Pros & Cons
Pros
Makita delivers excellent performance, as always. Excellent factory setup. It’s accurate, safe, lightweight and works very well.
Solid little mitre saw - does the job. Factory blade is quite good and worth hanging on to even if you immediately switch it out for something with a higher tooth count. Great for at home at a great price.
Highlights
Quality
Basic but good for the price and seems very well built
My only issue with the saw is the safety switch
Competitiveness
Unit is easy to carry as well as it is lighter than older models
