“This is basically a cheap mitre saw in all respects. I bought it to replace a 10 year old identical model that saw me through a barn conversion with only a few issues along the way. In the intervening time I can see that quality has suffered and this model is now no better than any other cheap chinese saw except the fact that it has a 255 blade and corresponding longer and deeper cut at 45 degrees. If you don't need to cut deep timber at 45 deg then just buy any of the other brands for cheaper. The cut angle accuracy isn't good. At 90 degrees the cut is about 1 degree out and requires setting with an angle tool to get proper accuracy. At 45 degrees compund mitre it is really out and requires setting each time it is moved. The blade start up time is very slow so that you have to wait a moment before starting the cut or els you get serious tear out at the slow speed. Basically, you get what you pay for so don't expect Makita quality at this price.”

“All around a well balanced, comfortable to use, and effortless cutting. The laser guide is very useful as well. It can cut through many more things than wood thanks to the TCT blade. Works well.”

“Brilliant bit of kit, just remember to move the guide rail before using the bevel option, I cut straight through mine with ease. Also remember to order a dust bag as it doesn't come with one gets very messy very quickly But I love it”

“Good machine for the price, a fairly easy initial set-up but if you are a complete novice get some help. Accuracy-wise, you need to set this machine up properly to get the best results, it has very fine adjustment settings to help you do this. I like the thinness of the cut the multi-material blade gives. Done some test cuts and it seems to be accurate to + or - one-quarter of a millimetre. This is fine for me, but if you want anything better you have to spend a lot more money.”

“Great mitre saw, robust with a quality cut, square and plumb. Unfortunately no Dust Extractor Bag provided in package but for some reason has to be purchased separately.”
