Looks like a good deal. Separately the items are
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-36v-2-x-18v-210mm-slid… $299
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-2-x-4-0ah-batterie… $100
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-mitre-saw-stand_p6290176 $109
So an extra $50 for $209 value ( saw stand doesn't look exactly the same though).
Track down Robert Bunnings and make them supply you!
It's weird, website says not sold at this store for Cockburn, Powerpass app says in stock at Cockburn.
Randomly picked few other sites in app, and saying in stock at Osy Park, Balcatta, Wangara, Homebase Suby and East Vic Park.
What suburb are you looking for?
(Actually, just check nrby, seems to be pulling the right data - maybe not, says 5 at Bibra Lake, PP app says none)
Sounds like a cruel suburb
I quite like pxc stuff and have quite a few tools, but surely a table saw is something you're better off plugging into the wall?
The portability to move it around easier than a bigger corded saw can be very useful.
All the cool kids use batteries these days.
These SCMSs are for cross cuts or angle cuts. Carpenters use these saws all the time (but more likely to be Makita etc).
I have a 240V Ozito one I got second hand for $50 and its sits on a $20 table I bought from the same vendor.
For long cuts you generally use a table saw or track saw.
This one is 36v.. suppose it is quite strong. I have AEG stuff. It the 18v saw is $650 and smaller blade.. saw stand is $300 on its own so for that price I'd happily get this kit
No question about performance but you'll soon find anything less than 10in for a mitre saw is very limiting.
Yes less than 10in not good.
Does it cut straight?
What no kinkyness?
I've got one - and let's just say you get what you pay for. It's not a tool designed for furniture or anything where precision matters, but it'll get you over the line for small home outdoor jobs such as decking and yes, the size of the blade is somewhat limiting. Don't expect Festool quality and you won't be disappointed, but if you require our expect trade precision then go spend $1,500 on a proper festool mitre saw.
Dunno. Can calibrate it. I've used an al cheapo ozito electric in the past and it was fine once calibrated. Same for all saws I imagine. The reviews for the smaller 18v version seem pretty good
I could never get my cheapo Ozito to calibrate, it's always slightly off. It goes alright though, I use it to cut hardwood framing timber. It cuts through no problem with a good blade.
Me too … there's too much lateral free play.
In the end i figured out i could use a jarrah block butted up to the blade line to act as a guide. Lean into the block and drop.
Had a brief go of a mate's big ass AEG that just felt rock solid in comparison.
If you've got the budget just go for the big boys. If you've just got odd jobs or tolerance is not a huge issue then this will be fine.
I need to cut down a door. Would I be right that a circular saw woould be a better tool than one of these?
Yes.
Or an electric planer.
Thanks OP
Will this cut through a bit of 90x45 in one swing? Is the blade big enough?
I guess so.. this blade should cut 65mm deep apparently. Also with slide it should do about 300mm
Thanks OP, Bought it, now what…
Maybe start a construction company to build new homes.
Probably do as good as a job as porter davis builders
Does his company go into liquidation before or after buying?
Don't matter, he can just start a new company!
Hahaha… Yup
I tried to order one, once via PayPal, again by credit card…both immediately cancelled. Any ideas?
Try harder? 😂
Maybe change store?
the stand looks exactly like the aldi one from earlier this year
Is this thing brushless?
I use mostly Ozito Pxc stuff, but I have a better quality mitre saw. When using this type of saw, accuracy and clean cuts are critical, otherwise you would just use a circular saw.
A cheap mitre saw is a waste of money in my view.
I was gonna grab one just for cutting studs for framing up a shed. No power nearby hence looking to go cordless.
Sounds like an 18v circular saw might work just as well. How do you keep your circular saw square?
speed square is quickest cheap option for framing work
So you just hold the speed square with one hand and use it as a guide for your circ saw?
@omghi2u: Thats basically it, the thick edge of the square will lock against the long edge of the timber your cutting. You can also screw the square to the piece the first few times to be sure but it shouldnt be necessary most of the time
eg

@mauricem: Cheers. Wasn’t aware of this trick. I think I’ll grab pick up a 18v circ saw for this job then
@omghi2u: It's very common way of cutting framing, maybe more so in US than here. BTW I meant to say clamp the square to the workpiece not screw it. Obviously screwing would work but clamping is equally effective and a lot quicker.
This tool would be fine for that job, but you could also buy a really long extension cord (assuming you aren't on the farm).
For me though the price is alot for a budget tool and I'd want more use out of it.
To get straight cuts on a circular saw I obviously follow a pencil line but will also cut on a long bench with a square / straight edge that I can use as a reference. I make sure the long edge of the timber is square to the bench, keep the line in the groove and the saw base visually square with the edge of the bench as I push the saw through.
If cutting something wide I use clamps and a guide.
I think the quality of the cut will also depend on the quality of the blade. It's a new product so no real reviews.. only time will tell
Would this be the right tool to cut laminate floor boards to length?
Yeah it will be suitable but as people are saying, it might not give an accurate cut. Depends how picky/unlucky you are. Can always return it if it doesn't perform
Seems to be unavailable in Perth.
