- Buy the Bosch! Review by Opposite of Square
-
Performance Features Price Value Quality Good luck cutting anything square on this saw. It has plenty of levers, set screws and adjustments which offer nothing more than a waste your time and provide crude adjustment if that. Dust collector catches less than 10% of dust. The instruction manual is also horrible, tiny diagrams, translated (poorly) from another language making it even more frustrating when trying to square the bevel angle etc. Out of the box the fence tips were not flush. I have the stand also, another poorly designed Makita product. I've tried calling Makita's customer service and have gotten nowhere.
