Hi

Does anyone know where to access a mini cut-off saw for cutting down blanks?

I presently use a mitre saw but find the saw blade is fairly thick, thus spoiling the grain balance between the 2 halves.

Pen Industry sell a cut off saw but unfortunately it is 110v.

You can get a plug and play transformer from most of the electronic suppliers and they cost very little

Would be interested as well as at the moment am cutting on the bandsaw and for some reason it is now not cutting as straight as it should and I have also been thinking of alternatives.

I suppose the first step would be to get a new blade Laughing 

Cheers
