First time I have seen this type/style of Mitre Saw at Aldi and it looks good to me, especially as it will bevel on both sides rather than just one (so you don't have to turn the wood around for certain cuts).
Lidl are also selling a sliding mitre saw for the same price (I already have it), the Lidl one is good but I think this is better..
It also has a 3 year warranty.
With an input power of 1500W, this powerful saw boasts an exciting range of features.

I don't even know how to use one, but as a man I feel I must have one.

Just what I need.
Like the double bevel option, that the Lidl saw hasn't got.
Anyone know the cutting parameters (sliding-width & depth of cut)?

how accurate is this compared to more expensive versions like bosch, dewalt ?

The accuracy won't be a problem, it's the general build quality that won't be that great, but for 80 quid can't really complain.
Being a 210mm blade, it's probably 60mm depth and 220 length at 90 degrees.

I'd be interested to know this too as I'm in need of a new mitre saw.
I've checked out various different saws that I've seen in shops on display and all of them have lots of play in them and seemingly no adjustments to dial the thing in.

Hot.. but these only cut into 60mm of wood, I need a bigger blade for chopping firewood...even if its just a simple chop saw ...if anyone has seen anything.

I started cutting salvaged timber to burn with one of these, but switched to the band saw as alot faster and easier. maybe give a band saw a look?

For 130 (117 if you know an over 60 on Wednesdays) B&Q do a Steppach 254mm bladed one. We recently bought one for decking and it's great.

Pity that I recently replaced my mitre saw - good price for DIYing.

I bought the older version of this from Aldi a few years ago. The only real downside on mine was the safety cover...which broke after a short time. The saw still works well...just have to be careful now...like old school DIY..

You got me all excited, it's only a single bevel same as I already have.

I need to buy a saw to cut through 5cm timber, never going to use it again...think an electric saw will save my hands and arms, but want something as cheap as possible - Any help would be much recommended (I'm a total novice). Would you recommend this one?

Spend £7 on a normal saw.

Great price and double bar too which adds stability. Normally the laser function isn't that useful though, just a rough guide. Voted hot
