Quality Product [Posted on 2004-06-10]
My family recently inherited one of these from my Uncle Doug (he didn't die but he left to go buy cigarettes one day and never returned-that's another story). We don't like letting things go to waste, so we try to use it whenever we can even though we don't do any carpentry or anything that would require a tablesaw-we've done little school projects and some tailoring, etc. The saw works well, and it's pretty easy to get a handle on, even for non-experts. However, for small projects like cutting paper or cardboard, scissors really still work the best. Nonetheless, I look forward to working with this saw more, and someday I'd like to saw a little statue that we can keep to remind us of Uncle Doug (Doug "the Mug").
Don't Buy The Stand [Posted on 2004-09-16]
I love the saw and would give it a 4 star rating. Light and accurate.
The stand however is a rip off. It isn't any different than the $20 Black & Decker version you can readily buy. It is clunky, the rubber feet fall off immediately and it doesn't even come with the hardware to mount the saw on the stand.
Makita Portable 10" [Posted on 2005-10-13]
A great saw, especially at the sale price. Makita always has produced durable tools and this is will be no exception. Little vibration with good depth for thicker stock. Hard to beat for a small portable unit. Buy the "table" to add ease in use.
Good saw however poor fence [Posted on 2006-02-23]
I used this saw in the past for jobsite work. It worked well. I have had no problems with it. The fence is definetly lacking for precise work, however for any rough work it works well. The included stand is fine for workshop use but otherwise would be a major pain to move around and is heavy. If you want to buy a saw for fine woodworking, I highly recommend you purchase a more expensive saw. For a portable, I would buy the dewalt model over this one. The major reason being the fence. My rating is for a portable saw for rougher work.
