£79.95 now needs expiring

Aldi is double bevel, I think the Lidl one is a single bevel sliding mitre.

Check the one from Aldi

They are both very good for the money. This is a nice saw which cuts wood, plastic and metal, ideal for things like picture framing. The Aldi (and similar Lidl) ones are a little more expensive but have a sliding mechanism for longer cuts (such as skirting boards - you can still use this one for skirting boards by turning the board over & making two cuts). So, it just depends what you need the saw to do: there is no poor choice for the money.

Which is better, this or the Aldi one?

Got the Aldi one. 3 year warranty and it was recommended by a carpenter also getting one in Aldi.

good price, BUT ........ buy a chop saw without a slide on it and you will soon regret not spending more.

I purchased the Evolution 210 sliding version, it is usually around £149 at screw-down although they often run offers at £99 however the one I found was on flea bay sold by Evolution as a "refurb" although the one I received looked as though it had never been used. 100% fantastic delivered for under £50! just done 6" skirting and it was brilliant. Highly recommended.
But definitely go for sliding version.

Not suitable for single cut in 'normal' laminate as the planks are too wide, however you can always cut and flip/turn (turn recommended or you will get splintering)

(On the splintering front a quick line of masking tape helps stop in)

I personally would hold out and get the titan sliding, or better so the rage3 at £149.99 with 255mm cut ;-)

All about budget. This is a cracking price for this product tho so hot.

​Only if the boards are less than 120mm wide.

This any good?

Seems like a good deal, but I will point out you can get a refurbished sliding mitre version for this sort of money from the Evolution ebay outlet. Not everyone will want refurbed but just making people aware.

Me too have the £5 voucher, but I must also resist.

Yes, though the laminate will flake off if you apply too much pressure

Will this work fine for cutting laminate floor? Need to get one for Monday...

aldi online have a compound sliding mitre saw for £79.99 plus a three year warranty for an extra £30 I would go for it,and not the fixed mitre saw.

i may have to invest then. thanks

Different products. This product is a smaller simpler saw but with an expensive Japanese blade that cuts many different materials the Aldi/Lidl offerings are normally for use with natural and artificial wood and light plastics but do rough cuts fast. Iv'e got the larger Evolution saw and the quality of the product even the Chinese made saw itself is much better than the Lidl and Aldi offerings which are low end saws. Those are perfectly fine for wood which is an easy soft material to work with. I think someone has already reported that the guard on his Lidl or Aldi saw broke and now quite dangerous to use. Some of the cheaper models only have flimsy transparent guards. If you actually slipped and pushed the guard towards the blade it would probably instantly cut through it and start cutting straight into your arm etc. Both great value products though and both fit for their intended purpose.

Guy on my job has one of these I have used it really good for the money and a slider. I would say for an extra £30 it's a no brainer it's a much more versatile tool.

Unfortunately it's currently out of stock I will be getting one when they get them again.

I've been using mine for 45 degree skirting cuts and it seems okay.

Like others, I regret not getting a sliding version.

There are Lidl and Aldi deals if you search.

I'm no rocket scientist but the sliding saws got 400w more and a simple blade change to the same spec would do metal as well?

Decent price if that's all you need but I really think at some time most people will regret not getting a sliding one for much longer cuts - I certainly did. One like I got coming up shortly at Lidl for £79.99 (already posted I think).

Couldn't find posting but here it is - from next Thursday:

I've had this for over a year now, good bit of kit for rough cuts like framing etc. Seeing if I can get away with sneaking the Aldi sliding mitre into the house as I've got skirting to cut that's too big for this.

Any other time I'd say to grab this, but due to the Aldi and lidl sliders out soon for just £30 more, I'd say to go for that instead as down the line you might find yourself having to buy a slider later anyway and it'll save you.

Ended up adding in a roll of electrical tape for 99p to get the free delivery. Thanks for the suggestions though :smiley:

Damn, I didn't notice that :stuck_out_tongue:

10% off at Swindon screwfix all weekend as its their 10 year birthday weekend

I noticed this too, but all referring to 110v who are generally guys who are used to to end spec saws

Looks good enough for the avid DIYer... Contemplating this myself or one of the sliding mitres

Yeah Screwfix are very sneaky in that they sort the reviews "High - Low" by default so unless you re-order the reviews you only get to see the most positive ones.

Quiet bad reviews here

Saying it's wobbly blade and inaccurate cuts especially at 45 degrees angle

Any bargains on a sliding mitre saw?

​Yeah but I said this with my, axe, chainsaw, bench sander plus others, when I don't do much cutting I couldn't get away with it

I must resist....... Good price though

I've used one of these saws for several years, it is a really good tool and £50 is a very good price (I think I paid £99 for a package that included a very good circular saw from the same manufacturer).
Heat added.

3.3 chashback with top cash back

Just got a £5 off over £25 spend letter through the post.....must resist buying...! Sounds like a good deal to me op, have some heat!

saw is good price, good find

not available for delivery

I Think the Aldi & Lidl offerings are better value as they are double bevel sliding versions, worth the extra money imo.

Have the evolution rage circular saw and for the money it's absolutely superb. For those in doubt check the reviews.
I need to spend 1p to get free next day delivery on this. Anyone know the cheapest item on screw fix I can add in to get this mitre saw delivered? Thanks

Can't comment on the quality of the Aldi or Lidl one but returning power tools is a bit of a nightmare last time I checked. Those extra metre long drills bits they sell from time to time are handy though!

Did I mention this bad boy cuts through metal with the same blade?? More below:

The 230V Evolution RAGE3B2102 compound mitre saw is suitable for work on a range of materials. A RAGE TCT multipurpose blade makes clean cuts through steel, aluminium, plastics and even nail-embedded wood. TCT blades stay sharper for longer than HSS equivalents, but when it is eventually time to change the blade, the included box spanner makes it simple. This saw weighs just 8.4kg, which makes it portable and easy to store. An efficient dust bag makes it suitable for use indoors, or in areas that need to be kept tidy.

wow great price!
