Just picked up one of these. AND YES I know there are loads of folk who **** off Lidl's Parkside brand but I have got quite a few of their power tools and never had a problem with them...I also own a few Bosch and Worx tools and have had Makitta and Dewalt etc and yes they are a bit nicer but also much more expensive. With a 3 year garantee you cant go wrong for home DIY use.
The basic Worx saw is the same price but this is 50 watts more and also comes with 2 other blades and a long hose to connect to vac.and a laser which projects a sighting line, which only the more expensive Worx ones have...in a nice case as well.
It has a very nice depth cut setting method and feels well made
I have been looking for one of these for a while (my similar 'Exact Saw' was stolen from my van) as most jobs dont need the full depth capabilty of my full sized Evolution circular saw and this can be used one handed.
Lidl/Aldi dont stock these plunge saws very often...drills/jigsaws/grinders etc yes are regularly stocked but not very often these plunge saws...hence my trip this teatime as they often get Thursdays stock out on Wed eve.
Expect they may sell out quickly.

Got quite a few Parkside tools. Only ever had a problem with a battery operated multitool that wouldn't charge. Emailed them and sent them the receipt. They sent me a complete new one so got 2 tools and one charger. Bargain

How long after you bought it?
I bought one of their drills last year - its been great - demolished a couple of walls - but I now can't get it to go hammer only. As they come into the shops rarely I was wondering how the 2 year guarantee worked.

Hi, I also fancy one of these but already have a parkside jigsaw. I am wondering where this would be useful. I am only a beginner in DIY world and as you say this is a rare product, I wonder I should stock it.
cheers!

Great for cutting out floorboards.

Other than a drill I would say this will be one of my most used tools....depends what you mainly do but I find I am doing straight cuts in wood up to 3/4" thick like cutting/lifting the odd floorboard (like Emeye above)
and cutting ply and will save me getting the big circular saw out and easier to get in confined spaces
Good for tiles as well with the diamond blade

I have one from a previous sale, absolutely love it. Much easier than the big one!

I have the previous version of this.
I usually cut only 15mm on first pass and then full depth.,
Lot less scarey then a full size circular saw.
Ideal for cutting boards and rabbets and long straight edges

Seems about the same as even larger circular saws noise wise...quite noisy...and as long as you take it slowlish on the 20mm ply and the blade is good I cant see a problem as the max depth is 25mm.....just about to cut some 20mm chip board to give it it's first use so will edit this with reult when done :smiley:...UPDATE: just zipped through some 20mm chipboard and tongue a groove floorboard no probs :smiley:
