Need help - to many options. Trying to find my first mitre saw that will cut up to about 270-280mm. I've seen the Dewalt 707 - seems good, but I really could do with saving a few pounds as i've just bought my first home - needs loads of work...aarrgh!

Seen many and got a few opinions. Don't want to buy a Chinese cheapy becouse I want some consistency and accuracy - will I get this from the Ryobi model - which is about 100 notes less than dewalt, cuts up to 305mm.......and comes with a laser - ooooohhhhhh!

Ryobi are a decant make of tools for diy use.

Dewalt are more for professional use. The laser is a bit of a gimmick, but I am sure it will be up to the job!

Ryobi are an half decent make and it should give you years of service!

How much can you get the ryobi one for, then we can see if we can find anything better or a better price?

i love ryobi stuff the quality is excelent

when i went for my new slider it was a toss up between the dewalt 712 makita 1013 [or may have been the 1014]
the bosch or the ryobi

i only ruled out the ryobi because of my personal rating for ryobi stuff in general is light to medium trade and my expected use use was heavy trade i chose the dewalt becauseof the rave reveiws and havent looked back

i have loads of ryobi stuff as my back up gear and i am very impressed with it at around half the price for around 80% of the quality you cant go wrong


you will hear people with problems with dewalt bosch makita ect but how often do you hear reports back about ryobi

RYOBI 10" SLIDING MITRE SAW EMS2026SCL 240V £169.95 from ebay shop 'toolsave' - see link below

I am also after the 6 pc, 18V Ryobi set as well - retails from same ebay shop for £259.95 (drill, jigsaw, circular/skills saw - these are the basic tools I really need - corner sander, angle drill, wet and dry vac - these are bonus tools as far as I am concerned for a little extra cash). I am sold on this set in terms of value for money and I have seen the build quaitiy of all the tools in the sheds (B&Q etc..) and heard great reviews for Ryobi hand tools in general.

I just have not seen the mitre saw in the flesh so can't check out quality of the fence, stops, how sturdy it is etc.. toolsave will do me a deal on delivery if i by both from same place - i havent seen either Ryobi 6 pc set or 10" mitre saw cheaper any where else.

These are both out of my budget and probably overkill for what I need. But I have seen the Bosch GCM 10S Mitre Saw -

This is a liitle more than the Dewalt DW 707 -

But if I can get the Ryobi 10" for around £100 pound less it sounds attractive as really need to stretch budget out. It will be for medium use around the home - but have a rebuild of garage project in the spring. I do want decent accuracy and will pay a little more for it if I hear the Ryobi doesnt give this???

I can't find a better price than that anywhere, looks like a bargain

Well im no expert on mitre saws but what about this one?
