Cordless DIY

A couple of weeks ago we were lucky enough to be sent the Ryobi Compound Mitre Saw to review. A fabulous piece of technology the Ryobi Mitre Saw works without the need for cables!

Allows you perfect angles every time! No bodge jobs!

 It is one of only a small number of cordless mitre saws on the market and having been sent to a review one previously only a margin cheaper it is one of the best around. It is part of the Ryobi ONE+ family of tools which allows you to use one battery among a range of different tools. Therefore you can use one of your previous tools batteries to power this machine. A fabulous way to save money you spend on other DIY around the home! On a fully charged battery you can cut up to 69 cuts! 

It also features a laser guide for repeat and accurate cutting. The only issue we had with the laser is that my husband enjoyed working outdoors on the grass (the joys of no cords!) and couldn’t see the laser of course in the bright sun! However the minute you took it inside it shone out and was great to use.

See no cords! And very light to carry too.

What has impressed us the most though is the cutting! When you buy Ryobi you know you’re buying a great name and a wonderful brand but even so we adored the cut it gave. Unlike some other saws there was no vibration and you didn’t have to fight the saw and could concentrate on the project in hand rather than trying to control it. The cut was as professional as I have seen among any wood layers.

Isn't that cut beautiful? 

The Ryobi Mitre Saw is fabulous in the set up. It really is a case of pick it up and cut. We haven’t once had a bad cut,  we think due to the blade, the laser technology and the measured base plate. It is more to be used for smaller projects and of course is designed perfectly for skirting boards and cutting wood flooring. It can really only handle a depth of 1” but we have a project coming up which shows just how useful it is to make projects around the house. Perfect for creating designer bookshelves, wine storage, bespoke tables and other useful objects around the house. Mainly down to its wonderful angle cutting. 

And of course being cordless you can take it from room to room!

A fabulous powerful and robust tool is makes a perfect edition to any bodies power tools range! Stay tuned to see one of our projects we ran up on it!
