The reason this is the best budget mitre saw in the UK is that the overall build quality and performance are both much better than you’d expect for the low price. Overall, this mitre saw is very robust. In particular it clamps securely into place so you can cut with confidence. The 24-tooth TCT blade performs very well on even thicker wood.
Serious DIYers might be frustrated with the pre-set mitre options, but they aren’t the target market for this product. Crafters, DIY beginners and occasional DIYers will probably be very happy to have a simple option for changing the mitre.
The fact that this mitre saw is cordless means that you have the flexibility to use it anywhere. Battery life will depend partly on what battery you buy and partly on what work you are doing. In general, however, Ryobi batteries are high-quality as well as decently priced.
You’ll get the best value for money if you have other Ryobi tools and can share the battery. This can also be helpful for cutting down on the need for storage space. Even if you don’t, the mitre saw is still an economical buy.
