Heres 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 ones 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 wed change on this model is moving the rear bevel lever up front, but its not a big detractor. It does take a little muscle to set a bevel angle, but again, its not much of a mark against a saw that performs so beautifully. We like the vertical clamp on this saw; its 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 dont see often: a built-in fluorescent light. It illuminates the workpiece cut line exactly where you want it, and its always right at your fingertips. Makita says the bulb will last some 2,000 hours, but we didnt 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.
