very good

I am quite happy with this saw. I have used DeWalt, Hitachi,& Bosh 12" sliders and think My Makita is as good or better than the rest. I don't love the bevel adjustment, and it could have a bigger table to support wide crown moulding & such ( EZ to fix with a custom stand, or table.) The cut is super clean even with the often junky factory blade. Cuts white melimine or prefinished crown with vitually no chips or burns. I wish the dust collection worked better when on a shop vac, but this may be the nature of all chop saws. Perhaps the Fesstool is better but for $1500. it damn well should be. The Makita folding stand is good although rather heavy & could use larger softer wheels/tires. If I had it to do over again I don't think I would buy another saw.

Great Saw

I been using this saw to to cut both small moldings and pressure treated 4x4s. Performance is top notch. The box arrived a little beat up which concerned me initially, but the saw was fine and all the parts accounted for. My only gripe is the lack of a laser. I added the 22 dollar Irwin, installed it in minutes and it was dead nuts on from the get go. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
