Table Flatness, Parallel Test, Arbor Runout, Noise Level

Stamped steel wings; sliding table available as option; fair parallelism (needed simple trunnion adjustment).

The DeWalt, General, Jet, and Woodtek saws have the most user-friendly power switches.

Most of the inserts were less than flat, making it about impossible to get them level with the table. And because they are relatively thin, all tended to deflect under moderate downward pressure. Craftsman, Delta, DeWalt, Jet, and Steel City made an effort to add stiffness by including ribs on the underside of the inserts. They helped, but not enough to eliminate the problem.

All the miter gauges in this group were adequate, but those of the Grizzly, Shop Fox, and Delta stood out as especially sturdy and comfortable.

On the other eight hybrids, the trunnions are attached to the underside of the table, where they are much harder to access. The good news is that any adjustment should be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Makita LS1219L Miter Saw

This is the saw I want in my shop. For one, it’s easy to use. All of the controls are easy to reach and manipulate, and the glide mechanism is both robust and smooth. The handle works well for righties and lefties. Then there are added bonuses that no other saw has. For instance, its hold-down is superb, as it can move to different locations, hinges for a greater range of coverage, and actually holds down the work. In addition, the saw has two points of dust collection, letting it firmly beat the rest of the field. The one downside was the saw’s laser, which was so faint we had to turn off the shop lights to see it. Still, all these pluses in a package that fits tight to the wall? That’s a winner for me.
