SilverlineMitre Saw 550mm 14tpi Saw (SW05)

I purchased this saw primarily because for the past 60 years I have never possessed the ability to saw in a straight line. Therefore I assumed this machine would fulfill a life-long dream. I was wrong. Assembled as per the instructive leaflet, everything appeared as if my dream would be realised. I set the mitre to cut at 90 degrees, checked it twice, and set about shortening four IKEA Lack hollow legs. With the leg clamped securely, the saw blade guided in the two twin vertical towers and the first leg sawn, I placed it on a horizontal surface, and stood back - only to admire a leaning tower of Piza. I admit to being a far from competent joiner, but quite how a rigidly guided saw cut could travel so far out inside only a couple of inches travel totally eluded my intellect. Perhaps you'll have better luck. It appears that to achieve a 90 degree cut you have to set the mitre guide at 95 degrees. Close, but no cigar.

Still going today, great value for money well built

I replaced my old mitre saw with this one as it was the same model. The old one had done a really good job in the past. The new one was easy to use and relatively inexpensive but was slightly disappointed with the accuracy of the cutting angles, though I was sawing hard wood. It did the job finally.

nicht schlecht aber billig in der Herstellung da viele Teile die beansprucht werden aus Plaste sind billiges Baumarktprodukt nich empfehlenswert

after reading some of the reviews on here i couldnt decide wether to buy this or not, but in the end i did.....and am glad for the money it cost i think this is very good, i have used it everyday for over 2 weeks now and am very happy with its performance and surprised how sturdy it is, as i usually like to spend more and buy quality tools this was a gamble and for what i need it for it certainly paid off Silverline SW05 550 mm Precision Mitre SawSilverline SW05 550 mm Precision Mitre Saw
