MakitaLS1019LX 10" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser and Stand

I love Makita tools. I'm very pleased with the quality and finish of this saw and stand. It cuts cleanly and can handle 12" wide stock. The dust collection works well.

Makita and only Makita for compound chop saws and miters, but not this stand. Too flimsy when rolling and the wheels are hard plastic. Unbelievable bad design on this saw stand but the saw rocks and is accurate and reliable.

Very heavy unit--more portable if you're an NFL linebacker. Works great and is bigger than my last one which accounts for the weight.

Box arrived damaged and previously opened. When I opened the box the tool was just thrown in there with no other Packaging and sawdust all over it. Total lack of quality control!

The saw itself is great. The packaging was a joke and Makita's customer service not much better. There is one, flimsy piece of cardboard that holds the saw in place so mine arrived somehow with the saw rotated nearly upside down in the box. This resulted in a hole in the box in which 2 of the accessories fell out as well as the elbow of the dust collector hose attachment getting smashed. MAkita's response was send it back to amazon...um hello nearly 100 pounds of saw and seaprate stand and I am not sending back for small accessories. They agreed to send the handle that attaches to the front for the miter adjustment, but over a month and still no handle. I purchased the elbow from a 3rd party. I called today because the first time using the stand and the cheap weld broken on the handle that adjust the roller support. Makita's response was to ship it back to Amazon. I refused and they told me to take it 20 miles away a repair facility which I also refused and they agreed to send a replacement part. The metal used on the base of the saw that attaches to the support for the stand is flimsy, i barely tightened the saw down to it and it began to crack. Overall after spending nearly $700 I am pretty disappointed with a few issues and Makita's inability to try and help. They have some wonderful tools, but not sure I will give them my money again on a bigger purchase.

The absolute best saw of it’s kind on the market...quality,accurate,solid makita outdid themselves with this one

Pretty good saw happy with that but the stand is a big disappointment. It is short and not capable of supporting longer materials as the supports are sliding down under the weight. Tightening the screws will rip off the poorly welded nuts. Attachment of the saw holders to the stand is poorly designed so setting and removing the saw is very awkward. Can't return the stand only since this is package. Bosh stand is definitely much better option and it is compatible.

Very sturdy and well built and a great brand
