Costs £40 from Screwfix. Comes with a rip fence and a mitre cutter. The saw blade (diamond) is tiltable. Water bath keeps the blade and workpiece cool.
So far so good. What really lets this down is the fact that the motor axis is not remotely at 90degrees to the fence and no obvious means to correct this. Sighting down the blade shows that it is about 3-4 mm out from front to back. You can just about accomodate this by skewing the fence to compensate but only just and it takes a LOT of brute force to make it parallel to the blade.
Had I realised this before I started using it then I would have sent it back.
