Need a new chop/mitre saw for work. Looking at this : ebay

Seem to get the best of both from it but Im wondering if quality of one or the other may not be great due to it being a combo ?

Cheers

there ideal for skirting and fine work like that, but anything bigger than 4x2 it struggles a bit, dont think they have them in stock, but they may be able to order them in, what you going tbe using it for, 1st fix or 2nd?

There are a couple on ebay , cant decide btween the two.

Im going to used mainly for 2nd , but 1st from time to time.

I find that with cheaper saws like these the blade can move about a bit when doing rip cuts , which is no good and not something I want.

Do you find that happens at all ?

it did it with the blade you get with it, but when we changed it to one of the fine TCT blades it didnt do it that much, just looking in the screwfix book and there £270 in the 110, and the makitas are about £350

Dad's been a joiner for about 40 years and uses these all the time, Dont think he owns a hand saw anymore

He recently done my livingroom, used it to cut the beading for the laminate and replaced the facing and skirting. Took no time at all, great bit of kit.

I assume that you'll know this all ready but Makita is a top make also.

nar, no need for a hand saw in this century, no need for screwdrivers, and if they still used just handtools, id become an ice cream man
