I would say the Metabo has a small amount of flex tho id say less than quarter inch. You have to put a decent amount of pressure on it tho and i expect this would happen on any sliding saw as its just flex in the metal. On another note, i know this isnt an amazing picture but this is the fence...

I took the plunge and went for the Metabo KGS 216 M in the end! Thanks for all the replys and advice

Cheers for that guys

As the description really, has anyone got any tips on working out decking quantity when being layed diagonally?

Just poped into b&q to see what they had and one of the macallister saws is almost identical to the Eubaur one in screwfix! So that has given me some idication of the quality. Tbf the mac one wasn't to bad, seemed fairly solid which was surprising. Don't know how solid it would stay that being said.

Thanks for your honest feedback. That's what I'm worried about but until you try it yourself you don't know how well it will perform.

Cheers for the reply mate. I'm cutting a load of feather edge on the fence job then a load of decking after. But once I have the saw I'm going to be making a few picnic benches, plant boxes ect where I will need some consistent cutting of angles.

2 years I think from screwfix

If I was convinced that the extra money was buying better build quality then it would be an easy decision but I'm not so sure. The 3 year warranty and a parts service on the Metabo is a big plus. Would slop in the sliding mechanism causing inaccurate cuts be a cause to return it under...

Could the Erbaur saw be a contender also?

If it's the evolution saw your talking about thnn only their own blades fit

Did you have the 2015 model? How stable and strong was it when fully extended, was there much movement?

I don't like the idea of one blade does all like you get with the evolution saws, I would like to get a 60t blade for clean cuts.

Thanks for taking the time to reply

Yea i think thats my biggest concern, will the mechanism be sturdy enough to keep the cut accurate! I might not be making bespoke furniture but id still like the cuts to be accurate and give me the confidence that the job will turn out top notch. Are Metabo adding £100 extra just because they...

I have, but then i have no guarentee. I could shell out and the thing goes caput the first time i use it!

Im looking to buy my first mitre saw, it will be used for a fencing job and a decking project so will need to be sliding for the extra capicity. I dont have a lot of money so i would say very maximum £200 which i know isn't a huge budget in the saw market but its what i have. Ive been looking...
