Also, I wish they'd dump the linear bearing and go to a copolymer bearing. I use them on my linear rod systems (panel saw, router sled, etc), and there's no rotating ball bearing or oil/grease needed. AND you do not need to worry about sawdust/debris build up. I'd love to take every miter saw, pull their best features, and build them into 1 single supersaw. Lol.
Great video. If I may though. When you tilt the blade and check with the angle finder you have to make sure the angle finder is directly in the middle of the blade. If it rotates even the slightest forward or backward it will throw the measurement off. At 90 degrees it doesn’t matter where the angle finder sits on the blade. I only say anything because I don’t want people to think that Makita did not calibrate the saw good. My guess is it was within a .10 degree of accurate at all angles. Thanks!
I've been trying to find the differences between the 37v and 40v versions! Thanks so much. I have 18v stuff already but I am wondering if I should start my 40v collection with this, to spend the extra (I need a battery and a charger) to get some minor improvements seems a little silly 😁
Great vid! Do you know the dept of the back? If I wanted to plan to buy this saw but I'm building a mitler station now, how deep would I want to make the miter station to accomidate for this saw?
I have the 10” corded MAKITA miter saw and I feel like mine vibrates a lot the blade seem fine. This started happening right out the box. Should cuts feel smooth or is the vibrating normal
best miter saw makita 40v, question i see you using a dewalt miter stand for the makita saw, how the stand is good or bad? OR i should buy a makita stand?
Check the angle of the fence. Can it be calibrated? Because I've seen a lot of Makita SCMS fences that are not at 90... and they couldn't be adjusted/calibrated. So I'm curious if they ever fixed that.
@Aaron O'Connor (I'm not sure about the 8-¼".. ) we're you able to calibrate the fence though? Their corded a and 36v model 12" , the fence could not be calibrated and they were almost always 88°-89°. It's a notorious issue that makita has ignored for years. I'd take a square to shows. At the makita booth, the reps would be so uncomfortable and say nothing when we'd bring it up. I was hoping they made the fence base properly for the xgt, but I'm yet to see it up close.
Wish Makita would consider making this saw 20 lbs lighter. I’d pay a lot more for less weight. I’m guessing they could shed weight using composite materials and using machines aluminum with structural shape that is stronger than cast aluminum.
They make an 8-1/2 version with similar cross cut capacity. Obviously cut up against the Fence vertical is a different story. They probably think that’s the one for people who are going for portability

I just got this experience onsite that makita saws tend to fall apart over time, where as dewalt just stays together and keeps on going. My main observation was when I was working in a frame and truss prenail plant, makitas fell apart, went out of square, blade guards fell off, plastic mitre adjustment you mentioned falls out. Dewalt on the other hand just goes and goes. Both models were corded. Just my 2c.
Been using one 12”for 18 years a sexy flexy since it came out and another one for who knows. They all are still accurate after cutting miles of millwork.
@@4thewinak- This comes as a shock to me. I am an absolute novice, someone who has never even used these tools, but I am doing a lot of research now and I have never heard that Makitas don’t stand up to wear and tear. How disappointing.
That LED light button on the Makita is a poorly thought-out design. It's far too cumbersome to press a membrane button. The LED switch should have been a momentary flip switch like that found on Milwaukee's 7.25" cordless saw. It's very easy to activate the LED switch on the Milwaukee saw.
Thats a bummer. I got the new 12” dewalt 60v thats pretty loud but much lighter than this saw. I have the Milwaukee and the light switch os really easy to engage. I just noticed the dewalts I really habe to press down hard. Minor but actually kinda majorly annoying
@@rickfrey6944 sooner or later. My 8 years old out door used Dewalt mitre saw has shining sliding rail like new. But one year old indoor used 40V 216mm Makita mitre saw has some rust dots on its rail. Shame.
I have the 8-1/2” 40v and it’s a beautiful piece of engineering!
He need more views his videos have so much information I wanna hear

A Makita mitre saw with straight rails. Yay! 😁

I got my Makita 40V 12 inch miter saw Gen 1 & I absolutely love it.
Theres already a gen 2 in 40 volt?
Correction, this isn't LS004 in europe, but LS003!
The LS004 is the 10 inch mitre saw.
Purchased one 8 months ago instead of the Festool.. love my makita, dead accurate
Would be nice if u can review the Bosch profactor 12in miter saw
I have the 10” version. It’s ok but I would have a dewalt if they offered a 10” slider in North America.
Good Job

Sounds like something is wrong with it . Maybe blade is unbalanced
Hi, makita a good tool for you? I'm undecided between makita and ls1219 and kapex120.
2x8s are 7 1/4" to 7 3/8" so will this saw cut them standing up as demonstrated?
best miter saw makita 40v, question i see you using a dewalt miter stand for the makita saw, how the stand is good or bad? OR i should buy a makita stand?
Brother, is there a replacement part of the detent adjustment button? I didn't realize it was damaged since I first used it 3 years ago.
Are you talking about the black plastic lock lever? i believe that's part number 457656-4. amzn.to/3TcO27R
@4thewinak thank you. Now how to install it 🤔
I just bought the new dewalt flexvolt but this is a good looking saw too.
Check the angle of the fence.
Can it be calibrated? Because I've seen a lot of Makita SCMS fences that are not at 90... and they couldn't be adjusted/calibrated. So I'm curious if they ever fixed that.
The saw can be calibrated. I just calibrated my little 8 1/4".
It's done the same way

Between the Festool battery, this saw and the DeWalt Flex volt which is the absolute best and why?
Get back to work Rick😂😂😂
@@IMPACT-NATION lmaooooo, I got you bro.
Can any please tell the difference other than the laser between this saw and the 12ls19?
Looking to upgrade my Milwaukee 71/4 mitre
What would you choose
XGT 12” or Dewalt new 781 60v
Saludos cordiales desde Ecuador excelente máquina me puede ayudar con el origen de fabricación y si hay de 110_120, voltios en ese modelo??,, gracias x respuesta en español x favor
Where in europe can this be purchased
The axel glide is the smoothest
Is the detention plate made of aluminium or has it been upgraded?
It appears to have been upgraded from the previous gen. Doesn’t seem like aluminum.
Wait a minute is this saw a 1 year warranty or a 3 year warranty..... For the price it should be 3 year but I keep seeing 1 year
Is it corded or battery
Any new vids coming soon?
New vids posted every Friday.

makita is better quality compared to Dewalt

One year warranty is the reason I don't buy Makita anymore.
Have you experienced many failures with Makita tools?
When you own a Makita mitre saw. You will have rust sliding rail within a year.
No rust on mine. Maybe if you keep it outside.

That's too bad. I have the 36V.
I had the DW780.
