Good deal, instock at most bunnings. The skin alone is $299. Then + stand + two batteries.
Fantastic deal, with the warranty it’s a no brainer for hobbyists, even for professionals the whole ozito range really presents a good deal.
I think most people who use mitre saws professionally prefer higher quality ones that produce consistent, accurate cuts.
There are different grades of cuts. I put the lower-quality material (scrap/firewood) through the Ozito, and the higher-quality ones through my Dewalt. I need a new Ozito since I can't remove the blade from the last one; it has a stripped allen bolt that won't budge. I've got a lot of Craftright 210mm blades.
Agreed. I did a whole heap of research on mitre saws before i took the plunge (cut) and bought one
I am not above buying Ozito if the value is compelling (though I'll tell you now that my Ozito made Gerni pressure washer is absolute junk, top of the line model allegedly)People buy a mitre saw to make perfectly square and angled cuts. Many of the cheaper mitre saws do not do this, especially straight out of the box. A hobbyist will have troubles tuning/aligning the saw to make this happen.
If you're rough framing and need to cut wood, id recommend using a cordless circular saw and a speed square
I personally bought the Makita corded LS1018L. 10/10. Only complaints are it spits out lots of dust (all mitre saws do) and the forks slide back a long way, killing bench space (this is solved if you go up in cost range). If you wanted to spend $1k, get the Bosch. If you want the best of the best, get Festool
I bought from Total Tools when they did their spend and save rebate deal, which they do quarterly these days (probably more often with the coming retail recession)
Been waiting for deal on circular saw cordless from ages
Does it actually cut square? My previous experience with ozito saws had not been great. They had way to much play in the mechanisms.
Answered my own question from the previous deal. Tldr: no, you get what you pay for.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/790858This. I've also got the old basic ozito mitre saw and unless you 'dial in' your plunge, you're up for sloppy cuts. Fine for rough cuts but frustrating when you need it right.
This could be a tempting upgrade if they've improved the free play.
I would concur with that, tried a few Ozito equipment, bandsaw, drillpress etc, had to return them after the first trial.
I was looking at this mitre saw as an investment for home decking, fence repair, elevated garden beds and pergola in the future. Is the precision & consistency good enough for those jobs?
My father in-law could do all that with a chainsaw.
It depends on what you are happy with. I don't have this saw but any budget sliding is going to be similar, the cut will change angle as you progress due to flex in all the joins and side sleeves, meaning you don't get consistent results so there is no set up that fixes it. The tasks you describe won't suffer too much as your end cuts are going to be far from crucial. It won't look perfect though, especially on wider sleepers where you use the slide. Personally, I went through a ryobi compound saw, to a ryobi slide saw, then saw the light and bought a $1100ish dollar 300mm makita slide with stand (be more like 1400 now on sale). For me, worth every cent even for the basic jobs. I guess all I'm trying to help with is that there doesn't seem to be low cost option for a good slide saw, and a next gen version will be just as frustrating even if it looks the goods. You could always return it as not fit for purpose i suppose.
Yes. Easily. I've got an ozito mitre saw and if you spend some time to dial it in you can do finish carpentry and furniture. Outdoor stuff no worries. As pointed out, all that you could probably manage with a chainsaw, and certainly a circular saw.
No. No no pls.
Fence and garden would be alright. Not the decking. That requires literally 1-2 mm margin cut. Ozito isn’t precise enough to do that. If I had those jobs lined up, I would look for something good.I went from an Ozito sliding mitre saw to an AEG after i got tired of the Ozito.
As others have said the Ozito saw would be fine for the garden stuff but if you need accuracy look elsewhere.I really like the shadow line instead of a laser that the AEG has.
Boy, Ozito can be so hit and miss with their stuff that I'd be cautious about buying in to this.
I picked up one of their table saws a couple weeks back as it was only $200 and I figured what the hell? Ended up returning it as it was just unsafe - the riving knife was misaligned with no way to adjust it, so the saw could only be used with it removed. Ended up getting a Dewalt 7485 for four times the price instead ([with a free stand], I'm in love with it. Can't believe I've gone this long without owning a table saw).
But then, I have an Ozito SDS drill and that thing works brilliantly - I've used it to drill through bricks that are chonkers with quartz and fitted a spike bit to use as a mini-jack to break through concrete slabs. On the other hand, I got given one of the cordless angle grinders and that thing sucksss!
I here you about the cheaper cordless angle grinders .. I put in to oh that cute box of tools . But I do break it out for a light quick job
I have that same ozito SDS, what a beast
do you have a link for the SDS?
SDS drill, impact driver, hedger and whipper snipper..cant fault them.
P.S..Solar installers rocked up with an Ozito SDS. All his other gear was Milwaulke.
"Ozito can be so hit and miss with their stuff …"
When buying from Bunnings (only seller?) it is a matter of taking it back for a refund or a new one. Guarantee +++ … no questions asked … :-]
My experience with Ozito has been excellent.
Wouldn't choose them for a business, for a professional shop (where income tax pays for all tools and expenses), but utterly excellent for home use (where I pay with my money).'it is a matter of taking it back for a refund or a new one. Guarantee +++ … no questions asked … :-]'
yeah, I was surprised how quick they were to offer the refund on the Ozito table saw. They even refunded the 60 tooth blade I bought and used along with it no questions asked. I was expecting them to balk over that.
If you have a business, you still pay for your tools. Just a bit less.
For the appropriate business, tools can be fully claimed as a deductible item.
Yes you "pay" at the front desk but those are funds that will be taken by ATO after all.No, a registered Über driver "business" cannot … but OK for sunglasses …
Bunnings has a price cap for easy returns. $350 or so requires repairs that take 2+ months
With inflation these days, that's capturing more and more tools.
Had lots of grief with a Gerni 7300 (owned and made by Ozito) which has NOT been a straight swap
Wouldn't touch this for serious work. Got an AEG for a similar price a while back and that was absolutely shocking. This would be good for reducing boards for firewood I suppose.
Normal price?
