  They are rubbish. After a job or two it will fall apart or the motor will pack in. I went through a few and got a refund.

  "Just looking for a Mitre Saw to sort some decking, this looks ok quality, with a laser also cant go wrong! "
  
  Plenty of things can go wrong - be careful!

  why buy mitresaw for 50£ when you could attach nails to molotov coktails for same effect?

  Cheap low capacity saw with pointless laser - probably wouldn't cut decking without turning it over midway.
  
  Only goof for architraves, small skirting and quadrants. Either invest in a pull out or sliding arm machine - or save money and get a cheap nobex copy for small jobs and easy storage-

  Does it need a blade if it has a laser?! (winky smiley - if only knew how)

  My B&Q Proline's alloy 'driveshaft' snapped after perhaps 20 cuts (diecast type small part thingy to centre of blade).
  
  I am well used to correct operation of saws and don't remember being particularly forceful.
  
  Decided to try again (B&Q didn't bat an eyelid at quick failure) with the same model (all others were £100-200 of course).
  
  Amazingly that was 3 yrs ago and it's still going strong. Used loads for joinery type stuff and firewood, small logs.
  
  Perhaps I am doubly sure though, that I don't abuse it. Slide saw would be more useful.

  You would need a sliding,compound saw for cutting decking boards.

  Who else on here gets a sense of accomplishment after they have cut someone's arm off with one of these?

  I have that one used it for about 2 years now, the original blade doesn't last and the replacement cost more than the whole machine. The replacement blade has been in most of those 2 years now and the machine is still going strong, it gets used almost daily from August to spring as I use it to cut up wood for my log burner, the rest of the year it gets used most weeks.

  I found 3 blades for a tenner in my local independent (but cheap) hardware shop.
  
  Admittedly, they are 5 or 10mm too small which requires the wood piece to be slid slightly towards you as you finish the cut, to do the last little bit neatly. Or just snap the last bit if only cutting firewood.
  
  (Centre hole is correct diameter of course).
