the others, and has a slightly better depth of cut. I shouldn't think
the "laser guide" is worth having, but you never know.
