Which mitre saw?

[TissoT]

Yeah it's the LS1040 I'm looking at.

I have one in the Attic covering dust

Buying theses machines second hand is not a problem as they are build to last some have had little use and can resell once you have finished.

Hmm. A 5" cut isn't going to do deck boards, is it?

Probably not.

Dont go to small when you chose otherwise it will restricted the size of timber you can cut clean

So the sliding saw can do wider cuts then? I'm looking at a non-sliding one with a 10" blade which can do 5" cuts, does that seem like it would do?

I’m gonna need a bigger shed!

Take a look at the Erbauer I bought £125 and very good reviews, I think it cuts up to 300mm wide and many angles....

Now you've got the tools to build one.

If it's for cutting deck boards and general DIY I wouldn't spend that much.50/60 quid from Screwfix at a guess.Theyll be a three year warranty with that aswell.

I think I have this one, https://www.screwfix.com/p/evolutio...e-bevel-sliding-compound-mitre-saw-230v/2965v cuts everything we've thrown at it including 3mm steel box when we made the flatbed recovery truck

There isn't a shed in the whole wide world that is ever big enough.

Mine is huge, it's just a leaky delapidated concrete prefab with an asbestos roof, so ain't really any good.




On a slightly related note by the way, does anybody know the best way to get children's play sand out of a cordless screwdriver?

Wife's hairdryer...make sure you leave it on long enough that you can smell burning from the hairdryer 😁

take it apart, clean it and put it back together again.
