Super tool that does the job. Will cut Decking, Studwork, and skirting with ease, the cut depth is good for such a small machine. The mitre and bevel guides were spot on straight out of the box - very impressed! The only thing that held me up was the instructions on how to set up the guide that sits behind the workpiece - it calls it a guard, and for initial setup you need to make a straight cut through a piece of timber, and into the grey plastic end of the guide. This then gives a very accurate guide through all angles to be cut as to where the cut will be. Overall a really good tool that provided you measure it correctly it cuts it correctly. p.s. Bare Bones means there are no extensions to support longer pieces of timber..
