Title: Defective Design
Review: After 6 months of daily use the shaft lock stripped out so that I could not lock the mechanism to release the cutoff blade. I followed the instructions by not actuating the shaft lock while the spindle was still moving, but the shaft lock still stripped out rending the tool useless. I'm sure Makita will repair it under warranty, but they'll just replace the same gear mechanism with another that will strip out in another six months, so what we have here is simply a defective design. Too bad, as the the rest of the tool seemed to be very high quality.
