The Metabo KGS255 is a compact and useful machine. It's a straightforward tool with few frills, but it is robustly made, easy to set and rewarding to use. The saw is mounted on a wide alloy base with splayed feet for added stability. The revolving table has a press button adjuster for setting the click stops and a threaded handle for in-between settings. It turns to 45° in either direction. The one-piece fence is fairly low but is ready-drilled to accept a false fence. The sawhead runs on a pair of rails which are shrouded underneath an alloy casting that carries the main hinging bracket. This is strongly sprung and has a locking pin. The front handle is comfortably angled towards the user and houses a small trigger and thumb-operated saw guard release that allows the guard to open. The lower guard handily hinges up inside the upper guard. So there's no chance of catching your fingers.
A gutsy little machine, although its motor is a little fierce the sliding action is beautifully smooth.
This saw is available from Data online or in their local branches located at Cardiff and Bridgend.

Moreover, the ergonomically angled front handle houses a small trigger and a thumb-operated saw guard release. This thoughtful design minimises the risk of accidental injuries, making the KGS255 a safe choice for all levels of users.
Performance That Speaks Volumes
Described as a "gutsy little machine" by users, the KGS255's motor, albeit fierce, is balanced by the beautifully smooth sliding action. This combination ensures that, despite its compact size, the KGS255 does not falter when tasked with heavy-duty cutting operations.
