..Hi all, ..still trying to find the "best" mitre saw. Every time I think I have made a decision, there seems to be a post or review that suggests there maybe some "issues" with the saw I have selected. About the only one left on my list now is the Ryobi EMS254L. It seems to be a good...

..many many thanks for this post..I am still deliberating, about the best saw to get for £200 - £300 =and this particular saw is (now "was") still on my "possibles list.!!..so a timely post.... ..I really can't justify / afford a ore expensive saw, so I am now considering just buying a...

Hi I recently got the Charnwood W380, (it was at a show, so got about £30 off list). I ahd been looking for a basic drill for a while, and on the face of it this seemed to be good value for money, a wide speed range, 16mm chuck, and looks "robust". I have not had much chance to us it yet, but...

Hi GrahamF..I have been looking for a saw in the £250 - £300 price range for a while and have still not "committed"...so have been following this thread for some ideas. I had not heard of "SIP" until I saw your post, but checking the only 2 reviews on Amazon (both "1 star")...I guess you get...

+2 Record..I recently looked at buying a bandsaw and got tempted by Charnwood, (they were on display in the showroom)...but went to a "show" which had Charnwood and Record on display....and I must admit I thought that the Record stuff generally was of better quality than Charnwood..and if you...

Hi and thanks again for the advice .....main purpose is general use....don't think I will ever be making furniture.

The list so far:- -Bosch GCM 8 SJL -Ryobi EMS254L Compact Sliding Mitre Saw, 254 mm, 2000 W -Hitachi C8FSE Slide Compound Mitre Saw 216mm 240V 1050W -Makita LS1018

Hi all and thanks for the input...The Makita does look a bit like the dogs dangleys....certainly will consider. Odd that its on Amazon for £750!!..toolsttore £350....perhaps need to search the corners of the piggy bank... thanks for all the useful advice...must admit my "old" saw has a laser...

Hi and thanks for the replies...looking to spend £250...give or take...would rather have "quality".....after my "Bosch" cordless drill purchase I did say I would not buy Bosh again...I had assumed "Bosch" meant quality...but the cordless drill I got is totally crap...very poor quality..obviously...

Hi again, ..still looking for a new mitre saw....limited budget but don't want to go "too" cheap...have started a list of likely candidates, and have come across the Bosch GCM 8...seems to offer the most bang for your buck in this pricerange...just wondered if anybody had one and could offer...

My old "refurbished", chop saw is on its last legs having built a couple of sheds and various other odds and sods over the years, so have decided to look for a new one..can anybody recommend the best make? I had a look at the Charnwood yesterday (and the saw stand) as it seems to have quite a...

..problem is I ordered it from Pen tools a couple of weeks ago..(before I was aware of the show...), so obliged to honour my agreement really. ..live and learn. Show was really good, and a chance to compare suppliers. I did buy the Charnwood W380 drill as seems to be a good discount. Not bad...

Went to show yesterday, BS300Ewas £479.999 (- £20), BS350S £599 (-£100) BS 400 £899.99 (-£100)...BS 250 £219.99 (-£40..but I think they had run out)..interesting to compare with Charnwood that were probably about £40.cheaper, but did not appear to be quite as good quality. .bit gutted really as...

..ha ha ..defo not posh....oh so common..record will do for me.....

..looking for one myself....depends on budget and what you want to use it for I guess....I am considering Charnwood and Record....although I am not an expert, Record stuff seems to be better quality, but I guess most if not all are made in China these days....(probably the same supplier, just a...

..ta for the feedback.....Paskins have confirmed no entrance fee so will pop over next Friday.... ta

ta for the advise...nb Knigton "Wales"..so Paskins is "nearest". Have also been to "Pen Tools" Hereford..seems like a really good shop but no ""record" stuff on display..but they do supply it from the catalogue...just like the idea of "seeing it" first....many thank for all the input

..Paying to attend?...glad you told me...!..

Hi, looking to attend a "Record" show in a week or two as have been advises that you can get some good deals....hopefully buy a bandsaw and drill. Any idea as to what sort of discount (if any) to expect?
