So lesson leaned I have been looking for a table saw. Whilst I usually buy Dewalt, the small saws only have a 8" blade so opted for a Makita 2704. FFS they don't come cheap, but with a finger still having a hole where the skin is still missing, neither do new fingers.
So shopping around and I can get it 50quid cheaper than anywhere else and there seems to be shortage of 240v I hand over the card details and advised it will come Tuesday.
Just had the phone call...Mr Wilkinson, this is Travis Perkins. About your web order...Heart starts to sink, they are going to say a price mistake online...No, Makita say none in the country for at least 4 weeks.
Gripe, I have a job to finish, a painful finger and back to using the mitre. Carefully.

I find Travis Perkins are utter ****e, there's always a problem every single dealing. Did quickly google that saw though and it does look to be unavailable.
I've got a big einhell mitre saw, it's crap (.) compared to a Makita but it does clamp to a table ...and has a guard (albeit flimsy)
