Can anyone recommend....

[Riley]

horror of horrors I've had to dip my toe back in the bathroom market as a very good customer of mine has asked if I can do theirs. They want all singing all dancing bells and whistles so at least it should be interesting doing something rather bespoke.

Anyway i I will be having to build a stud wall and bring a wall out by about 5 inches in order to hide a load of pipework. This is going to involve a lot of wood cutting. Just wondered if anyone could recommend a cheap corded or cordless mitre saw to make the job a little quicker. I suspect once used this will not come out again for a while so doesn't need to be anything spectacular.

Doesnt have to be the best brand as long as it cuts nice and square. Any recommendations gratefully received. I I saw that poofix had a couple of deals. Didn't know if these were any good http://m.NoLinkingToThis/p/evolution-rage3b2102-210mm-compound-mitre-saw-230v/20332

cheers peeps

its got a laser as well which helps depends how big timber your looking to cut

Cheers Shaun I'd say mostly 2x4 but quite a lot of it. Laser isn't a bad shout either. It's the same brand as the one the link I included. Are they reasonable??? I'm assuming low end budget???

Two votes from chaps we trust so can't be too shoddy

I have the Evo rage 3 and is a good saw, although I'm slightly annoyed they only work with their own blades due to bore size.

Perfect saw for a bathroom fitter though, the blades last ages anyway.

 

[Riley]

Thanks Phil as I say. Not for regular use but something to bring out for multiple cuts on a larger job

I have this one but use it quite regularly .

A new sandvik sharp saw will save you bit money but cost a bit of energy n time lol but if only one partition , mind u a cheap chop saw from b n q @ £30 will still cut the wood ,

Ive got the evo rage, great saw, it stays in the van and comes out for any cutting, I'm crap trying to cut wood square with a hand saw, in fact I'm probably the worlds best at circles especially trying to follow a straight line.
The rage blade even cuts metal and plastic.

Nice one. Think that I'm sold

plus one for the evolution compound mitre saw, i have one for stud work cutting and a £70 chop saw for cutting down scrap tube to fit in an old cistern more easily.

Ive got this one on the van all the time for cutting trim and 3x2
Evolution RAGE3B2102 210mm Compound Mitre Saw 230V | Compound Mitre Saws | NoLinkingToThis at £50 you can't complain
Its accurate enough for framing and I've even used it for trim once set up correctly
With the multi use blade I use it for everything even cutting waste pipe if its already out
