    You will pick one up on the cheap in any builders providers.

    Also look in Argos too.

    I bought a Lidl/Parkside sliding cross cut mitre saw a few months back for 60 euro,

    Absolutely fantastic bit of kit,and more akin to a big brand 200+ euro model.

    +1 on the Parkside one (although thought I paid nearer to the ton for it!) - have it three years now and its done a lot of work and still going strong.. only problem is you never really know when they might be there again....

    I have the Aldi version that I picked up on adverts.ie and its pretty good as well. The only thing with these is that the stock blade isn't the best but that can be easily swapped out for a better one.

    Keep an eye out in Bnq .... they have a green saw made by a company called evolution that occasionally drops down to 100euro... usual price is like 160 but if you can find it cheaper elsewhere they knock 10% off the lower price so shop around...

    I myself am a carpenter and have used DeWalt for years but grabbed this saw as I need something light and portable and this saw was perfect for me... another plus for some people is the fact it can cut steel, wood, plastic and a few other bits although this will make the blades blunter faster.... the saw does give a lovely cut from standard though... I can upload pics if you want to see the quality of cut.

    Hope this helps,
    Steven.

    The one slppwer is referring to is the evoloution fury 3. I have one myself and would recommend it.Just make sure you get the XL one. The blade on the smaller one is pretty small but might be adequate for your needs but I would say go for the larger one.

    And yes, get it in a sale. Woodies or B&Q both sell it
