With luck and judgment like that you should have done the lottery that week too :lol:

Hi Alan, I understand now - that was very helpful so thanks :D I now see that Metabo's offering is much like the equivalent Axminster one, the Axminster SS-1600MH which is a couple of hundred quid more. It doesn't look like the Metabo can be beaten at this price. Cheers, Nick

Mark - something I am not clear about on the Metabo which I wonder whether you could tell me? On their blurb it says: "The V8 is Metabo’s flag ship panel saw with scribing blade to help ensure clean cuts top and bottom of the board, particularly important for laminated panels." Does that mean...
