Digmixfill Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 I've taken a punt on the Aldi one. I'll post observations when/if it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digmixfill Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 After a little UPS snafu the saw and stand have arrived. The saw is a rebadged Scheppach HM80MP. Comes with a 40 TPI multi material blade installed. Out of the box the bevel adjust lock stops required adjustment and the laser alignment required adjusting. The dual slides for the saw feel nice and smooth, no free play in them. I've done a few test cuts and it seems good enough for what I need it to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
