Mitre saw

[charlie1]

An excellent compact mitre saw for your metal profiles. I have the larger one and it performs excellently. Just thought I'd share it with you guys

I have one, snags a lot and bends the trim after a few, and thats going REALLY slow, it would be better with a metal blade, but can't find one.
You can get a diamond tile blade for it though

 

[charlie1]

Is it that one or the larger one wider? Does it have the multi blade on it that cuts everything or a wood blade?

 

[White Room]

The link you put on is that the smaller version...

Yes whitey!

 

[charlie1]

...just to add, you must use a metal blade, a wood blade is next to useless.

The 210mm charlie with the multi blade,really good but it started snagging after a bit and bending the bead

I support or the trim with a piece of timber, trim placed face up and cut slow

 

[widler]

Me too mate, and put grips on either side.
Ive had the cutter since chrimbo and cut wood with it as well, maybe its blunt

Depends Deano, obviously no good for site work but if your doing a bathroom with loads of trim and have in the van then use it, you get perfect results very quickly. Tbh, I seen that video of you the other night, that block you made looks good. I've used the stanley and genesis blocks and found them both pants

Why no good for site work ??

 

[charlie1]

The one I have is 240. +. Site work = as few tools as possible in my experience so I wouldn't want to be carrying it around.

 

[The D]

I still think it is OTT for trim on site or not but if you like it that all that counts.

No worries mate, listen more, talk less and you may be a top tiler or even stone mason one day

So whats this like for cutting say, 3x2 Mark ?

 

[Spud]

I have one of these saws and used it for cutting trim on one job but it doesnt give a perfect cut and it started snagging after a few cuts so I have not used it since for trim cutting

 

[widler]

I disagree with the not giving a perfect cut gary, mines great.
But the snagging is a pain.
But Ive been looking at one of these.
I hate hacksaws with a vengeance ,owt what makes cutting metal trim easier is a big tick in my book
