    I have this saw. Very good for home use. Don't have the stand but TBH for home use just a pain as you need more room to store it.

    • How thick / tall a piece of timber can it cut? I can see 210mm is the saw diameter but not sure what this means for cutting depth

      • +1

        65 x 305mm. So it won't cut a 90x90 post unfortunately

        • +7

          It will. Just not in a single pass.

      • +3

        Get a 254mm if you can. 210 gives you a fair bit of limitation.

  • WOW… I nearly pulled trigger on this a few days ago… nice find, thank you!

  • what is the longest depth that these mitre can cut?

  • +11
  • Great find.
    Anyone know the differences between the 1600w and 1800w sliding mitre saws (besides the obvious). What do you get on the 1800w for an extra $90?

    • +1

      If you're referring to this 1800w then I'm also struggling to see much difference between them. On the plus side you get more power, so that means you can cut more easily through dense material or thicker planks. On the minus side you don't get the included table, but I do wonder how sturdy and/or stable it is and whether you'd just end up not using it in time.

    • +3

      Single bevel (left) on the 1600w vs Double Bevel on the 1800w

      • Thank you. That was buried in the detail. :)

      • +1

        Is the 1800W + double bevel worth extra $50 vs. this unit? Is 200W that much of difference, and is double bevel useful compared to the stand?

  • If you were to buy one only this saw or a circular saw?

    • +4

      Circular saw can do everything just less accuracy

    • +10

      Really depends on what you need to cut and how good you are with the circular saw.
      Circular saw obviously far more portable, can cut in situ and get into tighter spots. Can also be used to rip longer pieces with a track. So it's far more versatile.

      Sliding mitre saw far more precise and reliable for making repeated cross cuts.

      eg: Cutting mutliple deck boards to size before installing then the mitre saw is a no brainer. But if you are trimming some framework, in situ, up a ladder and the cut doesn't have to be too precise then circular saw is would be the better choice.

      At the end of the day they are different tools for different jobs. But if you could only get one then you can def do more with the circular saw if you had to.

      • Thanks guys for the info's.

        Yeah what you guys said is what I was thinking too. I definitely won't be cutting deck. Only be using to cut a few pieces of wood and plywood to size.

    • -1

      Get both

    • Circular saw if you only can get one. A mitre saw is nice for repeated precise cross cuts, or angled cuts, but I managed to redo my whole house's hardwood floor and skirtng boards with just a circular saw and a speed square. Circular saw can rip boards which the mitre cannot. For anything more precise, may be worth getting a tracksaw - but way more expensive.

  • +2

    Bought this a while back. If you don't already have one I'd recommend buying an angle finder too as the "incremental stops" are off a couple of degrees. This was the case on mine at least.

    • I was about to ask how accurate the cuts are. Because I'm tossing up between getting something cheap (like this) or waiting for tax time and getting the AEG or Dewalt sliding saws ($600ish).

      • +2

        If you really need accuracy, say for trims etc don't buy this saw. Get a decent saw that you can calibrate well. If you are just getting it for occasional diy then it will probably do the job on small timber where accuracy isn't essential. I recently spent 600ish on a makita and it was great out of the box but still needed minor calibration (there are heaps of vids on youtube) and a new blade 60-80T etc, it was then super accurate and cut very cleanly for trims. Im a big believer of buying good quality tools, they are just better. Ive got a lot of tools and never regretted buying good quality, cant say the same about the opposite.

  • +1

    If you are in a hurry for these i highly recommend it
    However if you can wait, i'd recommend getting one of the aldi one's, usually same or close price, but much better quality. They usually pop up for sale at aldi atleast once i year.

  • Is this corded or battery operated?

    • +1

      Corded. That's what the 1600w means. 🙂
      If it was battery powered it would say something like 18v or 36v.

      • I’ll pass then

        • +1

          Probably a good idea I reckon.

          • @Muzeeb: Why do you think that?

            • +21

              @MuddyClear: It was my rude way of suggesting that if you can't identify if this tool is battery or mains operated then you probably shouldn't be operating such a dangerous device.

    • +3

      Google how to google.

  • So you can't buy the stand on it's own?

  • There is a few tools coming up in an Aldi catalogue, may be pre-empting.

    Bandsaw appears to already have been discounted, which looks a pretty good price - I will probably get one. https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-200mm-250w-bandsaw-bsw-258…

    • Does anyone have any idea what the non-discounted price is?

  • +1

    Bought this 3 weeks ago to work on my deck balustrades and it cuts through hardwood with no issues. Laser alignment does seem a bit off though. Works very well for diy

  • Was looking for similar combo like the Ryobi RMS254DB-K I/N: 0087278 2000W MITRE SAW AND STAND COMBO (@399), can't find it anywhere.
    But this is less than 1/2 price and can workaround 90x90 which isn't going to be a big problem for me… really tempting.

  • Use the ShopBack Home swap card, and get an additional 2.5% on Bunnings gift cards. While not great, every little bit helps…

  • If you are after perfect mitres these ozito saws won't deliver unless you lock it down and square it up in one position and create your own fence with perfect 45s. I bought the 10" sliding saw to make picture frames and it was a nightmare.

  • sigh purchased.

  • Is this a permanent price drop or a sale? Would like to buy one but I'm waiting for some Flybuys Bunnings gift cards to arrive in the mail.

    • Promotional item. Probably just clearing stock.

      • Yep Promo. This saw is different to the other 8" ones Ozito sell and is only sold in this kit with the stand. Think it was $199 last year, $249 this year

        • Thanks for the info. Might hold off anyway as I don't need one urgently and I've heard good things about the Aldi one.

      • Thank you.

  • Which saw stand is better - the OZITO one or the ALDI Ferrex - have one which is still unopened

  • I already have a circular saw. Is this compound saw suitable and would it make the following jobs quicker/easier? To do list: workbench, garage shelving, replacing fence palings.

    • Anything that requires simple repeated cuts - this saw will make life easier.

  • Man I really need to lay off ozbargain, didn’t need it but bought it anyway

    • me too. another $149 gone. I'm sure I will use it, but I certainly didn't NEED it!

  • Just login to say it's a great beginner's saw - used it for everything inside and outside the house - you can use it to build some crude structure like garden beds, planter boxes or simple furniture but if you want to actually do proper carpentry you'll need a proper one. After a year's use I upgraded to a Makita however I still keep this one in the shed in case I need to cut some timber for the backyard.
