Customer Reviews & Comments
As a trim carpenter in the market for a new slide saw I did a lot of homework and asked alot of others in the business. My old axe was a 10" bosch which was nice but not nearly accurate enough and it was a single compound. So after much deliberation it came down to the hitachi or the makita as these are both the highest recommended in the trade for accuracy, dependability, and solid reputations. First off... 10" or 12". I do a lot of 6" baseboard and mostly stain grade. Given the poor quality of wall straightness today i'm constantly shaving off small bevels and it's quite the pain laying flat compared to upright. Even the double compound isn't going to be as easy as keeping the board straight. But there isn't a lot in the 12" market for accuracy which i really wanted. So... of the two 10" saws... the hitachi and makita came out about the same. Hitachi was lighter, belt driven, but no easily adjustable depth stop and the laser was blocked by the rubber dust collector. Makita was perfect except for that most absurd of designs: the up-against-the-fence side miter scale... GRRRR. Both saws have the most ridiculously small fences. If i would have stuck with the 10" it would have been the hitachi.... But their 12" saw is a MONSTER of plastic gimicks with no relation to the 10". It's a fantasically overpriced framing saw at best. So that left the Makita 12. [...]... it's only gonna cost a little over half.... PLUS it comes with the right side subfence. So... how could i say no? lol It arrived complete, undamaged, and right on schedule. Setup took 5 minutes. Adjusting the laser was a little more difficult. It was dead nuts on... but on the right side of the blade??? For some reason it disappears moving it left and then comes back. Finally able to get it correct. I can't see moving it back and forth. Would have been nice to make a little lever that moves it back and forth a set distance. Ahh well. Table is flat and fence was aligned properly. The pointers on the bevel scale had to be moved a little. First off, this blade cuts amazingly for a stock blade. I'll put it up against my frued's any day. Very smooth and no wobble. Saw has soft start which is weird when you're not used to it. This is a VERY precise machine. All my worries about a 12" are gone. If i let the saw do the work it's amazingly accurate. Laser works well but i'm not quite used to it and am a little nervous about how accurate it's going to be. The florescent light will work. Some say it's junk but i've been in plenty of jobs with little lighting and/or late day (night) work and i can see it coming in handy for sure. As for the stupid miter scale. We'll i'll just have to get used to it. The dust chute actually works pretty well but i could really care less. That's what laborers are for! haha I'd actually only give this 4.5 stars because makita should redesign the miter scale and 2. Throw in a couple of plastic kerf blocks. All in all i'm ready for the next trim job! UPDATE: after 2 weeks of daily use i have a beef on this saw and that's the stupid blade guard. I've already hacked thru it on bevel cuts... it's just too flimsy. It bends into the blade. So now it's wired up like all my others. Other than that... it's awesome.
