    I have to admit I have bought my share of cheapies over the years and depending what you want to do with them, they are usually good value for money. The cheap saws are not much good for picture frames but then again neither is the more expensive models. I have found that no matter what saw I use to make the mitre cut for the frames, they have to be trimmed up on the guillotine for an accurate mitre.

    The 254mm Sliding saw is great. I have done 2 decks with it and it's still firing on all cylinders.

    Only problem was trying to find a blade for a decent price.

    Irwin 60 tooth from Bunnings was $62. and they don't sell the replacement 60t blade that comes with the machine in the Ozito (cheap) brand.

    I noticed you can get the irwin ones on ebay for around $50 all up going of past sales

    Attention Star,
    "trim up on the guillotine" is an old expression used by Henry the Eight when he sent his wives to the hairdresser to tidy up loose ends.

    I recently bought a Ozito SCMS. The blade size is 254mm and it cost $230. I've found this to be a great little unit. I bought it for a small renovation that I'm doing and it has served me well. I bought it as it can cut a 140mm wide panel board. It has a 60T blade and 1600watts. I've done several hundered cuts with it and its great. It did need some fine adjustment out of the box. Thumbs up Ozito. I'm happy.

    I bought an Ozito compound mitre saw for my son in law many years ago. He's not known for looking after anything and the saw a couple of years ago had been left out in the weather, the blade was so blunt that it had a tough time cutting a pine stud. to make the saw useable again, I bought a thin kerf 40 tooth Diablo blade from Bunnings, knowing it would be well and truly abused. The Ozito and new blade was used to build a workshop, 30 metres x 15 with 4 odd metre ceiling height. I couldn't believe the accuracy and quality of the cut with the cheap blade. The little Ozito cut almost everything including trimming the exterior weatherboards to length and was still going strong at the end of the build.
