              Makita is one of my favorite brands and my absolute favorite cordless tool. Always dependable, reliable and powerful. Friends use Dewalt but I tried that brand and found it wanting. Undependable battries plus so many different sizes required. Love Makita and the one-size-fits -all even if I have to double the batteries i.e.36 volts. Great prices and service, too!

              This saw cuts square out of the box.. this saws power ratings are legit.. people get confused about miter saw.. if ya want clean trim job get this.. do not use sliding miter for interior trim a sliding miter is for construction and does not hold a true square.. the 12 inch version of this saw is very good as well

              I was in a bind when my Milwaukee miter saw decided to break down after 25 years of constant use. I bought this saw in a hurry to keep me going alone. It seems all right but One thing I do not like is no soft start on this particular one. If they say it has the soft start, I am not impressed. When you First start the saw ,it’s at maximum rpm right there and then. Saw wants to literally jump off the worktable. Oh well, I’ll have this in my collection but it won’t be my first go to Saw to use.

              Too early to tell for sure if this saw is up to the former Makita level of quality. So far it cuts well and works mostly well. When I unlock the bevel (via lever in back), the arm has some front-to-back play that I don't remember noticing in past versions of this model (which I've used on and off for 20+ years). When I unboxed the saw, it had a nick on the angle adjustment lever/knob, and had grease smudges and blobs in various places. Nothing affecting function, but made me wonder about quality control at the factory. Time will tell.
