I have some scrap wood that I need to cut up into
short lengths to make wood for the fire.

I am fed up doing this by hand and a jigsaw which I
already have doesn't seem the appropriate tool.

I was looking for something cheap and found that B&Q
sell a mitre saw for under 30 pounds.

As I'm not interested in the mitre, I will probably be pretty
heavy handed with it. Is it likely that this be up to the job
or is it going to break after a few cuts?
