Makita LS0816F/2 240V 216mm Slide Compound Saw

I considered purchasing a used better model Makita mitre saw. However, I was only going to do some panelling around the house. I decided to try this one out and have been very pleased. I changed the blade it comes with for a 100 teeth one. Cuts have been accurate and done the job I needed of it. I did let the decorator use it, since he was putting some dado rail up. He did an angled cut and cut the end off the upper fence! Note, when the blade is angled, the upper fence should be removed. Changing the angles is really easy and the shadow line of the blade is useful. The saw itself is also not overly heavy, so can be picked up and moved. It was too bright outside, so I moved the saw inside to see the shadow line. Happy with the purchase.

It is a very capable saw. Just be aware it needs a lot of space as it slides back (My mistake in not realising this), so i had to get the stand. That means i got to do way more than originally planned .

Fantastic value! , brilliant cut, superbly accurately, way better than my old Dewalt chop saw.

Very good quality and accurate cuts. It has a LED which transmits the line of cut onto the workpiece so shows cutting line which is very useful for accuracy. After trying to other cheaper manufacturers sliding compound saws, I should have just ordered this one instead. Good value for money

Absolute winner. I have never had one before, so can't comment whether it is the best. But for me the guide light is so useful. Really a good buy for the money £200.

Very happy with this purchase

Perfect to carry around good solid saw

Very happy with this purchase. Much better than my old one. Motor noise slightly quieter than the predecessor. Smooth action and all checked out as accurate. Quite big but not too heavy. Electrical cord 'store away' badly designed as the plug has nothing to hook onto of which means the cord starts to unravel. Not too much of a big deal but when the manufacturer uses the cord storage as a selling point....you kind of expect a genius solution! Would def recommend this saw.

Makita, c'est Makita. Du semi pro voire pro à prix raisonnable.

Fijne zaagmachine, werkt eenvoudig en makkelijk in te stellen, mooie zaagsnede

Ist nur gelegentlich im Einsatz, aber für den Preis wirklich top.

Superbe scie avec le led de couleur noir pour les tracés. Un travail d’orfèvre

Non posso dire nulla su questa sega, leggera, precisa e con un ottima lama. I led utilizzabili per vedere dove avverranno il tagli sono perfetti anche se dopo qualche ora di lavoro non riesco più a vedere bene l'ombra della lama, ma credo sia solo sporcizia accumulata.
