Here are some things to consider before purchasing the Total Mitre Saw: The weight of the saw: It is a fairly heavy saw at 23kg, so it may be difficult to transport. The noise level: Miter saws can be quite loud, so you may want to wear hearing protection when using this saw. The dust collection system: The dust collection system on this saw is not the best, so you may want to wear a dust mask when using it. If you are looking for a powerful and versatile miter saw that is a good value for the price, then the Total TS42182553 Mitre Saw is a good option for you. However, if you are looking for a lightweight saw with a good dust collection system, then you may want to consider another option.
