Screwfix are doing a Fern mitre saw for £14.99 !!!! Swap the blade for a metal cutting one for make your chassis building nice and quick:

Screwfix

That's a bargain!!!

I bought a similar one from Srewfix at the full price two years ago and whilst not the most accurate machine it did a huge amount of work building my extension. partitioning, carcassing, skirtings, architraves, dado's, flooring and still going strong.

Two new blades since but I've not fitted the spare bushes for the motor yet.

Was a good deal at the full price.

That's fantastic!!!!

But where do we get blades to fit? Done a search on both google and screwfix and can't find any :O( Woe is me!!!!

yep just bought one, been waiting for the bargains to come up, needed one for those odd little jobs

Ahhhh - that's a shame - still, I only need it for cutting wood ....

i think its too slow for a grinding disk?

My 14" abrasive saw doesn't go that fast. You could get a spacer to take the disk centre bore down but 9" disks would be too big for it.

I got one ,turned up a new spacer, modded the guard and fitted a 9inch cutoff wheel.
Saved hours of hacksawing

the clark chop saw in machine mart is 2.2kw and only around £50 i think - the extra power will be noticed!

looking at the website i think ive remembered the price wrong though!
