Review title: Carpenters reveiw
Product review: Ive used this saw for over a year and liked it. It was my bosses saw. I own a a fixed 12" Dewalt miter saw. Its a good saw but im considering buying the makita anyways. When coping basboard I need the slide(makita) to cut the straight portion, my Dewalt is unsatisfactory at the least for this. I hate flipping long boards over end to end because I dont have dual bevel. And the Dewalt blade arbor is insufficient to handle the 12" Blade. I know two people whos arbors failed and discarded the tool because of the cost to fix. You also get more flex in a 12" blade. Disagree? Try taking off a 16th of an inch with a 12 inch blade. Compared to other miter saws this makita is a 5, but compared to my imaginary ideal miter saw I give it a 4. I was using an hitachi 10" slide allday todayand hated it because it didnt have the dual bevel. I was flipping 16 footers all day in tight quarters.
