Description is "MacAllister Double Bevel Slide Compound Mitre Saw
(L)305mm 1800W"

does the 305mm relate to the diameter of the saw blade?

Does anyone know the arbour size most likely for this model?

Thanks

MacAllister stuff used to be rebadged GMC. Dunno if that's still the
case. Is it this one?

Before you buy MacAllister, it's worth considering that outside
guarantee, it's be virtually impossible to get spares.

LOL, sorry to dissapoint and well spotted, GMC are my initials

The link you posted is the saw that I have (though I have the B&Q
McAllister model as linked(!) to). I am going to use it to cut some
kitchen pelmet so felt that I should upgrade the blade to a finer model,
this is the one that i had picked out from toolstation...

http://tinyurl.com/yawba7b

Does that blade look like it would suit? It has converter rings for
various arbour sizes...

Cheers

Yeah, if the McA has a 16mm bore and the Silverline has a 16mm
reduction ring, that should work.

You could try a test cut with your existing blade to see if you need a
finer blade. The thing about having two circ saw blades is that you
only ever use the one that's in there to avoid the faff of changing
them.

Sorry I doubted you mate!

I think the Macalister has a 16mm bore but that will be Ok with the
Silverline. It is a negative rake blade which is correct for a mitre saw
(and incorrect for a table saw)

17 previous posts in the group none of which reference dubious Aussie

Ta for the advice, I already have it but it gets used very infrequently
so should hopefully last me a while!

How is it to use? If there's anything particularly good or bad about
it, it'd be good to know as B&Q's own brand stuff does get some stick
in the group.

It seems absolutely fine to me (keen diy level rather than pro) I have
used it for a large decking project, cutting skirting and some other
random jobs. The only thing that is naff is the laser guide which is
more gimmick than use. The angles on the machine are accurate according
to my square, however I intend to check these a little more thoroughly
before i mitre the kitchen pelmet/cornice. For the money that I paid for
it (£100 ish in sale) it seems a bargain (to me at least).

Try looking on the existing blade, the one on my 250mm version of the
same machine has the following, 250 x 2.8 dia 30 - 24T so has a 30mm
bore.

Yes the 305mm is the diameter of the blade = a metric foot/12"

The bore is most likely to be 30mm but not dead certain so best to
measure it before buying another blade.

The bore, diameter and number of teeth (often quoted as Z= ??) are
normally boldly written on the blade.
