Mitre saw, what to get?

Honestly you don't need to spend a lot to do stuff like skirting and arcs..

Dewalt every time IMO.

@R-D-R A couple of friends have Festool gear and say it's really good but I can't spend £800 on a mitre saw!

"the precision and repeatability is brilliant" That would be worth it if my measuring skills were equal to the tools.....

Thanks for the replies, after saying the old saw was ok I've now realized that it's a bit rough when cutting deep skirting as it moves on the sliders. This is due to the chrome rusting..... it's lived in a damp shed for 12 years so can't blame it really!
I think I'm going for the Bosch GSM 8 SJL from Axminister Tools, it's got the cutting capacity I need with a laser guide and soft start motor and a fine toothed blade.
I have to say I'm a bit of a Bosch fan and the quality so far has been good.
I know some manufactures are producing rubbish with their stickers on, more fool them! If it's crap I'll send it back and won't buy from them again.

You realise it's single bevel? I discounted that one due to that.

^^^ The old one is single bevel so I'm not going to miss it and the decent double bevel saws are quite a lot more dosh!
I've now just noticed the old saw blade is missing a tooth or two!
Just about to order the Bosch from Axminster
