MIKITA 12" COMPOUND MITRE SAW [Posted on 2005-07-21]
First saw arrived with a cracked base. I found this a bit shocking since it was very solidly built. I attributed this to a lousy packing job which could not tolerate a drop from a truck ( I assume this happened)....Replacement was fast and no hassle -LOVE AMAZON !!! SAW IS INCREDIBLE...cuts wood like butter, accurate scale of degrees, easy to adjust, heavy but not too heavy to move to site of cutting. Manual is not detailed enought you will need to get a wood trim book.
All in All a great saw and great value....

This a great product with only one flaw. It is strong, square, and very powerful. Using the stock blade it zips through PTL without a hitch. The cuts are very clean with minimal chipping (again with the stock blade). All of my friends who've seen it want one.
The one flaw is, as a previous reviewer noted, the blade change. You have to depress the blade lock with one hand, pull the shield out of the way with another hand, and loosen the nut with a third hand.
Overall, though, this is a fantastic miter saw. One might complain about the lack of a laser, but the Irwin $30 add-on works just fine.

I have used this saw now for 3 years and it has held up wonderfully. This is one of the best tools I have owned.

I'm almost completely satisfied with the saw. Plenty of power, positive detents, easy to handle knobs, useful side extensions, and easy to change blade. The horizontal handle is much better that a vertical handle. I'd have given it 5 stars if the table had a little more friction. Smooth hardwoods tend to slide on the nice smooth table when doing angle cuts. A 100 tooth ATB blade helped minimize the problem.
Love it! Love it! Love it! [Posted on 2007-12-14]
I'm not a professional carpenter, but I've used this saw for projects around the house for a while now and can't get enough of it. The cuts were right on straight out of the box. It's a clean design and easy to use. I would recommend this saw to anyone...even family members!!
