Hi all,
I need an accurate bench or table saw for perfect mitres. I wish to be able to make spot on angles that look and feel pristine. Any and all advice gratefully recieved.

No you don't, you just want one!
There is more to getting perfect mitres than getting everything at 45 degrees. The opposite sides have to be exactly the same length, too.
Just about any non-budget TS or SCMS will give you good angles if you set them up properly. But you can achieve perfect results with a crappy supermarket machine and good shooting board and plane.
How much do you want to spend?

Lol I guess thats fair comment, your right enough Steve. I have just started making more of a range of wood products not just woodturning. Flat wood as you know is a bit of a mystery to me.
What I do understand is always buy right first time, even if it means waiting. I WANT A GOOD PLANER THICKNESSER AND I WANT A GOOD ACCURATE CIRCULAR SAW.
I want to cut accurate pieces for building huge vases and for picure frames and mitres on boxes, the budget is around £1500 for both items
