Hi,
I'm looking to buy a sliding mitre saw in the boxing day sales and would like some advice.
I am an amateur woodworker (very amateur) but will soon be embarking on buying my first house and would like to be able to have a go at putting down flooring, skirting boards etc.
I also like to make things out of pallets - cabinets, fireplaces.
Rarely would i need to cut anything super deep but occasionally may use it to cut 4 inch sleepers but not really prepared to get a 12inch saw due to space and more importantly budget.
So im looking for an 8 inch or 10 inch saw and have narrowed it down to these three and would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback on the suitability.
Front runner:
bosch gcm 8 sjl
Second place:
DeWalt DWS778-GB 250mm
Third place:
Fury 3XL
My reasons behind these choices are as follows:
1. my budget is £300ish and the top two are £300
2. I like Bosch tools and the 3 year warranty for blue tools
3. I like the functionality of the bosch
4. The dewalt offers an extra 15mm depth of cut over the bosch at the expense of a few added extras (laser, trench cutting)
5. the fury is way cheaper.
Sorry if this has been discussed a million times before but really would appreciate some advice from some people in the know.
i look forward to your responses.
