    So looks like I'm gonna be doing a bit more laminate in future so looking to get a few more tools, I'd sold my chopsaw and was among on getting sliding saw but changed mind and have bought a guillotine instead for lvt/laminate and also got a cordless dewalt skillsaw and soon the cordless jigsaw, thinking about the beading cutting and came across this little tool which looks like a good idea for it, dust free and can take fractions off as well as quick and easy, bit expensive mind seeing as it would only really be for beading scotia.
    Opinions?

    I think it looks quite good, but you can do a lot more with a chop saw

    Spare blades in sidebar in that link I gave 70 sheets mind, but wouldn't expect to change very often with mdf scotia

    Would it cut solid scotia? Doing lots more solid scotia and the chop saw blades gotta be spot on or it snaps it

    Doesn't say but I'd imagine it would as it's designed for framing which is mostly hardwood isn't it?
