I'm in the market for a Sliding Compound Mitre Saw (theres a mouthful) and was wondering what the current train of thought is.
I've notices that Axminster have a nice deal on the Makita LS1013 at the mo - (£100.00 off until the 2nd of June). don't think I would want anything bigger than that so it kinda ticks a few boxes.
Other brands I've considered are DeWalt and I've been told that Bosch are ok too (the one thing that puts me off a Bosch seems to be the real big thick set scales on things - I guess they have never heard of a fine point pen )
DeWalts have a horizontal grip (so I believe do some of the Bosch') - that would be a 'nice' to have.
Depth stops - that I can see being realy usefull - cutting tennons etc. Again I think the Makita does this.
Is lasers really that key? The Makita thats on sale at the mo doesn't have one but I've seen retro fitted lasers that could be added at a later stage.
anyways - I'll stop waffling - the floor is open.
