mini power tools - good or not
Found this listing on ebay
Has anybody had experience with tools like this
The seller seems to have some other tools like this as well.
It may be ok for cutting out scales - not sure about the cutting length limits though

Man! That is cool! Take note! 240 volt! Just a little chop-saw. Cut any length in the world!

I see that now! So, you guys run 240. We have it too, just not to every room! We call it 220, but it measures 238 on average here in my locale. Looks a dandy tool. I suppose it uses 3 inch blades? Cannot tell from the listing.

When you click on the link and it opens up - look for the link to the sellers other items. There are some other cool looking mini tools there too.
With regard to the 220 volt plug used in the US you may need to change the Australian plug to the US version as the Australian plug has a different arrangement of the pins on it. US mostly has 2 vertical pins on their plug and Australia has either 2 or 3 pin plugs - with the 2 upper pins set at a 45 degree angleRickyB

I'd think it not useful for cutting out scales. A chop saw is really only good for quick square cuts on long thin stock. Think of it as a simplified miter saw; cuts 90° only, has no traverse (blade moves up and down), and you can't cut anything parallel to the blade. If there were some sort of band saw, that would be useful.
