Makita LS1214FL
$1,115.00
Released September, 2005
The Pros:Good power output, can handle most jobs. Side subfence makes shaving off small bevels much easier. Setup is fast, takes 10 minutes at most from opening the box to operation.
The Cons:Adjusting the laser can be tricky. Soft start is a little strange at first, takes some getting used to. Blade guard is flimsy, bends into the blade, easy to hack through.
The Makita LS1214FL is a mid-grade is a 12" compound miter saw (workbench) equipped with a laser and a flourescent light. The Makita LS1214FL saw features a built-in laser designed to accurately portray micro fine adjustments to allow a clear path line for the blade; a special switch allows the laser to be seen separate from the blade of the saw.
