Buy one and do a review or a video on how to use one.

At less than £70, I can't imagine it being accurate.

I can't see them being any good for that price.

205mm is very poor for a slider the dewalt 712 IS 305M

the other great use for a slider is trenching for half lap joins tennons ect
with the width off the slot/tennon limited by the bar lengths
you must also keep on mind only the dead centre off the blade does the trenching so iff the blade moves 70mm back and forth thats your maximum width

in general lidles tools are excelent value for money but only expect them to perform at the level twice there value

in general they have adjustment to the zero stops and somtimes when they have positive locking positions you can adjust to line up with the exact point

the innacuracies can be caused by sloppy mechanisms or the blade not truly folllowing flat with the back edge minutly taking a different path causing a wavy end that can appear on one or both the cut faces

i ment to say it dosnt mention trenching :thumbright:
