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

Bit OTT for a bit of trim is it not

Ive just done a bathroom, it had about 15 mitres in it, saved loads of time and less hassle dean

i have the slightly larger one with slides and cuts 3 x2 no problem. The one I linked I'm pretty sure would do 3x2 with no problem. I picked it up in screwfix and it's very light, seemed ideal for us lot tbh

You say it saves time but how long can it save it's a bit of trim at the end of the day. Do you have the saw set up in the room with you and if you do how long is setting it up going to take. I'm not knocking you for using it I just see it like using a tx 1200 to cut a 6" tile when a hand scribe will do the job.

If I'm being honest, I'd more aim this thread at the bathroom fitters rather than hardcore tilers like yourself dean. These guys will require a compound mitre saw set up anyway for all types of different stuff but the likes of yourself going from plot to plot with a small tool bag , cutter and grinder then not ideal... I don't mean any offence by that btw. Some of the bathrooms I'm doing just now have 2 or 3 alcoves, a window, trim around door... You could be 7 or 8 length of trim in one room. That's where this is very handy.

dean is a bathroom fitter now !

Lol, didn't know that haha
