Smooth cutting actionSmooth Cutting Action, Smooth and Fast Braking System
Street price: $315
Accuracy of cut: Very good
Quality of cut: Excellent
This is the most solidly built saw, with more metal parts and thicker castings than the others. It has very little runout, smooth cutting action, and a smooth and fast braking system. On the other hand, you must adjust the fence to adjust the miter detent angles, which is inconvenient, and the detents tend to drag the table toward them, making it hard to set up certain miter angles. But our main issue with this saw was that its table was the least flat, which affects cutting accuracy at times.
Comments
Just wanted to let you know that I love this saw except that the blade guard exploded today by drifting into the blade– pieces everywhere. And then, buyer beware, the replacement blade guard has been discontinued by Makita. What the heck am i supposed to do? I won't run it without the guard.
