Amazing. I'm a beginner aspiring DIY'R and wanted to start with small projects and eventually work up to bigger things and I must say, this saw is perfect for my needs. It's sturdy, well made, accurate and basically just feels "The business" Cuts great, easy to use, sliding feature works great. 10/10 from me.

Brilliant for the price, well made and accurate.

Excellent piece of kit. Easy to set up and great accurate results within minutes.

My Hitachi C10FCA finally packed up after 20 years of excellent service, I was about to dismantle it and attempt a refurb but decided to look and see what was available online first. Wow, so much choice and at such competitive prices (My Hitachi cost £200 back then). I looked up reviews here and on other sites, mostly DIY and tool sellers, also some youtube reviews, as a result, I selected this model as a decent budget saw ideal for my now somewhat limited use. One draw was I wouldn't have to change blades to cut through metal. First impressions when I opened the box were not good, compared to my old saw, this was light and tiny, to me, it looked like a toy. If it hadn't been for all the positive info I would have returned it as it was, but I decided to give it a fair trial. Assembly was straightforward but the instructions were somewhat overcomplex and confusing and could prove difficult for some, but stick with it and all should click into place. Once assembled it did look like an effective bit of kit, smaller than I was used to but the weight meant it was much easier to move around. It easily dealt with a range of woods at different sizes, the sliding head meant it could handle wide planks with ease, and the laser guide ( which I thought I wouldn't need) proved an added bonus. With metal, I've tried 5mm mild steel bar and 15mm copper tubing, both sliced through with ease. Cutting is clean and accurate, the cutting table is small so you will need to extend for anything over 1 metre long, the supplied clamps are not too good and need beefing up or replacing. So far I'm very happy with its overall performance so far, apart from one niggling thing. The sawdust bag provided is useless, unless you have an extractor set up you will need a vacuum cleaner on standby to clear up the mess as you work. Will this last as long as the Hitachi? I doubt it, it's not sturdy enough, but for my limited use if I get about 10 years I will be happy. As for the Hitachi, too good to junk so I've put it on my list of winter jobs.

Good build quality and fit for purpose

Great chop saw not put it fully thru. It's capabilities yet but am well pleased so far Wish I had purchased a stand now as it's quite heavy

A very good value for money saw. After assembly which took about 20 minutes I gave it a test run. It was quiet and very efficient. Its robust and well made cutting angles are easy to adjust. The dust collector was poor I'm going to hook up my Henry Hoover to see if it makes a difference. Overall really satisfied with the product.

Excellent precision cut Laser guided line for easy cutting Easy to hold cutting material with numerous options for clamping Just about right weight and size fitting my work surface perfectly A lot of components to assemble but once assembled looks great Pleased
