      Lacks a bit of grunt for sure but I'd definitely recommend a new blade

      • skegger on 30/08/2024 - 08:41
        +1

        I chucked a new blade in and it's been fine with soft things like pine, ply, MDF etc., even a bit of messmate. I don't know if it makes much difference but I use the 4.0Ah batteries.

        • erasimos on 30/08/2024 - 10:25

          Yeah, there are 5 cell and 10 cell batteries of different amps and the 10 cell ones would have lower internal resistance. I don't think all the tools can take advantage of it though.

          The new range and the ultrapower batteries (which the never discount) use bigger cells which would also have lower resistance and promote that some tools will take advantage of it.
          I know that a five cell was pretty much useless in the baby brushless mower, so I forked out for the 5.2amp battery to see if I could get a bit more out of the mower. There wasn't much difference from the 3ah 10cell that it came with but it certainly lasted longer.

          Yeah, a good blade and this model cuts with a 4ah battery … but the f…ing blade safety cover jams …. every single time! like all things Ozito, there's something wrong!

        • Series4Episode10 on 30/08/2024 - 11:45

          Yup, there's youtubes explaining this, using a 2ah battery with this, you'd be cutting something like 3 ply, anything more would see the thing shut down because of low current.

        I put a brand new Full Boar blade on and it still did a better effort at burning through the wood rather than cut it.

          A Full Boar blade is probably not much better than the stock Ozito one.

            @jimboss: All comes down to opinion but I've got a few decades under my belt cutting wood and I stick with Full Boar blades so I politely disagree with your opinion.

            • jimboss on 30/08/2024 - 10:39

              @doobey1231: Fair enough, my comment is driven mostly from the link between Ozito and Full Boar, compared to other blade brands which are distinct and separate companies.

          Burning is not caused by the power tool … blame the blade … it's the thing in contact with the material! … jeezus!

            +1

            @Series4Episode10: You don't do much cutting I am guessing. The problem with the Ozito is the strength in the tool itself, blade can be steel of the gods, if the motor jams up after a couple pounds of pressure thats simply the tool and not the blade. Trust I have done this long enough to discern the difference.

              @doobey1231: My experience is different to yours … I hate this pathetic saw as the safety guide jams on everything ALL the time, but my statement stands! whichever post you're referring to!

              Sadly I had a set of Ozito rubbish to do some small things on weekends, boss supplied decent tools at work and when I could I used them at home … then I needed to do a little more … was unable to borrow the work tools at the time … whamo, the Ozito rubbish proved just how pathetic some of it can be!

              • doobey1231 on 30/08/2024 - 13:21

                @Series4Episode10: I am referring to the part where you said that the blade is the issue if the wood is smoking, which isn't true, a good blade will smoke if the motor doesn't have the torque to keep cutting through.

                • Series4Episode10 on 30/08/2024 - 13:25

                  @doobey1231: I have one, as much as I hate it … it cuts through things quickly enough, if your going to push too hard with an under powered saw, you need to adjust your technique, the thing I own cuts through close to 2" hardwood acacia (it's a local Acacia with very hard dark red wood) well enough without burning unless the blade is blunt! am using it to cut kindling, the blade safety cover jamming all the time caused me to hate it!

                  • doobey1231 on 30/08/2024 - 14:34

                    @Series4Episode10: I disagree, it doesn't cut through quickly enough and I know my technique is fine. Its really odd how you decide to criticise someone's abilities over the tool that has plenty of bad reviews on this page alone, not even taking into account other websites, you don't even know me, yet the tool is pretty well known to be shite. Weird path choice.

      This is the wrong type of saw for doing skirting, use a drop saw instead.

    • Series4Episode10 on 30/08/2024 - 13:22

      Compound Miter Saw, Ozito have a cheap one, it's slightly inaccurate, which is normal for something at that price point, the slide rods rust and benefit from a regular application of grease, those I know who have one are happy with it, plus they seem to last.

  • datscheap on 30/08/2024 - 08:49

    This is the only Ozito tool I regret buying. Would have been great if they did it in 18v x 2, bad sadly just a little weak

    • doobey1231 on 30/08/2024 - 09:33

      I think its a design flaw honestly, like I have used a few 18v options and Ozito is the only one that seriously struggles.

    • bio on 30/08/2024 - 11:17

      18V should be ok for a 150mm blade. Ozito must have used an underpowered motor. I had a Makita 18V 165mm and it was fine, even for hardwood.

    i have one, and this is a toy. lol

    not enough balls to cut through on one pass, you have to come through from the other end and hopefully you lined it up perfectly. i also changed to a better blade and still won't cut through. im not even cutting thick wood.

    i guess best for extremely light work

  • TheBean on 30/08/2024 - 09:02

    This is frustrating to use as it's quite weak. Otherwise if you don't mind going super slow… Cheap!

  • EBC on 30/08/2024 - 09:04

    I bought this because I needed something to cut through a 90mm post for an outdoor table I was building and was the most cost effective tool (three cuts kept things reasonably well lined up). Also used it to cut some hardwood merbau decking and it was fine but I wouldn't want to do a whole deck with it (drop saw would be much more useful).

    I never even tried the blade it came with though because of the reviews. Bought a diablo blade and it was perfect for what I needed.

    • heavyoctopus on 30/08/2024 - 09:16

      Hey mate, Do you think this would cut through a 19mm MDF or chipboard board?

      That's probably the most I would use this for on the odd occasion. First world problems but pulling out my corded one even for a small job is PIA.

      • miicah on 30/08/2024 - 09:26

        From what everyone is saying I think it would be fine for chipboard, but MDF is pretty dense.

        • heavyoctopus on 30/08/2024 - 10:10

          Yeah seems that way doesn't it.

      • EBC on 30/08/2024 - 10:03

        I think it would probably be fine for that for occasional use. As long as you aren't doing a big job and you take it slow, I am sure you would manage without issue.

        • heavyoctopus on 30/08/2024 - 10:12

          Yep thats a reasonable take on this, thanks

      • bamzero on 30/08/2024 - 11:23

        I got one of these in some marked down set. Pretty much same use case, occasional use when I have a quick cut to do. Much easier than running an extension for the corded one.

        Have only ever cut 19mm melamine laminated chipboard and pine planks and has done the job fine (using original blade paired with a 4Ah battery). Can't comment on MDF though.

        • heavyoctopus on 30/08/2024 - 11:32

    Sure, nothing too thick, but it's all DIY stuff not professional.

    It's $59 so you can hardly expect it to be used to build a house but its come in handy and I'm glad I got it.

  • doobey1231 on 30/08/2024 - 09:31

    These are seriously terrible, anything thicker than 8mm and it will burn the wood more than it will cut it. That is with a new blade from Full Boar(brand I trust thoroughly) and a 4ah battery on the back. It genuinely is the only Ozito tool I have been disappointed by which sucks cause its one of the few that I don't use often enough to justify a good quality one - in this budget range I would go a corded option.

    • Hurg on 30/08/2024 - 09:44

    • blitz on 30/08/2024 - 10:13

      To avoid injury, you should brace the wood while you're cutting it. For example, clamping the wood onto something flat and stable. If you're using a hand saw, you can just but the wood up against something immobile, but if you're using power tools things can go bad real quick and it's best to make sure the wood is not going to move around. You've only got ten fingers.

    • onetwothreefour on 30/08/2024 - 10:15

      I would recommend a mitre saw to cut deck boards rather than a circular saw.

      Circular saw is more for sheets of wood and longer cuts.

      It'll get through soft pine pallets. Some pallets are hardwood and it would struggle on the thicker parts.

      Be careful of nails when cutting pallets, they can be in surprising places. Also be aware many pallets are treated with really nasty chemicals (Arsenic, Ethyl Bromide). That stuff can be really, really bad for you. If you aren't sure the pallet is free of this stuff, do not cut it up.

    I have had this saw for quite some time. I don't regret buying it although I can understand the comments here - you can't use this saw for everything but it's a nice little tool to have in a shed for quick small jobs.
    It can cut through MDF, plywood, and other soft wood. Pine would depend on the thickness, but just go slower. Have done quite a few melamine shelves with it. Anything else and it would struggle.

    Will it cut thru bone?

    Is this another Aldi matching spree?

    I have the 165mm version with a blue makita blade. Does everything i need as a home user. It was $88 on sale. Maybe the 150mm is much weaker in which case the extra $30 is probably worth it.

    Probably not for you if you’re a chippie using it daily…
