EinhellTC-SM 2131/1 Dual Drag Crosscut and Miter Saw Ø210 x Ø30 mm (max. 1500W, 4900 rpm, integrated Drag Function, Workpiece Stop, Clamping Device, Carbide-Tipped Saw Blade, Laser)

Brilliant saw. Very easy setup and it works first class. Would recomme to buy if looking a great saw at reasonable money.

Great machine.Well worth the money.

As delivered, out of the box the saw was a little out of square and needed a few minutes of reading the manual and adjusting set screws to get it perfect. I've used it to cut 2x2 and 2x4 timber as well as fence boards and laminate flooring without problems. Cuts are a little rough with some tear-out as the supplied blade is quite aggressive, but it's fine for framing work for sheds/fences etc.Quite loud in use and the laser is useless/invisible outside but will probably be fine once I've got it set up in the shed.Hold-down clamp is a bit hit and miss; there's a technique to using it otherwise the rear post rides up higher and higher in it's socket with each cut unless you back the clamp off properly after each cut.The dust bag does help with collecting sawdust, but it's a mitre saw so it's never going to be dust-free in use.Has a good solid base, which means it's also quite heavy and the sliding rails and bevel adjuster give it quite a large footprint for storage, but that's going to be the same with every sliding saw in this price-range.

This chopsaw is a sliding good price well built Why did you choose this product over others?:Good price good make I have other tools of this make

Excellent paid £87 on primeday, very clean cuts

Excellent DIY saw. Lightweight and laser guided

I had hoped this might be a bargain buy (Black Friday) but as your head should tell you - if it looks too good to be true, it is!Worst is the design of the safety guard - it's held in place by just one self-tapping screw. It wobbles from side to side, and I can't understand how any reputable testing house would ever pass this as meeting CE / UKCA requirements (this me speaking as a product design engineer with 30 years experience).As others have said (should read the reviews first!) the basic design of it is poor and prone to failure.This might be ok on another product, but not a circular saw!The pointers showing where on the angle scales you are a plastic, held on with a single screw. You can move them by pressing on them with a finger - so that's your calibration goneThe general build quality is just about ok, but the recirculating ball slides are rough and it just doesn't feel like it will last very long at all.Lastly, in the manual is says the motor is rated for a max 5 minute run time before it overheats!So you'll be waiting for it to cool back down.... just pants really....Overall - AVOID and buy something else. I'm going to save my money towards a Makita unit, which I should have done in the first place

Amazing quality for the price. Perfect for DIY. I’ve just refurbished a house using it every day for months. Works like a charm
