I've been quite happy with the lazer on my metabo, but I haven't done any super precision work with it. The line of the lazer itself is also a mm or so thick - so I imagine it would be problematic for finer work.

I've got that metabo. Use the lazer just as a rough guide - then line up with the blade itself.

It's not consider as high end level but, the brand is good value for money.. you can consider it equivalent to Bosch blue, to put it in SA terms..

Considering the normal prices for the likes of Stanley, Metabo for 254mm mitre saw, this is a good deal..

Will of course test the accuracy of cutting etc when I get mine delivered..

A fair few woodworking YouTubers o follow also rave about the brand..

I also use the blade for dead nuts accuracy.. you can adjust the Lazer to get it more accurate, it has a little set screw if I remember, that you loosen and it moves around.. played a bit with it but I don't have the patience to do that when I can just line up with the blade..

This. I played with it a little but don't trust the thing.

Where would be the best place to find a folding trolley like this?

Builders sell for R1700, but it is a bit pricey.

Size: 510 x 457 x 1143mm

It may seem like a waste to spend so much but my one from builders has been worth the spend. Have moved a few items alone that I would have needed to get help with, which costs beer

I'd just check the weight limits, maybe the one for more is rated higher

Absolutely worth the investment. I just suddenly had a lot of unplanned expenses.
