Bloody accurate, but hard work. Make sure you clamp the whole mitre saw down so you can really put your shoulder into it.

THere's plenty of cheap saws around now that would do the same job, as long as you can get suitable blades (Nobex is the posh one)

They do much cheaper ones too, but the difficulty will be getting the ferrous blades.

Thanks for that, Mr Henderson, and the helpful link. Will take a look
