“This was bought to replace the earlier model which was more robust. I had to take one back due to play in the selection dog and numerous accuracy issues. I discovered the next one wasn't much better. This is a sloppy job compared to its predecessor. Lots of plastic and, what the plastic block extension bits are for goodness only knows they don't support anything as they're lower than the alloy surface. The steel bar supports that the silly plastic blocks have replaced are gone which also means no sliding stops. The sliding section of the left hand fence doesn't line up at the face and what looks like accurate machining is a bodged machining job. Fences weren't straight so you could square up one side to the blade or the other but not both. If hadn't had the old model I'd have thought it was ok for rough work but overpriced, however, comparing it to the old style it's hard to know what the manufacturer is thinking.”

“Does exactly what it says on the box. Some time was spent adjusting the datum 90 degrees vertical, 45 degree bevel and the lazer, alignment but not too much. But 1 to keep an eye on throughout its life.”

“Great bit of kit & has no problem going through 6 inch wide mdf. Mitre function is spot on. When it is folded down it is easy to carry as well.”
