A few months ago I was looking for a 165mm mains circular saw & ended up
with a Macalister from B&Q for £45. Spec looked good for the money.

Less than 3 months old, relatively little use & it started playing up.

Cross cutting a 2 x 4 & it started to fight back badly, could only just hang
on to it.

Appears that the bearing on the shaft had gone, causing the blade to wobble
like a dado head.

It went back for a full refund this morning. I've ordered a Makita 5604R.

I should know better by now. Last time I buy any kind of B&Q power tool.
