For all 10MW Plus members
In this one I’m taking a look at entry-level plunge saws in late 2024. TL;DR - honestly they are so similar and the differences so subtle that you need to check the specs of each and see what’s most important to you, specs / manuals linked below.
Please note that I am not associated or affiliated with any of the companies mentioned, and I purchased all the saws and guide rails shown in this video. I’ve concentrated on the Einhell pattern saws as I’ve looked at eg the MacAllister in previous videos; it was good value at £70, not so much at the current £135. I’ve also deliberately not discussed the Scheppach / Aldi saws as I feel I’ve said all there is to say, and their frankly, odd design choices make them hard to recommend.

Next week’s video: Peter makes a new set of shelves for his extensive tracksaw collection …
Solid round up there! I always enjoy the comparison of similar tools to see what's out there and who's improving or innovating in certain ways. Hope the wrist is getting better.
Hi Peter. Great video - thanks for information. Great news on the Evolution track fitting the PARKSIDE saw.
Do you have any advice on upgrading the saw blade? Is there a video in that subject? Or could you create one?
My blade is showing it’s age now and I would really appreciate some info on what is available and what is the best.
