      I've had this for about 4 years , works very well for the price……I've pushed it through hundreds and hundreds of cuts of both softwood and hard. The angle selector isn't the smoothest, but once in please it provides accurate and repeatable cuts. Great for around the house jobs such as decking,Framing, skirting boards, flooring etc. I'd happily buy it again if mine were to fail.

        Agreed, I bought one to make a few cuts at the old house and it's been quite useful.

        That said, i wouldn't bother buying this one if you do a fair bit of work / diy. Just go ahead and get a slide compound one with the ~254mm? blades. I bought the small one and ended up having to replace it with a bigger unit when I wanted to cut some floorboards. They're around $180.

      I had and Ozito drop saw for years - worked a treat, then the cast section snapped mid cut on the rear and it was free to go wherever, nearly cutting my hand off!!!

      Great value but be careful!

      • tunzafun001 on 07/01/2017 - 15:45

        I had the same. The back cast guide broke off. A new aluminium rail fixed it, but keep an eye on it for cracks. The saw itself is good, but the cast…hmmm.

      I have used a few GMC tools, I found them slightly better than Ozito at the time a few years ago, however I think Ozito had lifted its game a little since

  • The Hobo on 07/01/2017 - 02:44

    Have this with the stand.

    Needs to be adjusted and set square - which can be done in about 20 minutes. Once that's done, it works well. Perfect for home use and those getting into woodworking etc.

    I've used it extensively for skirting boards, a deck and in the process of building a cubby and it hasn't missed a beat.

    The dust bag is useless though.

        Loosen bolts, put a set square 90 degrees with the base and blade. Tighten. I think it is in the manual.

          Yup, basically that.

          As well as set square against blade and the fence.

          20 minutes includes reading the manual and working it all out. Pretty straight forward.

    Ozito's are quick to be bagged out by the brand snobs… but a 3 year REPLACEMENT warranty is nothing to be sneezed at. For around the house semi pro's (everyone but carpenters who use it all day every day), Ozito's are perfectly fine. More than fine.

    I've got a few of Ozito's products now, including this sucker https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-1500w-sds-rotary-hammer-dr…
    My previous SDS Hammer was a Makita. The Ozito more than matches it, at a third of the price. With a quality 4 cut bit, this goes through concrete and reo like butter. Terrific bit of kit.

    My only suggestion with the above saw is to spend a little extra and get Ozito's Sliding Compound Mitre Saw instead. https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-1600w-254mm-slide-compound…. Yeah it's $120 extra, but the sliding action allows you to cut across wider bits of timber and also make lots of indent cuts when chiselling out a recessed section in the timber. Also a bigger blade and a little more power (for big bits of hardwood it'll come in handy). Such a versatile saw, and again a third less than the big names.

    • abc on 07/01/2017 - 10:45
      +1

      I know tradies who have Ozito as a "back up" kit. If it breaks they take it back to the nearest Bunnings and get it replaced.

      This is why GMC went bust :P

      • Jackson on 08/01/2017 - 01:25

          Suby I used the sliding Ozito to build a pergola and a cubby house. Nil issues.
          Bosch is $200 more… that's a lot of timber, or blades, or pretty much anything else in Bunnings you can buy ;).

        • subywagon on 07/01/2017 - 12:42

          @UFO: Thanks for your input. I've got a few ozito tools and honestly they have been pretty good.

          I have quite a few Ozito product including the SDSrotary hammer referred to above and find them good value for money.
          In terms of mitre saws, I have had the Bosch PCM1800SD for 3 years now and am quite happy with it, except for the normal issues of dust control. I now have it connectable to my shopvac and it is a bit better. It is a good machine.

          Whether you need the Bosch or the Ozito probably depends on your planned usage. If mainly to cut boards for decking etc, then the Ozito will be fine.

          Cant comment on the Ozito cut accuracy which becomes more important if you are planning to use it for smaller projects, eg furniture, pictures frames, etc.

          Good luck with your choice

    The staff at my local Bunnings appear to not like selling Ozito gear. Bunnings encourage you to pay for power tools at the tools counter rather than at the general checkouts. That appears to be so that the tools guys can talk you into buying Ryobi products.

    When i went to pay for a Ozito cordless drill the bloke told me he would never buy crap like that himself and he would only use Ryobi.

    The battery that came with the drill can be used with other Ozito gear, so i decided to check out their line trimmer. When i went into the aisle with the line trimmers a staff member asked me if he could help me.When i told him i was looking for an Ozito product he screwed his face up and said "Ozito!" in a very disapproving manner.

    My experience with modern day Ozito gear has all been positive and the 3 year replacement warranty can't be beat.

    • captobvious on 07/01/2017 - 11:11

          Yep… the stock blades are ok (yes even for hardwood), but do yourself a favour and get a replacement blade for your intended purpose. Massive difference. You can get ripping blades that cut fast through the hardest of wood and leave a rougher finish, or you can get fine blades for a slower cut but smoother finish.

          If you really did break the back-plate, you weren't using it right. Either wrong blade, wrong set up, or wrong technique.

          The stock blade will get through Jarrah no worries. Jarrah's not the hardest wood. Not by a long shot!

      • tunzafun001 on 07/01/2017 - 15:51

        It's not the blades that is the issue. It is the cast back guide. That is 3 people in this chat that have experience the back guide braking off. Same experience cutting Jarrah. The blade and the motor is magnificent. I would strongly advise re-enforcing the back guide, then it is a great little saw.

        • The Hobo on 09/01/2017 - 11:53

          How on earth did that break off? Should be very little force up against it - nowhere near enough to cause it to break.

      • UFO on 07/01/2017 - 12:55

        With the right blade, it'll cut metal no issues.

    • bargaino on 07/01/2017 - 12:12
      +1

      No doubt partly operator error, but when the teeth hit the aged wood, there was a great clunk, and the brittle cast alloy part snapped. A better blade, or clamping everything in place would have helped, but the saw lacks robustness. Not a problem for $59, but worth knowing.

      softer alloy with a max thickness of 4mm

      What alloy? A sodium or potassium-based one would be OK. Otherwise need a very different blade.

      Good for chopping up body parts

      Only if you cook them well first.

      • ChickenTalon on 07/01/2017 - 12:47

        • bargaino on 07/01/2017 - 13:40
