Best Ozito Power Saws

For the price, this saw performed well. Easy to set up and operate and not heavy to move around. Cuts are clean and the saw has no problem with… Read more

thicker pieces of timber. A couple of downsides - the dust bag is for show only and practically useless and before using the saw, make a couple of practice cuts to ensure the saw is cutting at 90 degrees. The first saw I bought had to be offset by around 8 degrees to get a perfect square cut (even with the saw table offset to the max). I returned this saw to Bunnings and they had no issue to provide a replacement. The new saw still needs to be offset by a couple of degrees but nowhere near as bad as the original saw. I figure this will be an issue with these saws and a result of a low price. 'You get what you pay for' right? The upsides - it's cheap, does what it's supposed to do and has a 3 year warranty. Overall, a positive experience and happy with Ozito.

Well built machine – This saw is built really well and has enough power for most hobbyists and diyers. I've used it for a number of projects including building a timber… Read more

pergola and as long as you have a decent blade it can handle 45mm thick pine beams, particle board benchtops etc. So far no complaints. Obviously it's going to struggle with hardwoods or a blunt blade so you need to be sensible on how to use it. It'd be great if Ozito made a 36V version.

Good for the price – I'm just a DIY user, but I quickly grew past what this saw could do. The two major issues that hold it back for me are the blade cover getting stuck… Read more

at the start of work, often needing to awkwardly pull it back slightly to get it started Then the power of it, I instantly swapped the default blade to a Irwin Weldtech and was having issue with it getting bogged down.swapped again to a Diablo and still the same issue. Now I am talking about cutting 200x50mm sleepers so it's quite a task for a small saw, but it's still enough to make me look elsewhere now. Besides those two issues it has been great.

The Material Clamp is usless – There is nothing to secure the material clamp to the saw. No locking screw, nothing. Just a lsmooth shaft and a loose hole. Tighten it up and it just… Read more

moves up and falls out. There is no way that it could work. It's a joke. I had to drill a hole in the back and put a bolt in to get it to function. Also the blade is very poor quality and I had to replace it with the blade from my old saw. The dust bag doesn't collect dust at all. Apart from that it works OK for the price.

I got a lesson and advice on blades from the staff in bunnings. Let the tool weight do the work, push it and you kill it. Bought blades at same time… Read more

for cutting green timber. The included ones went straight into the bin. For $109 in machine and two blade pack for $20 australian I would be happy if it lasts a season. Using it on the farm for a few months to clean up a lot of small tree and branches around the house before fire season. First day It did very well, I even cut through some 150mm timber. I am 71 and have arthritic hands which makes a chainsaw impossible, not much pain at end of day, no trouble guiding blade with this saw. Compared to my petrol pole saw this is a little easier. And it will run off my 1kw generator for where a power cable will not reach. I will update this review if it survives the season or it dies. Hopefully the blade holding mechanism has been improved in the years since the other reviews.

update so far half a dozen trees cut into small lengths, a ton of the thickest bits went to a friend by trailer. bent a blade. broke a blade. third blade is 300mm long and has cut logs 200mm thick. no problems

is a little bulky but what got me to give it a 1 star is the fact that you have to press a small button located near the power button at the same… Read more

time as the power button in order for it to work which makes it very hard to use, so basically the only usefulness it would have would be for pruning small branches. total waste of money

ozito creates surprisingly awesome mitre saw – I bought this combination mitre saw with extension stand 3 or 4 years ago now (2019/2020) from Bunnings. It’s a tough saw that I have put through a… Read more

slog of cross cut timber for many Reno projects. Still running smoothly as the day I bought it. WRT accuracy: plenty of fine adjustments available to assure true 90° calibrations.

The Red Laser light guide is handy although a constant fiddle to keep it accurate to the blade’s line of cut. The saw has a dust extraction outlet which is conveniently out of the way. It comes with an Allen Key for Blade changes that has its own clip in storage bracket. The saw’s dust cowling/funnel needs to be enlarged to be effective: a minor issue.

The horse stand with extension is good enough for occasional use as it’s flimsy. I built a mitre saw bench insert for it to bolt to.

The two adjustable height board support rollers are handy as I remove them from time to time and insert them into my own custom support stands.

5/5 value for money and overall quality build for the saw itself: would have liked it to be 2000 watts in future versions and with more reliable way to calibrate the laser light.

The stand for the saw needs to be a more robust design so I’d only give that 2/5.

Reasonable – Seems good you do need a vacuum cleaner/dust extraction. the only issue with mine is that the machined aluminium seems to leave grey marks on the… Read more

wood. These can be sanded off. fitting the router was a bit of a fiddle. I put a trim router in mine because it made the height of the bit easy to adjust. It was not straight forward to fit the router and get the machine tuned. It was good once set up.
