Svorka je nepoužitelný klump - nelze přitáhnout, nedrží a povoluje - na pravé straně je navíc její poloha limitována samotným motorem pily, který s ní v 90% koliduje Bez podložení jiným kusem dřeva má občas problémy s doříznutím posledního milimetru, dvou, kotouč na spodní hranu "nedosáhne"To adjust the laser, you’ll need to undo a tiny grub screw with a hex key. Unfortunately, it’s a bit of an odd size at 2.5 mm, and I don’t have half sizes on my normal set. The next issue was when I tried to adjust the angle indicators. These are held in place with T20 size Torx head screws, which again aren’t included. Already know basics? Jump on the third step. We would recommend reading the manual to have some knowledge about the mitre saw. Také mě zarazilo, že ne vždy dořízne spodní zadní hranu až do konce, stačí trocha pilin na pojezdu a prostě kotouč nedosáhne tak daleko, aby byl řez kompletní, ale skončí v 99%. Kvůli otřepům stejně řeším přiložením nějakého kousku dřeva za řezaný materiál, ale zarazilo mě to, stačilo by přidat 2 milimetry na pojezdu a bylo by vyřešeno. In addition to this, the Metabo mitre saw offers you a good cutting width of 305mm (12 inches). It cuts the hard and large wood planks with ease and gives you smooth sliding with better quality. Moreover, it comes with a precise turntable, so that you can have precise and accurate planks of materials. Last but not least, this cutter has a cutting depth of 65mm (2.5 inches). Following are the dimensions of this mitre saw 82 x 42 x 38 cm. The company also offers some additional accessories along with the cutter for better working. An effective dust bag is also present along with a mitre saw. Features

Verify the rotation direction of the saw blade. When viewed from the left (open) side, the arrow on the saw blade should correspond to the direction indicated by the arrow on the blade guard.

Turning the saw table through 45° in either direction is lovely and smooth. I’m pleased that Metabo have included positive stops at all the common angles: 0 °, 15 °, 22.5°, 30° and 45° on both sides. The big red angle indicators make it easy to see exactly where you are as well. You get a pair of table extensions that fit neatly onto the end of the saw bed, and the right-hand one has a flip-up stop on it. This will come in extremely handy for ganging up work if you need to cut multiple bits of timber to the same length. Test the operation of the saw blade manually by rotating it to different positions without touching other parts. The folding blade guard should provide unobstructed access to the saw blade without any obstacles. The most noticeable feature of this mitre saw is its versatility. This saw can cut various materials including wood, plastic, and coated panels up to different widths and depths and in different shapes. Pojezd a aretace - dají se vytvářet i základní drážky třeba na menší šuplíky nebo řezat mnohem větší kusy dřeva, pokud je budete otáčet (maximálně jsem řezal trámy 18x10cm)

The output power of 1500 watts increases the worth of this mitre saw. It provides you with a good power to cut different materials easily such as timber, plastic, and coated panels. Moreover, this high power also allows you to use the saw for the long term without any issue.Place it at an angle you want it to be cut. There will be angle measurement on the mitre saw. You can adjust the wood piece accordingly. All scales and operating elements are visible from the working position and can be operated intuitively The first test of the performance of this mitre saw is to find out how well it came set up from the factory. The next challenge is finding out how easy it is to adjust the angles and the laser guide if it’s not perfectly set up. Because of the sliding and bevelling features on this saw, Metabo have been forced to construct the fence in two pieces. The top half slides out of the way to allow the blade to pass by, but it means the fence is thin and a bit wobbly. Compared with the solid sliding fence on the Bosch GCM8SJL it’s not the best.

I immediately came across a bit of a problem. Supplied with the saw is a hex key with a Philips head screwdriver on one end. This works if you want to adjust the fence or change the blade but manipulating the laser guide and angle indicators was another matter entirely.

Cardboard box; With sliding function

We can easily cut different materials up to the depth of 65mm (2.5 inches). This depth is perfect for large construction work. It also cuts the fine pieces of large and hard timber material. A plus point is its cutting width is 12 inches. The cut depth is an ample 65mm (2.5 inches) which will cut a range of timber and some good size planks but will not cut through the larger construction size timbers. If this is for more finishing work and light construction it will be fine. There is also a depth stop feature allowing you to cut accurate groves. Stupnice neodpovídá přesně skutečnému úhlu - cca o 0,5° stupně vychýlený kotouč = nedělá rovné řezy při 0°
