Anyone recommend a compound mitre circular saw?
Morning folks,
I have recently discovered that the £26.99 mitre saw I purchased for B&Q isn't much use for anything wider than 7cm, which I would have found out if I had read the box more carefully. I now need one for coving, cornice, pelmets and skirting, so it needs to cut up to about 13cm. I'd rather spend less than £100 if possible. B&Q (Performance Power Pro) have the "Slide Comp Mitre Saw Laserline (1200W) 210mm" at £129 and the "Slide Comp Mitre Saw (900W) 190mm" for £99.98 (see http://tinyurl.com/zgkr and http://tinyurl.com/zgl1 for details). As far as I can see, the extra £29 gets you: - More powerful motor - Bigger disc - Adjustable depth of cut - Side support bars but they both have adequate cutting potential. Is it really worth the extra £29 for these features? Can anyone recommend a different option? Thanks in advance, Al Reynolds |
