User Comments about the Makita LS1214FL 15 Amp 12-Inch Dual Bevel Compound Sliding Miter Saw with Laser and Fluorescent Light

Ok I owen & opperate a Int.Trim Co. to the left or the right of each angle unless you lock the saw down each time.The other is that the guard catches the long point of a compound miter on any crown over 5 1/4" cut from the end of the material.So I am not sure if I am into this saw or not it has only been a month and I think I still like my Dewalt better.Time will tell.All and all it is a nice saw we do high end custom homes and spec.production homes thru out South Florida.Between myself & the guys we have used just about all the saws on the market and this one falls somewhere in the middle of the road.I have two issues with this saw the first being that the stops @ each miter have to much play about 1 Deg.
and that was resolved to my satisfaction. Very good saw. Solidly built, easy to use, and received high ratings as best miter saw in this size. Second is the saw is quite heavy and large so not easy to carry around. Only 2 issues: the saw was shipped with a defective handle and trigger switch (quality control).
I have never owned this saw but I have used it quite a few times. I found it a little hard to move around and to adjust the settings. I has plenty of power.
THis is a sweet saw until it broke. The parts had quality i would expect of an inferior tool manufacturer. The fence shattered in three different places within a few days of opening the box. Customer service was not concerned that their components did not stand up to regular use.
This saw is amazing. Don't make a mistake and buy a Dewalt. It makes precision cuts. the stock blade works extremely well when cutting crown molding.
