  • Powerful, Lightweight Saw—With a Few Shortcomings
Size: Makita LS1040 10 Compound Miter Saw Style: Without Laser
This is a well-made, powerful yet lightweight saw, easily transported to a work site and well-suited to a small home workshop such as my own. I have other Makita power tools, and have been happy with their quality, so I was favorably inclined to the LS1040. The only shortcomings I've identified so far concern engineering and design decisions. For some reason, Makita did not set the blade to be able to cut all the way through a 1x6; there's a little remnant of about 1/8". So close; why not go all the way? (The specs give the maximum cutting length as 5-1/8" but it's actually a bit more than that.) Initially I felt this to be a major design flaw (and it's still a missed opportunity in my book), but I realized that the workaround is just to elevate your 1x6 slightly with a 1/4" shim (making sure to clamp the work for stability). The other dimensional issue is that the vertical vise doesn't close tightly enough to clamp a 1x member without an extra pice of blocking. You may want to do this anyway to avoid vise marks on your work, but it would be nice not to have to fumble with the extra piece of blocking where a vise mark was not an issue. On the whole, however, this is a solid, compact piece of equipment that, if past experience is any indication, I hope to get years of service from. PS: Contrary to the description, it does not come with a light. ... show more

  • Somewhat disappointed.
Size: Makita LS1040 10 Compound Miter Saw Style: Without Laser
The degree markings on the miter dial are just a sticker that's glued on. The numbers started rubbing off the first week I had it. Even my cheap $100 Metabo has enough quality to etch the numbers into aluminum. And then the bevel lock lever on the back side hits the dust bag. And then the four bolt holes in each corner so you can fasten it to a miter saw stand for some reason beyond any common sense one of those holes is not in alignment with the other so you can only tighten down three corners. And the shape of it doesn't allow for a washer to fit nice and snug. I expected better from Makita. If I were to do it over again I wouldn't buy this model. ... show more

  • Seems Like I Win Gift Giving This Year w/ This Product
Size: Makita LS1040 10 Compound Miter Saw Style: Without Laser
I bought this as a Father’s Day gift. I did my due diligence and researched these things pretty heavily as tools are not in my arsenal of knowledge. I was concerned - wasn’t sure how much use he would be able to get out of it - or if he purposes for it even, but seemed like a nice manly gift to give on Father’s Day. Since receiving he has been working or project after project so it seems we are getting use out of it - but he will just randomly start a conversation about it and how nice it is (usually around feature x,y or z). Currently him and my son are building a skateboard ramp - so I guess possibilities are endless with this. Overall, from what I can tell, it’s built nice, blade is lasting, easy to move around and there is not dust all over the place. I am glad we went with this product - I don’t n ke if any other one would have had such a positive response! ... show more

  • Resurrect a fence with my buddy Makita.
Size: Makita LS1040 10 Compound Miter Saw Style: Without Laser
This is my first mitre saw. I bought it to replace a fence knocked down by a snow plow. It worked well with pressure treated lumber as well as PVC. I really love this saw and plan to use it extensively to help maintain our hundred year old house. Amazon lists it as made in the USA. I did not believe that and sure enough it was made in China. That being said I did not think there was any compromise in terms of quality. This is a great, easy to use tool. An additional note: I followed the directions to change the blade and ran into a problem. The bot holding the blade assembly together was a real challenge to remove. I tried the provided socket wrench and in addition a crescent wrench, Vice-Grip pliers, a ratcheting socket wrench, all to no avail. Finally I used a rubber mallet to force the provided socket wrench to loosen the bolt. A few wacks with the hammer did it. I share this with any other buyers who might run into the same problem. Still love the saw in any event. ... show more

  • Great Portable Miter Saw
Size: Makita LS1040 10 Compound Miter Saw Style: Without Laser
I’ve had this saw for a couple of months now and so far it’s been great. I wanted a 10” miter saw for the portability. I am a carpenter by trade and do a good amount of trim work. A 10” saw like this has the ability to handle about 90-95 percent of the trim that will be installed in a typical middle class home. I know this has been observed by others already, but the saw is not quiet. The best way I’ve heard/read someone describe the way it sounds it that it “starts with a bang”. But it’s accurate, light weight, well made, and reasonably priced. I’d definitely recommend this saw to a professional or DIYer. ... show more

  • Safety is on the top - good for right or left handed sawing!
Size: Makita LS1040 10 Compound Miter Saw Style: Without Laser
I upgraded my older [not compound] Makita 10" with this one. It fit into the cut off table just like I was hoping. I always upgrade the blade. Older saw still works, it is relegated to my barn now. New one is light weight Mine was not damaged but there is no indication on the box as to which side is up so - it does move around in the box and there is just cardboard triangles to keep it in place - they do NOT and the bottom of the box was messed up from all the movement arriving upside down. ... show more
