Makita's Quality is Unmatched [Posted on 2007-01-10]
The tolerances of the Makita LS1040 are so tight that wafer thin pieces of wood can be shaved off and you can see through them. I am not lying. I shaved off pieces of 2x material and could see light through them. Also miter cuts in moldings are crisp and clean. I especially like tools with blade brakes because they are safer and blade changing is faster. Because of its light weight I have no problem transporting this saw from job to job. Sure a heavier slide saw will cut 2x10 and larger stock but honestly how often do I cut that on the job site with a miter saw... never.
Great Saw [Posted on 2007-04-10]
This saw worked perfectly right out of the box.....all the factory adjustments were dead on......the quality of the cuts are perrfect...what more can I say.
A good all around saw [Posted on 2007-06-24]
I have run this saw for four years. It is the old standby in my shop. It is fairly rugged for on site work as well and transports easily due to its light weight construction. The trigger safety on my saw is broken however. It is one of those small plastic parts that is easily cracked when throw in the back of a pickup at the end of the day. If I had to change anything about this saw I would have made that little button out of some type of strong alloy. This saw will do everything from medium size framing jobs to cabinetry work and moulding installations. It is a good addition to any shop.
cuts straight less filling [Posted on 2007-07-05]
You'd think it would be easy to find a miter saw that cut straights, angles, and bevels accurately (without having to adjust them every time), but alas no. I went through a couple of cheaper brands hoping to save a few bucks... live and learn. This saw doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some other brands, but it cuts true.
Makita MITRE Saw [Posted on 2007-07-25]
Being a finish carpenter for over 30 years I can say that this saw is excellent for the budget end of the Makita line...for the price it is very much worth it. The saw cuts accurately and is light in weight for portability.
