  • Nicely constructed, poorly designed.
Size: 14" Style: Makita
I had high hopes for this saw but it turned out to be a bust. If you're looking for 90 degree cuts only then the saw is ok, for angled cuts it's not well designed. Pros: Table is stamped but done nicely. The arm is well cast. Spring is heavy duty. Fence material is pretty thick. Overall the tool is well made. Cons: Unfortunately the fence on this tool is not well designed for 45 degree cuts. When the fence is set anywhere outside of 90 degrees, almost any level of tightening on the screw clamp will shift the angle of the fence regardless of how tight the bolts holding it in place are. Also at the time of this writing the description for the tool is wrong. It claims that the LW1401 comes with a tool-less fence. This is not the case as the fence uses 2 bolts and a wrench to secure it in place. The LW1400 is the model that has a tool-less fence. Guessing someone copied the same description text on both models. My saw also only came with two out of four rubber feet, which sucks... The handle is not the best design either. When the tool is at work bench height the handle is positioned very badly and is uncomfortable and awkward to use. Looks like they intended this to only be used at a job site on the floor. Overall: This really could have been an awesome saw if they'd just put a nice fence on it. The main reason I went with the Makita over the DeWalt was because the fence looked more reliable (unfortunately my local hardware store doesn't stock the Makita so I didn't see any of these issues until I bought it). If you're only looking to do 90 degree cuts then I'd still recommend the DeWalt based on the better handle design but this saw would do fine. But for anyone looking to do reliable and quick 45 degree cuts, you'll want to look elsewhere. ... show more

  • Short version: don't buy this thing it's really really bad
Size: 14" Style: with Tool-Less Wheel Change
Long Version: I saw the reviews describing out of square cuts and just assumed it was people who didn't understand how to set up the miter fence accurately... WRONG. The blade itself is out of square on the vertical plane!!! Several test cuts confirmed this. Even without this issue, this saw is INCREDIBLY poor quality. The blade guard is a flimsy piece of garbage, the base is a total joke, the clamp is so inaccurate and loose that metal stock slides under it if it is anything under about 3/16ths of an inch. It vomits sparks and hot embers everywhere while barely cutting through the work piece and every single time any metal stock comes in contact with the appallingly-low-grade silver painted stamped metal base it scratches and marks up the paint like crazy and within just a few test cuts this thing looks pretty beat to death. Most importantly though, my sample did not cut straight. Vertical cuts through 1/8" x 4" bar stock reveal the blade is off by a few degrees vertically. A call to Makita USA customer service revealed that it is completely not adjustable in any way! So back it goes!! I bought the Fein the same day I processed this return and WOW! The Fein Slugger 14" just blows this thing completely away. I mean it is an exceptional professional grade tool - which I expected from the Makita brand and was SORELY let down in the EXTREME! The sad truth is that the big three (Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee) have all decided to produce their own versions of these cheapo 200 dollar range abrasive metal chop saws and the reviews on all of them are pretty bad. I suppose some are accurate but it seems the samples are super inconsistent. I feel i have better things to do than serve as QC for a multi-million dollar international company who is too cheap to test and regulate what they are making themselves - Sorry, not my job Makita dudes!!! If you feel the same way save yourself some headaches and time and just spring for a real metal cutting saw - there really is no comparison to the Fein. Maybe your experience will vary but my take-away is a resounding, "Shame on YOU Makita... SHAME SHAME SHAME... embarassingly poor quality "tool" - if you could really even call it that." What a joke... really sad they have fallen this far... ... show more

  • Read my review!
Size: 14" Style: Makita
I just want to say the other person who said that the saw cuts a bit off is correct! I am a welder and part time fab I saw that review and thought maybe the fence wasnt square so I used a 12" speed square to square up and still didn't fix so when cutting 1/4 tube or angle iron it will be slightly off at the end. Ive tried soft pressure med pressure hard pressure when cutting all has the same results unless you cut thin steel. (and yes I leveled everything on my table so the steel was level when being cut) OVER ALL DECENT BUT NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH TO RELY ON WILL ALWAYS NEED TOUCH UP WITH YOUR GRINDER FOR TIGHT FIT UPS. I am also a die hard makita fan so this made me slightly upset. ... show more

  • Better than I expected.
Size: 14" Style: with Tool-Less Wheel Change
For the price, and based on a few reviews, I expected an "adequate" tool. It was better than I expected, starting with the weight. This saw is well built with a metal base and steel clamp/miter components Yet, when the motor is locked down it is easy to move.. Very powerful motor, makes short work of thick walled tubing. I haven't cut any flat stock yet, so I have no input there. Like others have said, be wary of your background as it makes sparks aplenty. The tool-less wheel mount is also a plus. No need to worry about losing the wrench. Seems to hold the wheel very tightly. If you need a handy cutoff saw for occasional jobs or projects, I highly recommend this Makita saw! ... show more

  • Nice machine
Size: 14" Style: Makita
I noticed on several reviews that there are only 3 rubber feet, same here, but in my case I don't need the feet cause mine is mounted on a stand.. --- anyone that is willing to pay postage I'll send them a rubber foot.

  • frustrating inaccurate cuts, off by a 1/4 " . expensive to pay for crooked cuts.
Size: 14" Style: with Tool-Less Wheel Change
The cuts are off by a 1/4". I thought it was the blade bending/flexing. I thought i was cutting too fast. i thought i was cutting too slow. i thought it was because i was cutting 45 degree angles. no matter what i do , it cuts crooked, even when i cut straight pipe. I did not unpack it until after 30 days. So my return policy is done! miso madd. Disappointed with this product. i paid all that money for something that doesn't work properly. I have to grind all my cuts. what a waste. i should just use a hacksaw instead. don't buy this tool. ... show more
