Trim cutters???

[nalla]

Hi lads, I always use a Quansol mitre box since they have been on the market, they are fine but because i only use metal square/flat trims these days i was thinking of buying a cheap joiners mitre saw which they say will cut metal as well as wood, i noticed screwfix now sell two cheap handy size mitre saws for £49.00 each. What's the forums view on this subject??? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Proxxon KGS 80 or the rage evolution small chop saw

Only problem with the electric saws is when it flicks the off cut out like a bullet!
Shame you can't get a thin grinder disc in one.?

I have the proxxon saw. Didn't know they did one.

Good find.

Make sure your blade has negative rake and it will cut a lot better and safer.

What's negative rake?

It's the angle the teeth are set on blade. It's very slight but the world of difference when cutting metal trim.
