if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is
Seems a good deal. 430mm is a bit of overkill - there's gotta be some flex in the slides when fully extended.skronk said:Anyone advise on possible purchase. Seems too good to be true.
I bought one of these a few weeks back http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=101401&ts=46005&id=27291 and am very pleased with it. It does skirting and laminate fine - that's all I need it for. I specifically bought this one cause it's compact. I've screwed it to a sheet of mdf and it'll sit on a folding workbench just nicely.
I have an Einhell circular saw and that's a good tool. If you need the capacity to cut 430mm I'd be temped to say, go for it. I'd just recommend you think about the size of the tool, cause some of these saws are enormous.
Please let us know how you get on.

Yeah it's spot on. What I would say though is, when you move the base round to change the angle (eg 45°) you have to lock it in place with a knob. Now the thing is that there's a small amount of play before you lock it in place so there's the possibility that when you lock it up it might not be exactly at 45°. What I have found that works is that if you move the base to the right (so all the play would be to the left.... if you follow) and lock it up then it's bang on. Once you know this, it's nothing to do really.
You might need to adjust the adjustment bolt that fine tunes the 45° angle when the saw tilts over, but once set that's it.
I did look at some more expensive saws like a Dewalt for around £300 although it looked well made, it didn't even have a laser - I thought that was pretty poor for a machine that cost twice what the Rexon did.
What might be useful is if you can get a saw that will tilt to both sides and have a dual laser so you can see where the blade will cut from either side - not vital, but it would be nice to have.
Overall I'm very pleased with the Rexon, it's got a good cut capacity and is compact, light and accurate.

Erm.... you may be able to get it to go a few degrees passed 45° but as a rule that's about it. Why would you want to?
