Metal chop saw

[Stef]

Just checked ScrewFix & they have the rage 3 down to 50 bangers,
210mm, think I will purchase that & give it a bash.

Go the extra and get the Rage 3 S , sliding job thats the one i went for if i didnt make it clear soz . 110v and it bevels too.

I've got a big Dewalt sliding saw & stand so use that for any joiner work I do.
The 3s is £220.
Think the £50 one will win.

Some mitres with my Rage

The 210mm is £99 Evolution RAGE3-S 210mm Sliding Compound Mitre Saw 110V | Screwfix.com

But if you already have a slider fair enough , i didn't myself so it suited me.

I clicked into the wrong one, think I will pick that one up tomorrow if they have it in stock.
I inherited the Dewalt from my uncle but I could put it over to the brother in laws to get some space in the garage.
Cheers

Saw this one today in B&Q for £99 quid , think its £ 139 in screwfix! Looks a good bit of kit for trims!

Bit of an overkill for trims is'nt it.....

would be terrified cutting aluminium flat trim in case it jammed.

but must be ok if everyone is using them.

Not sure beam ,I've looked at these saws a few times now , wondering the same thing but if it makes the job of mitring easier I'll maybe get one!

What stops the edges 'burring' using one of these saws, or does it just not happen?

I remove the burr with a stanley knife first , then a few seconds with a bit of sand paper. Comes up mint imho. I,ll try and remember to take photo this week as i'm using porcelanosas pro part ( brush aluminium stuff ) at the mo.

Damn I actually gave away one of those Evolution Rage 3 saws without even trying it. I really didnt have much faith in what it could do but seems to make tidy work of the trims.

Will try and make a wee video of my saw on Monday

 

[Stef]

Well I bought the saw on Monday, sliding rage 3 at £100.
Took it back to ScrewFix today as the true Scotsman came out in me & I thought,
"Why the hell am I spending that kind of money to cut trims".
Fitted a new Bahco blade to my hacksaw & breezed through the trims!!!
