The 1600W 210mm (8-1/4″) Compound Mitre Saw is an ideal power tool for the home hero or renovator, the mitre saw allows a variety of cuts to be made including straight, mitre, bevel, and compound.

A powerful 1600W motor provides smooth and powerful cuts. Positive mitre table stops enable quick and simple adjustment whilst bevel adjustment up to 45° increases versatility and allows a complete range of bevel and compound mitre cuts.

Powerful 1600W motor
Positive mitre table stops
Bevel cuts 0° to 45°
D-Handle design
Material clamp and Support Bars

I have this saw and it is great for the DIYer but think about the size of timber you need to cut before buying this as it will not cut larger wood like 90 x 90 posts.

    Can I cut stone if I change blade?

    • onetwothreefour on 29/03/2019 - 08:34

      Never tried cutting anything else other than wood and some aluminum flyscreen but I'm guessing it won't be powerful enough.

    • foonman on 29/03/2019 - 09:36

      Not sure if the speed would be optimal. I think the similarly sized cut-off saws for metal run at a lower (half?) speed. I don't know if it might be similar for cutting stone. You'd want to check the cutting disc to see what speed its rated for.

    • apsilon on 29/03/2019 - 10:17

      You'd want a metal cut off saw fitted with a masonry blade for that. Be aware though they create a cloud of dust with each cut. Might be OK for one or two cuts but your neighbours will hate you, especially if they have the washing out. You really want a proper concrete saw with water spray for that sort of thing.

      It's best to saw stone using a wet cut.

    • DarwinBoy on 29/03/2019 - 11:07

    I have similar model with the 210mm cutting limit and also a larger unit. my suggestion is get a 254mm compound saw. The motor will be more powerful and it can cut larger pieces of timber.

    • RevBargain on 29/03/2019 - 09:17

      254mm with a new blade is my recommendation. Excellent saw

      • resisting the urge on 29/03/2019 - 14:32

        And MUCH quieter.

        • Edsanwong on 30/03/2019 - 08:51

          Is changing with a better blade make it quieter?

    • Ulysses31 on 29/03/2019 - 20:13

      I've got two 254's. They're great. And they cost 10x this.

      What one are you referring to, suitable to compare with this mad bargain?

  • pax on 29/03/2019 - 09:12

    This or the Aldi special (https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-wed-3-a…)?

    Apart from the stand (and 100w of difference), the Aldi one has the laser guide.

    Will the Ozito be more reliable?

    I currently have a circular saw strapped to a Triton Workcentre, but want to be able to cut larger, and more irregular, pieces of wood.

    • pdtmathieson on 29/03/2019 - 09:14
      +5

      The laser guide is a nice feature but mine broke about five years ago and I have been happily using the saw since. I've found the best way to judge the cut is to put the blade down on the wood, I always found the laser very slightly imprecise.

      I would take the Ozito for the fact that a replacement will always be available.

      • jalwa on 29/03/2019 - 20:57

        I do the same with my ozito. Laser can't estimate blade width.

          +3

          The difference is in 18mths time when you are half way through a job and it breaks, with Bunnings, take it back and swap straight over for a new one and keep going. With ALDI their stock is long gone so you can only get a refund.

    • PKM on 29/03/2019 - 10:00

      I've recently been stung buying Aldi. I bought 4 ceiling fans and 3 had warranty issues. As instructed in the manual, I contacted the importer and registered the problems on their warranty web site. After a month got tired of waiting and rang them. They took down my details and said they'd be back to me. Two months later I contacted Aldi customer service. Said they'd get back to me. That was two months ago …

      • team teri on 29/03/2019 - 12:10

        Take it to any shop, bring warranty card and proof of purchase. Tell your story to a manager and you most likely you'll walk away with a refund.

        • PKM on 29/03/2019 - 19:33

          Might have to do that. Trouble is I need ceiling fans and these were DC motors at a reasonable price.

    • Ulysses31 on 29/03/2019 - 20:14

      The laser can be garbage, even on an expensive one. It's just a rough visual line.

    I dont think there is any cheap mitre saw out there that can cut 90x90 posts. Even $300 -$400 ones were struggling when I looked at that last time.

    • onetwothreefour on 29/03/2019 - 09:38
      +1

      What about the 254mm compound saw? I have used the above one before and just twisted the posts around and made a second cut.

      • pdtmathieson on 29/03/2019 - 09:43

        Any mitre saw with a slide increases your flexibility with cutting through larger things, but you are right that they all seem to be more expensive.

      • AssociatedSharp @ Bunnings Warehouse on 29/03/2019 - 10:09

        From memory, 254mm ones can’t cut 90x90 either. I think there was only one makita with 254mm blade claiming max cutting depth of 90cm.

        • Ulysses31 on 29/03/2019 - 20:17

          All day long.

          It's the mitre that separates them. Sometimes deeper on one side, and/or the mitre only falls one side.

          I have the makita, and AEG.

          Makita LS1018L:
          Blade diameter: 260mm
          Arbor size: 25.4mm
          Cutting capacity:
          45°: 91 x 220mm
          90°: 91 x 310mm

          AEG PS254SB:
          Blade diameter 254 mm
          Arbor size: 30 mm
          Cutting capacity:
          45°: 90 x 200 mm
          90°: 90 x 305 mm

    • RubenM on 29/03/2019 - 09:45

      Doesn't have to do with price but with the diameter, as 123 pointed out. That's if you're talking about pine (which a 90x90 would almost always be).
      My Ozito mitre saw can cut them from memory.

      Not joking. When I built my pergola I wasn't going to spend $$$ on an electric one for 6 posts…

  • RubenM on 29/03/2019 - 09:42

    Definitely a good price, but if you're doing any reasonable size project, do yourself a favour and get a 254mm SLIDING mitre saw, you'll thank yourself later.

    Nearly four times the price though.

    • yoba on 29/03/2019 - 09:59

      what are the limitations of the posted one comparing to the sliding one?

      • pdtmathieson on 29/03/2019 - 10:02
        +2

        With the sliding one, you can cut to the maximum depth all the way through, where for a static saw the depth only applies to the point where the blade reaches the lowest point. From that lowest point with the sliding saw, you can go back and forth to cut that level all the way through, and then rotate the wood to hopefully get all the way through.

        • yoba on 29/03/2019 - 10:05

          so the benefits kick in after wood reaches certain thickness? I'd like to DIY a deck, wondering if a cheaper one would be sufficient to cut standard decking wood planks.

          • pdtmathieson on 29/03/2019 - 10:09
            +1

            @yoba: Yeah most likely should be enough. The slide is always easier, but for what you want I imagine it would be sufficient.

          • RubenM on 29/03/2019 - 10:09

            @yoba: This one will probably cut the planks fine, but if you also want to cut bearers and joists, get yourself the other one.

            I build a massive 70m2 deck (among other things) using my saw.

          • onetwothreefour on 29/03/2019 - 10:14

            @yoba: I have built a deck using this and it will cut 90mm boards no problem, if you are using bigger boards around 140mm you can still use this one but you will need to tilt the board up when cutting but that is not recommended and can be dangerous for beginners.

            @yoba: I did a house full of skirting boards and a larger Ryobi did the job very well. Would highly recommend for larger projects. More expensive, but sold for maybe 2/3 of price afterwards. Had a great warranty too from memory. Makes the job much easier than a smaller fixed blade.

  • sli on 29/03/2019 - 11:18

    I had one of these half a year ago. Used it for skirting boards. It worked, but after a bit of use the safety catcher began getting caught in the blade. I also found the accuracy woeful for accurate cuts. Ended up bringing it back and getting a refund - the toolshop guy wasn't surprised, he said this model always has the same issue. Would recommend spending a little extra and getting a better brand.

    Agree with the comments about buying a larger model if you plan on using this a bit.
    Bought one of these a while back and whilst it did the immediate project, you can pretty easily hit the cutting size limit.
    If I had my time again I would've bought a sliding one.

  • hopper on 29/03/2019 - 15:10

    helped in doing my decking at home. recommend.

  • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2019 - 19:25

    It barely cuts 90 from the fence. I've had a couple of 8 inch mitre saws and always had to flip for that last 5mm.

    Maybe the quarter inch makes a difference but I wouldn't hold my breath. I'd say a 8 inch non sliding class is effective up to 70x70.

  • sealjack on 29/03/2019 - 23:31
