Great Portable Miter Saw
5 Stars
Great Portable Miter Saw
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.

Reviewed in India on February 3, 2021
I preferre Makita over DeWalt only because of its non thermocol eco-friendly packaging. Mitre saw was not securely packed inside the box. I saw three depression marks on the left side of the fence and scratches on the machined surface as you can see in the photos. I have ordered a replacement. Seller personally called me and inquired about the problem. My replacement order is received and I am happy with it. Motor rating is 7.2 Amp.
