Default Erbauer sliding mitre saw

A new line and a 80mm x 300mm cut. Sounds good at £129
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...21263&ts=22170

Anyone had an Erbauer saw?

Says unavailable. ;-)

Personally, I'd go for one with a full 12" cut. More use for shelving, etc.

You could place the shelving to cut on an some off cut etc to make up
the 5mm or so, unless te shelf is very deep (say 70mm)!

Everything is in mm these days. I have not seen 12" shelves for eons.

OK 304.8 mm, point's the same though ... timber being cut may be
reclaimed for example, not metric chipboard from a big shed.

Depends whether it means the saw is unavailable or the quantity in stock
is unavailable. I'd guess the latter.

Well we can't really be sure unless your familiar with the screwfix
stock control / orders system ?

I'm not sure that I'd assume the latter, as I would have though that
they would have an integrated stock control / orders system (who knows
though?) and thus if it was the latter then this to me would indicate a
systemic problem (which does not appear to be the case looking at other
power tools).

Who knows, but I can't order it though ...

.... not that I actually want to.

Alex.

Still says unavailable - not that I'm familiar with the Screwfix site.

Think you're missing the point.

I've looked. About as good as a Ravenheat boiler.

Matt, have you looked at this saw in the real, or are making things up
again? Screwfix have Ferm and now Titan, as the budget range and promoted
Erbauer as the semi pro/pro range. Some of the Erbauer stuff is not cheap at
all.

You'll have to ask Matt about that.

I have seen Erbauer products, including those you mention and they are
another bag of generic and underwhelming stuff.

Whether they promote the stuff as pro or semi-pro is only relevant if
they also have the service, backup and spares.

Matt, the vast majority of Screwfixes customers are the trade and the vast
majority of their power tools are pro tools. So, they must shift a lot of
these to the trade. If they were useless they would not be sold.

That's your typical (il)logic. It is tantamount to saying that a cow
is a four legged animal, therefore all four legged animals are cows.

Screwfix sells a variety of power tools ranging from the entry level
Erbauer, Ferm and Ryobi stuff to professional products such as Makita,
DeWalt and Bosch.

I'd love to see the evidence of this.

Plenty of fools like you who think all power tools are the same and only
consider price.
