I am guessing a price match for Aldi or similar so likely only temporary but 40% off is pretty good.
I have this saw any quality is pretty good for its normal price point so this is a great deal.

Too right! Lots on my shopping list but trying to wait until reductions such as this before buying :)
They are like Pokémon or something “collect them all”…
How much is the NEEDED battery and charger?
All depends what job you NEED to perform or expect it to do. If you only NEED it to cut a few small strips of pine molding then the cheapest Battery & Charger kit at $49 (https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-power-x-change-18v-li-ion-…) will do the trick however if you NEED to cut through 40mm hardwood all day long then you should look into the 4Ah kit at $99: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-power-x-change-18v-4-0ah-l… plus buy a few extra 4Ah batteries so you can swap them out for an uninterrupted session.
The point of these one-battery-multi-tool systems is to spread the cost of the Battery & Charger across the numerous tools you've collected so although the cost needs to be considered up front it really doesn't make a lot of difference if you're planning on buying several tools as the cost then becomes minimal 'per tool'. If you're looking to only buy this saw and nothing else then I recommend you look at buying a mains powered version… unless of course you need to use it away from mains power and in that case you'll probably be looking at needing more tools in the range anyway.
Showing on the web as $99 in Sydney. Are others seeing the low price online, or is just in store signage?
Online, as per this screenshot only about 60 seconds ago: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/67715/54283/ozito_saw.…
Thanks. It is now showing as $59 at my local Bunnings as well.
Just refreshed my screen and it's now back up to $99 :( Bugger!
Hmm, looks like it might have gone back up, if so that was pretty short lived. Price hipster still showing it at $59. Maybe it was just a price error.
Decent deal if it's true.
I picked up the kit with battery a little while back for $99 (for some reason special price at that particular store). $60 seems decent if you already have the battery like back during that 4Ah deal.It's gotten the job done the times I've used it - from the perspective of someone who otherwise would have to try using a small Ozito table saw or multi-tool or handsaw.
"Complete bevel cuts up to an angle of 45° or attach the included rip fence to make quick work of cutting through long material."
Never knew saws had this feature - only ever thought they cut 90°
There is a mitre/tilt adjust on the guide plate.
I bought one of these saws and I had an issue where it would not straight at all. Forget trying to cut anything but pine as it even struggled with thin laminated panels. Unless you are using on rather thin and soft timber I would recommend a corded Makita or alike and you will be sailing.
I seriously do not understand why people neg this comment. I have checked the demo unit in store and right away I got an impression that it is even worse than the closest competitor e.g. Ryobi
I have used both and the Ryobi didn't strike me as any better. If you want to compare it to other saws 2-3 times the cost, of course it wouldn't be the same quality, the question is, is it good enough for it's planned use? If so, with a 5yr warranty and half to a third of the cost it is much better value.
.. plus the instant over-the-counter replacement with Ozito gear versus having to wait for it to be sent off with other brands.
Ryobi make brushless now, so are quality.
In fact, their brushless impact driver is more powerful than any pro brand (DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, etc) - check the specs
Easily fixed with a decent blade. Consider that this will add to the cost.
I doubt he is referring to the blade. I have the ozito 18v grinder and it doesn't have much power and it only useful on thin metal as it keeps cutting out
Pretty sure they say it's only meant for grinding not cutting, if you are after 240v performance, stick with 240v or 18v will disappoint. Having said that, I have found taking it steady with a thin blade cuts ok but certainly not quickly.
Not sure what you were trying to do but I was able to cut down and remove a tv antenna pole as well as some pretty think threaded rod.
Still I would like to try the brushless version in the future. Videos in youtube show that it's quite a beast
Yes referring to the whole unit. I'm no master craftsman but using the guide and even clamping down a timber guide it just won't cut straight and the power was just weak. Got a refund and got the basic corded Makita and it's like cutting through butter. I used this to make a 2.4m study desk which meant I needed a number of clean cuts.
Yeh, probably not really suitable for a project like that, along with most cordless saws, expert tip is to get bunnings (or wherever you get it from) to cut up the timber for you, their big panel saws can do it better than you can freehand and they generally don't charge to do it.
If only the whole range was discounted by this much.
