110 V-Site Used like new Evolution Power Tools R210CMS Compound Saw £36.66 (plug not for domestic use) Amazon warehouse

Worst mistake of my DIY career buying a cheap chop saw

Yeah I saw the positive reviews, yeah I calibrated it a million times

It ruined so much of my work, for whatever reason, the unit I had kept going out of alignment, sent it back 3 times, bought higher toothed blades, did everything I should have done to ensure a nice square cut

But after 3 returns from a warranty repair, the unit would cut fine for about a week then revert back, it would be just a mm or 2 out

You don't think it's a lot, but on long cuts and doing frames, you always end up with big old mitre gaps

Finally invested in a £400 dewalt saw and the difference is night and day, if you are doing finer internal work dont buy one

If your framing or for outdoors stuff this would be OK, but deep search on the forums you will see loads of people complaining about the same thing

I spent 2 3 years blaming myself until finally last week a friend let me borrow his one, felt such a relief to know it wasn't me this whole time

They say a good workman never blames his tools, maybe back then when they use to make things of good quality and to last

But the kind of tolerances on these just bugged my OCD

Not worth it in my opinion

£99.99 for me.

Got one need to find a good stepdown transformer probably the one which supports 1500w to be on safer side.

I have the 240V version at fifty quid a while back, much easier to store and lug around than the bigger stuff. The clamp is crap so was chucked and you can cut thicker, wider than suggested in the advert once it is removed, and/or turn the wood around if it is too wide for one cut. I think brill for the money for small projects, such as building furniture, but the sliding ones would be better if you were doing, say, a loft conversion.
