Angles not acurate ???. Are you sure it's not you. What is it they say "A bad workman always blames his tools" or that's what my wife keeps telling me!!!

To be fair the angles on my cheap b and q one are rubbish. The trick is to have a template to calibrate it with. Sure the above will do a good job, you don't need branded tools for diy. Do the maths some people buy a branded 150 pound drill and only drill 20 holes with it, that's 7.50 a hole. Just get cheap kit and deal with the odd limitation.

Interesting as I have had one for two years, used for odd jobs and found it perfectly capable and my angles were spot on and the stand is solid.

Probably right, most cheap ones have poor angles, mine certainly does (although not this model) - and cutting wood at 45degrees is impossible, or virtually, luckily wood filler sorts that :smile:
Good for cutting up kindling for the fire though, or cutting up lots of wood that doesn't need super accurate cuts.

Picked one of these up for £40 last month. Haven't used it yet but looks pretty good for the price

You'll be lucky to find one as they have been Rtc for months.

Laid solid oak flooring in several rooms with this and it did a fine job. The cutting angle at 0 degrees was slightly out but I just shifted the dial over a fraction to account for this. The board ends were covered by skirting anyway and the cuts were still tidy. I guess it depends what job you need it for, but this should be good for most woodworking!
