Here’s a formidable contender in the compound miter saw market with all the features
you want in a high-end saw, plus one.
We had high expectations for this saw, and we were not disappointed. Cutting is smooth,
quiet, accurate and completely free of vibration, and the soft start is a nice feature. The
15-amp motor delivers 3,200 rpm, and electronic speed control maintains consistency
under different loads.
A common miter saw beef for us is a hard-to-read scale, but this one’s large, clear and
easy on the eyes, which we really appreciate. There are nine positive stops: 0 degrees,
and left and right at 15, 22.5, 31.6 and 45 degrees, and bevels can be set from 0 to 45
degrees left and right. Capacities are great, too – in the upright and center position, the
saw will cut workpieces up to 4-1/2 inches high and 12-1/8 inches wide. A 45-degree left
bevel still lets you cut stock 2-5/8 inches high and 12 inches wide, accommodating even
the widest trim and moldings. The only thing we’d change on this model is moving the
rear bevel lever up front, but it’s not a big detractor. It does take a little muscle to set a
bevel angle, but again, it’s not much of a mark against a saw that performs so beautifully.
We like the vertical clamp on this saw; it’s quick to adjust and holds like a champ. Even
the dust collection system, usually a notch above ineffective on most miter saws, is
impressive, keeping the cutting line surprisingly clean. The thing we found coolest about
this saw is a small detail, but one you don’t see often: a built-in fluorescent light. It
illuminates the workpiece cut line exactly where you want it, and it’s always right at your
fingertips. Makita says the bulb will last some 2,000 hours, but we didn’t stick around to
check that out. Take care, though, as the bulb does get quite warm.
There are a lot of compound miters on the market, but this one is definitely at the head of
the class. Contractors and exacting woodworkers will love it.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
