"I have used this saw day in day out and it never fails to impress!
The finish is perfect and accurate and when used with a dust extraction unit there is literally no dust. This saw out performs other makes by far and is worth the extra money. It's simply perfect."

"If you work on site and have to use a circular saw, you might be familiar with such nonsense as screwing a straight edge 46mm away from your cutting line as a guide. With this guide rail, all of that is taken away, allowing for much more accurate and quick cutting."
- Mr Oliver Harkness

"I bought this saw on the basis of excellent reviews and to upgrade my makitta circular. It is an excellent a saw for cutting large panels worktop etc. However it two things should be noted. It is near impossible to do a straight cut by eye due to the difficulty to see the blade. One it comes with no parallel fence which you will need for things like ripping decking as the guide rails are too wide. I purchased the rail but the depth it protruded is only about 10mm of which some of this is bevelled making it difficult to keep the cut straight particularly because the deck was also bevelled. An improved parallel guide needs to be developed and a clear plastic front to see through to the blade would be an advantage. "
