    I have as makita abrasive cut-off saw and have never been able to get a 90 degree cut with it. I bought the unit second hand.

    Lets say I'm cutting 40x40 box section. When it reaches 10mm from the bottom it seems to veer off to one side.

    If i force it down quite hard that helps to keep it straight. Personally I was quite disappointed, I'm not sure if its faulty or damaged.

    Looking for an alternative saw now myself. I expect the cold cut versions wont have that flex in the blade.

    edit: having read the thread below, it seems that skew is a characteristic of abrasive cut-off saws. I think I'm going to start looking around for a cold-cut saw.
