REVIEWERS OF THIS SAW THAT BOUGHT IT THREE OR MORE YEARS AGO ARE JUDGING THE OLD SAW, NOT THE NEW ONE. BEWARE, THIS IS A GREAT SAW.
Best saw on the market [Posted on 2002-05-10]
I have done construction work all my life 30 years and out of all saws i have used this one out peforms them all in every way precise cuts,lightweight carry with one hand, and when you get use to it it will be the fastest you ever owned runs circles around all other makes. The Best saw ever made I own three and will buy another.
Great for home projects. [Posted on 2003-05-12]
This mitre saw has made all my home improvement & wood projects so much easier. There's nothing worse than needing a 45 degree angle and having to use a mitre box. It's tedious and it takes so much time. This mitre saw is great. I really the the D shaped handle, it makes using the saw so much easier. The dust bag doesn't really collect much sawdust but that's not too much of a big deal for me. If you're looking for an inexpensive mitre saw, this one is the one you want!
The finish carpenter's best friend [Posted on 2003-06-26]
I bought my ls1011 in 1994 and have used it almost daily since. Along with my portaplane I value it as indispensable to finish work. It is versatile and most importantly, light. A tough, reliable tool. However did I manage without it?
Downside; The bushing rings between the table and base are a constant problem, wearing out very quickly with daily use. Also I have noticed time and again that even with a brand new 60 tooth Marathon blade, on a 45 degree compound cut the blade seems to "bend" slightly, even through soft woods. A problem with the blade or arm stability?
All things considered, I'm ready to buy another.
Great saw [Posted on 2003-07-16]
I'm a part time carpenter whose built a few houses and used several brands of miter saws. Bought this one on recommendation of trim carpenter pal and couldn't be happier. Wife and some friends helped me build a backyard deck this past weekend and all raved about the saw. Soft start feature was a big hit and the controls are easy to figure out to anyone familiar with a miter saw. Big work surface is great as big as most 12" miters. We used a lot of 45 degree miter cuts on railings and benches and it cut 4x4s and 2x6 with ease also easily handled some complex compound miters where the bench backs joined. Am now actually looking forward to a crown molding project this fall. Although I bought this for my own use, the saw is well built so I wouldn't have any reservations about taking it to a job site.
