Professional wood shop comments
By Jerome P. Quigley
We run a small custom wood shop. I really did a lot of research on saws and spent countless hours driving long distances to see them in person. It was a tough decision but I settled on The Makita 12" sliding compound miter saw. I had to weigh lots of arguments from so called experts on such things as belt driven vs. non belt driven and how some feared that the Makita being direct drive might be inferior. I found such arguments to be false arguments.I've used my Makita now for 3 months and really love it. The single best feature that distinguishes it from the others is the laser, which unlike other brands is built in and works really well, and can be switched on and off and operates throughout the cut (unlike others). I only wish it had duel lasers so that you don't have to switch the laser back and forth. I only use the laser on certain cuts and to line up very long cuts quickly.The only problem that I have had is that to tilt the saw on a steep miter cut I really have to secure the lever very hard or the miter angle will slip. Also when doing a steep miter angle I have to do dry runs in order to compensate for the slight tilt that the saw will make when being pulled down. But I find that is easy to live with. There are no saws out there that do not bend or deform when cutting steep miter cuts. I think the Makita is by far the best saw overall.I'm really happy with this saw.UPDATE June 2012: The saw is still going strong, no problems at all. My initial review was in 2010. I just wanted to follow up and to let everyone know that my initial judgement still holds true. This is a great saw!! I'm very glad I made the purchase.

Makita LS1216L
By Dr. P...
My Sears radial arm saw was losing motor bearings after 42 years of hard labor. No parts available and what is out there (Delta and Sears) were too expensive or too cheap. Went looking for alternative.I have a one year old Hitachi double bevel 12"chop saw and give it 5 stars. I used the radial for cross cutting only. Looked at several dual bevel slider saws and found they might come close to 15" 90 degree distance I have enjoyed with old RAS. Came very close to getting DeWalt at about 14" cut. When I saw the "dust collector" that came with it, I wondered what else was cheap inside the saw. I also wanted a laser guide (standard on Hitachi), but optional on DeWalt. Found reviews on Makita. Stated 15" cut and most excellent 4 tube slider system and the laser for a lot less money. Bought it about a month ago via Amazon.com and received it in about a week.My Hitachi had arrived with "out of the box" perfect alignment. The Makita was found unlocked from the top slider (trying to open the top of the box) and none of the sliders were locked in place either. When I finally got it out and on the bench, I was impressed with the over all quality of the tool.I discovered the alignment was off in bevel and miter. This took an hour to reset, following the micro-sized manual. (Finally went on line and downloaded manual so my ancient eyes could see the technical drawings more clearly.)After adjustments, every thing seemed cool and the 60T blade that came with the saw cut through some 5/4 pressure treated lumber like butter with a really nice smooth end grain cut.I just finished building an access door for our fireplace wood storage and spent the extra efort to miter all the joints and make the door a good tight fit. The Makita delivered.I give this saw a 4 1/2 star rating only because of the packing issues (as mentioned in other reviews) and the poor alignment.

Three is a Charm
By L. Markert
I have been a Carpenter for several years and while looking for an additional 12" Slide Miter Saw I decided to try the new Makita model. The first one came in looking great but could not adjust the fence to the blade. I think the holes in the fence where too small for adjustment. After walking through the problem with the Makita Technician he told me to return it. I received the second and the box was in good condition but the laser housing and guard were broken. I returned this one as well and received the third one. It came in excellent condition and was able to align the fence to the blade. Additionally the vertical setting was off but was able to adjust with no problem. I have been using it now for a about 2-months and seems to be a very good saw. There is some minor deflection though when you try and crosscut a wide piece at an angle. Overall it seems to meet my expectation.
