    I think I do remember that tie now you mention it! I couldnt tell you what it looked like! I was a bit boozy that night, I couldn't even eat that Chinese. I had them chicken satays for breakfast at 6:00am when Graham decided to put the tv on and wake me up, ruff.

    Love it !
    I remember a night out in Glasgow, with a young lad who was working with me.
    BIG night out on the lash, then the customary Kebab.
    I was so full of beer, I could n`t eat it, and found it by my bed in the morning.
    It smelt so tasty, I could n`t resist, and picked it up for a bite !
    I did n`t know but my mate was watching, and instantly hurled his gut`s up all over !!
    BIG mess

    Haha I couldn't waste them. To be fair Graham didn't look too impressed. I didn't even drink that much but had loads of different types of beer and it done me in.

    exacts are great you dont have to keep getting up and down and you can cut direct to the floor

    Dont really get the Exact saw bought one for ply but found it awkward to use and not very accurate Found the guard got in the way.
    So I will stick with a concave blade

    Crap, no dust port so crap was everywhere and it was a lot bigger than my exact and couldn't get used to long cuts holding at a different angle and battery was ****e, all in all a great product! Back onto my 4th Exact but just swap them over every time

    Had the purple one (ooer missus!) burnt out the motor within 2 months, pain in the ass waiting over a month to send away and get repaired as it is trade one. So just use green one now and get it from Homebase as they are always in stock and always keep the receipt in the van and swap over if something goes wrong there and then. Only use for ply up to 9mm and use vacuum and bought a load of own brand tct blades off ebay for £15 and going strong

    I went through two purple ones ( ps125) in two years with the gears failing. My cheap green one (ec310) has lasted four years with no problems.
