Welcome to the wonderful world of Makita 🙂
It's about time ❤️😁
Scott Brown here!
Luv watch u to Scott ...nice work u do also
I bought the 10" 40v saw after seeing it on Scott's channel.. no regrets.. (except maybe wishing it was a 12") - cuts so nice! Mine wasn't quite square out of the box though - did have to dial it in.
Once I saw the makita tool, I knew to expect a comment from Scott brown 👌🏼🔥
I've been here since your DFW days. I bet I watched your original video on wainscot and crown moulding 10 times. Listened to EXACTLY what you said.....went out bought my first Dewalt Cordless Dual Miter Saw and Table Saw exactly like your set up and went to work. It took me a few months, but i install crown in my entire house and finished the project with walls of wainscot throughout. You were a great teacher and gave me the confidence to take it all on! Never underestimate a girl and her power tools!
You go girl!
You're your best contractor..😎👍
Carla 👏👏👏👏👏
Amen, Carla-me, too! I’ve learned so much from him!
this saw doesn't have an attachment to plug in to the wall. Dewalt does🙄
As a mechanic since 2004 I highly recommend makita impact drivers and rest of makitas tool lineup.
Makita honestly hasn't steered me wrong
I’ve absolutely been watching you since you were DFW crown. Your videos are amazing and so thorough!! Watched your 63 degree cutting by starting off with using two 45 cut boards. 😳😳this construction woman in North Pole AK…is getting so many tips and tricks from you!! Thank you for taking time to teach us so many tricks!!! 🥰
We started with the Makita track saw (after being heavily influenced by Scott Brown) and we’re now Makita mad (in a good way). Great choice. 👍🏽
If my Festool ever packs up, that's the way to go for me.
After watching a lot of these tool comparison vids I’m def saving for a Mikita track saw.
Hi RICHARD, I have the 10" model & love it! But only after some slight modifications out-of-the-box. I had to adjust the rails to get them to slide perfectly square on a long cross cut.
Get yourself a Stene detent plate.
I love the soft startup and how smooth it is to run. It doesn't jump on Startup like the 780.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Rick, I started reading through the comments to find yours, so to speak. I also have the 10” version and have the same issue that you describe. A full width cut is square to the fence at the front and back but dips off square in the middle. Can you describe how you managed to correct this problem? I otherwise love this saw but can’t use it for precision work.
@@torstenhansen4308 HI, look up a video by Builds & Stuff on TH-cam.
Makita saw curve cut. With a little patience you can get it to cut nice.
@Rick Frey. Thank you so much, I watched and will try that today. Hit or miss for sure but with a little patience….
@Torsten Hansen No problem. If you twist the rails down, it moves the blade to the right and vice versa. It doesn't take much movement at all. Use the widest board you can cross cut on and just keep checking it each time until near-perfect.
I have the same saw. I would recommend getting the larger 6.0 batteries 4 of ‘‘em would keep you rocking all day long. You can also adjust the which side of the saw blade the laser falls on with the little dial on the top front of guard. It unscrews and can be pushed to left or right and retightened.
The 6.0 batteries aren't cheap but they last forever.
The 6 amp ones wear out quicker than the 5 amp ones though. The 5s are rock solid.
this saw doesn't have an attachment to plug in to the wall. Dewalt does🙄
Welcome to team teal. I have the 10'' version and I love mine. Been using Makita tools for over 20 years and I have had very few issues. Im on the backside of my working days and Makita has made my life easier and more productive. I agree that the saw is heavy. As far as power and consistency goes, its worth the trade off.
Congrats on the new house and setting up your shop.
I was here in the beginning of dfw crown. I found it cool when you were showing the router and bits when you where making crown and wainscoting. I can’t wait for you to organize and start making in the new garage/workshop.
Watching the dfw crown channel is how i learned to do crown as a teenager. Glad hes still making awesome helpful content
Bought a Makita corded 1/2” chuck drill with percussion feature in 1979. Started my carpentry/building business in 1980. The drill has been through hell and the switch is original. Never a problem. 42 years of service and counting. Congrats on new home and your channel. You ROCK. Dave Heitman in Omaha dba Dave the Carpenter
I have an older version of the Makita miter saw, love it. It has been used and abused, still works great. The Makita charger runs air through the battery while charging, which allows them to charge faster.
It is also to maintain the health of the battery for a fast charging environment... that is the main reason they blow air through the battery... Heat hurts batteries, which is why Milwaukee has a lot of issues with their system under heavier load applications being limited to 18V
I own this saw and the only downside I’ve found has been the removable fences. Having to unscrew the fence and move it to the side anytime you do a mitre drives me up the wall. If only they’d put the sliding fence of the new makita drop saws on this one. I will say this saw stays very accurate with transportation. I haven’t been gentle on it and it has stayed true with going from job site to job site. Enjoy mate 👍
First off your not taking the fences off for a miter cut .. you’ll take them off for a bevel cut
Wow this video is super exciting, it’s literally like watching excited kids open presents on Christmas morning! Congratulations, and I hope that saw makes you a dump truck full of money!
I hate to be that guy, but I told yous! 🤣🤣
All that dump truck full of money you're going to make is going to take up a lot your time , if you need someone to count it ,I'm looking for a job

Hi, I’m a finish carpenter, on my 23rd year in the industry, I actually have and use this exact miter saw AND I LOVE IT!! I’ve been using it for just under a year now and the only down side is it’s heavy, other then that it cuts true on every different miter.
Makita makes a seriously good cordless miter saw. Can’t wait to hear what you think in 6 months. Grats on the new home!
...except for that Bluetooth (un)connection that he's going to have to screw around with all the time...
👍🏻🍻🍺👍🏻
Man i had the same first impressions when I first set up my corded version of this saw. Sadly it went badly down hill quick from there. I took it to my makita repair center and they said they were well aware of the major issues with these models but couldn't do anything. They just suggested I wait for a revised model to come out and buy that. Not even a refund. But im told the battery models and 10" models are problem free.
@@FreeLander5280 Hmmm. Mine has been getting used heavily almost daily for almost a year and with no issues. What was wrong with yours?
The winning point must be the orientation of the slider bars: pointing forwards, which allows the saw to be placed close to a back wall! And the portability of course!
Chargers: Milwaukee only charges one battery at a time even though it has room for two! If the Makita can charge both batteries simultaneously that's another winning point!
It’s a natural high. So happy to see some one express what we feel when we are fully satisfied with are miter saw. You knocked it out of the park. Thank you
"our miter saw".
His smile when he first turns it on, a happy man right there
Have the same model…luckily bought at a pallet store…got for half off…had everything but the blade. Sold a 10” Makita for years but sold it when sold home. Have a 7.25 Dewalt cordless miter and it does fine for 95% of work but when it can’t…it really can’t. You’re right…this is a beast!! Won’t be moving mine much, but about to get a mobile stand for it. Enjoy!! Look forward to seeing any tips you have in the future.
Been watching since way back when you were using the miter saw without the blade guard.
Fun to watch you grow and learned alot of good tips.
A few POTENTIAL ISSUES on this saw:
1. Might not cut straight - This is a weird one on these saws. The head doesn't always travel parallel to the two slide bars. You end up with a shallow C-shaped cut. The "fix" is to unscrew the (tight) allen head bolts at the front end cap of the rail, put a board between the rails and twist slightly, re-tighten the screws, cut a new piece and repeat until it cus straight on a slide.
2. The aluminum miter plate notches wear quickly - You can't do much about this to prevent it but be careful when turning past the notches. Stene wooodwork does make a stainless replacement, but I think it is close to $100. I believe replacement plates from Makita are much less.
3. Dust Collection increases depth requirement - May need a bot mroe depth with dust collection in place...and in a home shop, dust collection can be a lot more desirable.
4. Need to remove fences to bevel - Not a defect, but perhaps annoying.
5. Laser not as great as shadow line
As others have noted, Makita introduced its 40 volt XGT platform this year. They have an 8 1/2" and 10" model out and I suspect the 12" is on its way. Honestly, there aren't a lot of differences on the 10" (other than the battery) which is essentially the same as this 12" but smaller, but they do appear to have addressed the aluminum miter plate issue and have converted to a shadow line instead of laser. Of course, the XGT platform is also commanding a hefty price premium!
good info here, I found this with mine, I got the stainless indent plate from Stene woodwork too.
Well said.
The sliding rail will rust in one and half years. That is MAKITA.
If you have a AC dust extractor, just plug the makita aws adapter into the pto port of the extractor.
Here since the start Richard. Congratulations on the house. Makita would do well to send you their entire range of tools. Amazing advertisement. Keep up the good work.
He's a talent they just might do that God bless.
Awesome! That sounds like the dream miter!! But what would you recommend that’s not as $$ pricey for a DIYer? thanks!!
Hi Richard. I’ve been watching since the DFW days. Still love the content. I’m a FESTOOL guy myself but best of luck with the mitre saw and welcome to the land of cabinet making.
Mark from Dublin
Get the Bosch gravity stand for it. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it for that saw because of it’s weight. It will make you happy to cut 16’ crown or base molding in any driveway.
This is the same feeling as showing my friends a badass new metal song and they start head banging uncontrollably.
Awesome video, whatever happened with your Milwaukee M18 12” miter saw that you bought when you first got the cut hub? What were your thoughts on that miter saw?
I have been here since you were DFW crown, and I still watch and I think you guys are just awesome.
I've been using a Makita cordless 10" miter for years now and I like it. I bought it for the front mounted bevel and the position of the rails.
I know you'll create fantastic woodwork in your shop!
I got the drill and impactor then the lawnmower and now have got pretty much all their 18v tools. Got a ton of batteries and what I like is that they all fit all my tools and lawn tools. Go atleast 4 amp. I got a mix of 4 amp and 5 amp. love these tools.
Been watching since the DFW days. I really like your content, I have the 10"model and absolutely love it! Keep up the good work brother!
Yes sir. I started watching your videos when you were down crown. Followed along with many of your installs and tips. Learned a lot. Even the simple Home Depot pencil pack with drill based sharpener.
Shes a DIVA and her name is MAKITA😍
I actually love the 80’s/90’s look of their tools, thats what got me interested in KITA tools in the first place 😛
Still a Dewalt guy with two 10” and one 12”. I try to keep the 12” in the shop due to the weight but good to have for large crown at a job sight. I’ve been looking for another job saw. 10” Dewalt is still my favorite but can’t get the sliding compound anymore. Love your channel. Congrats on the new home!
I remember those dfw no blade guard days for sure. You came a long ways bro great video congrats on all your success and I hope you have even more moving forward.
I just ordered this same saw with the vac. Its replacing my 11 yr old 12" Makita. Cant wait to be fully cordless
Did you consider the Bosch Axial-Glide mitre saw? I believe that will be my next mitre saw in the future.
That’s what I’ve used for a year now. It’s my forever saw!!
I too have the Bosch glide. I also have MAKITA. There’s no comparison. Bosch is the best in the industry. Period!! I have a small cabinet shop for the past 21 years.
Bosch is totally amazing. Go try one out, you’ll agree!
I used to have a used beat up set of Makita tools and I miss them a lot. They got stolen and haven't been able to replace within my budget(I'm a homeowner, not a carpenter).
I do remember the DFW name when I gutted my kitchen. The knowledge really helped me avoid mistakes & keep costs down.
I was there! I’ve been a student for a long time. And I’m excited to see another side of your woodworking skills :-)
I ditched Dewalt cordless tools years ago, and went to Makita.
Not sure I like the idea of a cordless miter saw, there is always a place to plug a cord in, especially at a home shop.
The Makita 36 volt circular saw is pretty nice, this Miter saw looks pretty nice.
How accurate is the laser?
Just bought the Makita cordless track saw, it’s amazing!!
We have this saw and we pair it with the Makita dust collector, as it has a plug in for corded tools that will automatically start the vacuum for you when cutting.
I've had that saw for 3 or 4 years now. Love it just wish the detent plate wasn't aluminum. Oh yeah, keep using the blades it came with! Much better battery life with them
@@lorenrickey5481 Stenewoodwork. I have one & love it.
@@rickfrey6944 +1
There was a guy selling a titanium upgrade a few years ago when I got my 10”, unfortunately I don’t have the website bookmarked to share anymore. I agree, those Makita blades pair nicely with their cordless tools and last for a lot of cuts if you listen to the saw and let the blade do the work.
@@travisboles2646 the manufacturer is above, It is stainless, not titanium.
@@kizzjd9578 where can you get them from? Do you have a link please?
Just curious… What other make/model saw did you consider before pulling the trigger on this one? Please don’t say Kapex 😂. I’m considering the Bosch 12” DB axial glide.
I’ve had the Dewalt 779 which I converted to a 780. Solid performer but I still feel like I settled. So now I’m having that new tool anxiety that I know I’m going to eventually succumb to.
Any thoughts on the Bosch?
You should have bought the Bosch 12" glide miter saw. It is not cordless, but is way better than any other brand I've used so far (DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Ryobi, etc)
The Bosch one is very precise and dead-accurate. Just saying...
I just joined the makita family and spent a couple thousand on the 18v tools. happy customer right here. beautiful saw you got!
It is a great saw …
Only thing is it has a laser who uses lasers anymore. A Light with a shadow line is way better and more accurate. regular thin kerf
All work with a light
Exactly.
In 1984 I purchased a 6” Makita table saw. Bought it because back then it was all I could afford. I have used it to build bookcases, shelving, remodeled a house, built a house, built furniture. Still using it today. Rip fence was true out of the box and has not needed adjustment in 33 years. Miter gauge cuts exact 90 and 45 degree cuts accurately. I’ve been tempted many times to ditch it for a new 10” saw, but can’t seem to let it go. Been a great tool. Maybe my son will dump it when I’m gone… or maybe not?
I have the corded version and I love it; I'll bring it with me on larger trim installations even though it is quite heavy. I mostly use it for building pre hung doors.
It's a wonderful machine have seen here in my country, but point is I have an ls1216 , but with longer rails, I see your joy keep focused.
A mechanical relay-activated outlet attachment that starts your vacuum when you start your saw, like the ones we've been using for years, is bulletproof, and never fails. You WILL be effin' around with that Bluetooth vacuum connection --> All... THE... TIME... You've been warned.
Wise words
How do you make it work with a cordless saw?
People always ask me why i chose makita. I guess its just because my dad had nothing but Makita. But i have never been let down. love Milwaukee too.
The “I got nothing.” at the end reminded me of Garand Thumb at his closing of videos.
If you ever bought a saw, go ahead and hit that like and subscribe button.
I teach high school woodshop and replaced my dewalts with the Makita as well, very happy with them
Mikita have been making great tools for years. It seems they have taken a leap ahead recently. Their drills & multi-tools are quite simply superb. I’ve got them. Hilti are still my favourite though, but expensive.
Hi, are you going on job sites often? What would be the normal battery life? What is the maximum rotation speed for the saw? Have fun using it! Cheers!
Damn, the XGT version of this saw is right around the corner. Either way, it's the best on the market right now.
ah, i was wondering why he went with 36v. i thought the 40v was out, maybe just not in the states yet. makita tends to launch in america about a year behind other places
I have the 10" version of this saw but wish I waited for the XGT 8 inch one. But it's a great saw anyway, just a beast to carry around. And I don't care for the laser.
@@nicksgarage2 I also prefer the shadow over the laser. I've been thinking about buying led strips and sticking them up in the blade guard...
@@Anglo-EgyptianMan been thinking the same, let us know if you end up doing so.
i think the new Bosch Biturbo 12 inch miter saw, will give this a run for its money.
I'll be real interested to see how you go trying to cut miters on it, my one straight out of the box took about 8hrs to get true and its an on going process as it keeps going running out.
Cross cuts are the same mine didn't cut a true 90 across a wide board until many hrs setting it up.
Hope yours is better I do love Makita but my old Milwaueek 305mm was a beast and cut true all the time.
My makita chargers can be set to play a melody so you know when the charge is completed, it’s very helpful.
Please make a follow up video on how accurately this saw cuts. I have been eyeballing this saw for a while.
Now don’t think about the xdt16 impact you might just go over to Makita. I’ve had them al, and it’s Makita for me al, the way. And Dewalt is zero slouch. You just can’t deny when something is a step up ever over the crazy priced Festool. Also check out Wera and Wiha bits for your impact when you use them. I will say their first nigh guns are fantastic their just air BOO.
The best/smartest thing about the Makita miter saws is the forward facing rails. I saves a ton of space being able to put that saw right against the wall.
After using the corded version. I’d say it’s one of the best ones I’ve used. The only thing I don’t like is the laser on it and the tightening of the base.
Great video as always. What sawhorse / bench setup is that exactly?
I like the boceh and depth of field on your video, which camera and lens are using, and what f-stop?
Agreed, that background blur is so smooth. Looks like it’s a Sony a7 III with a Zeiss Batis 2/25 (25mm f/2-22) and I’m sure it’s wide open or close to.
It’s a small step up from my M50 lol. FYI, He linked it in the description😁
Most wholesome video on yt.
Watching you so happy with this was just so good to watch.
I really want one now too!
Been using the 10” model for almost a year now, best saw I’ve owned…dust collection is better than most from my experience…
I started watching when your channel was DFW crown. You helped me learn how to install crown. Thanks!
I knew it was going to be a makita, I didn't expect the 12 inch though. Makita tools are honestly very nice I keep thinking about switching all of my milwaukee over to makita lol
A few months after I bought a DeWalt 12 inch sliding miter, I was pretty upset. All the saws that sit flush up against the wall started coming out.
Right now, before I watch, I'm interested in the results. I was seriously ready to get the 12 in corded version for my shop. Most all my other tools are Makita. I love them. The design of this saw was great in terms of space saving with the forward rails, etc. Two major problems that seemed persistent was the aluminum detent plate gets worn. Another woodworker started producing a stainless one. Makita should've done that from the start . I'm surprised they didn't. The other issue is how well it tracks on long sliding cuts. Several people commented on a parallelism defect where there was deflection in the middle of a cut. I decided to go with the dws 779 because just about every trim carpenter uses DeWalt, and has been forever, basically. Can't argue with that. But DeWalts slider takes up way too much real estate in a shop. They should've had a different design with the dust bag, so it's not hanging so far back. I use an elbow on the port to connect with a vacuum.
I had a set of Makita drills for over 10 years that my wife bought for me. I did a lot of house remodeling and the batteries held up great. Never had to replace them. In the meantime, I went through several different models of cordless leaf blowers and weed eaters and had to replace them every few years due to the batteries going bad. I finally bought a Makita blower and weed eater since I had such good results with the Makita drill batteries. Now I also have the Makita hedge trimmer, lawn mower, grinder and disk sander. Very happy with Makita tools.
I had a feeling you were going with the Makita. I've been a Makita junky for 15 years. Just excellent tools. Almost every tool I have is teal apart from cordless Milwaukee nailers.
Dude literally same
Same here. I still have a drill/ impactor combo set that is at least 12 years old that I still use every day. Just threw away the last battery maybe 3 years ago. Except for nailers Makita is all I'll use.
I got my 10" Makita cordless Miter saw last year and I can share the same sentiment as it's my all time favorite tool purchase. No other tool brings me such a pleasant feeling of confidence and reward when I rip through just about all types of species of wood. Congrats on the purchase bud!
The Dfw crown days don’t feel like that long ago… time flies I guess
I hadn’t thought about the timeline. But I learned how to install my first crown from one of his first videos. Must be 5 years ago now. Crazy.
@@NexusCapital Same here!
@@DeWaltManZ Back when he had no guard on his miter lol
Congratulations on the house and the new tool. Does this mean another cuthub for the truck and this one is permanent?
Love the passion you bring to carpentry trades, anyways Makita has always built a very good product for the most part .
I think I started on this channel when you had 18k subscribers...dfw crown...I love my makita tools. I've dropped the drill 50 times and it still goes
I have the 10" version without the AWS - love the saw and never had issues. The battery life if incredible - even if the chargers are a bit bulky. Glad to see a Dewalkee guy say he likes it.
Find DeWalt battery and tools very over rated.They don’t hold a charge nearly as well as Milwaukee and the tools seem cheaply made.Just my observation.
a little tip with the makita batterys if you give them a pounding and they get hot put them in the freezer for 20 minutes to cool down then charge them they charge better and last longer in the long run i am a panel beater and i have batteries that are 3 years old and they are still going strong
CORDLESS SAW FOR A SHOP, WHY?
PAY FOR BATTERIES, PAY TO CHARGE THEM, HELP POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURING AND DISPOSAL OF THE BATTERIES?
Listen to the video again at 1:56 !!!
2:05
EVEN SO, MOST OF THE TIME IN THE SHOP, MOST OF THE TIME YOU DON'T NEED IT IN THE FIELD. UNLESS IT WEIGHS LESS THAN 35 LBS, DOES NOT MAKE SENSE IN THE FIELD. DEFINITELY NOT IN A SHOP.
I remember the original channel days!! You’ve come a long way since then!! Congrats on the new house and shop!
I've got two of the Hitachi model C8FB2 miter saw's. I also have two others. Mine are all early 1990 models. Every finish carpenter had a Hatachi saw. Either the big 16' or the C8FB2. I love mine and am supper glad I got this saw over any other on the market. Mine I think cost $225.00. I burnt one out and now have two. The cool thing is that the job I was on where the motor finally died, the owner bought me another one to replace it. That was so cool of him! That was the first of three tips/ gifts that I've ever received form a costumer. Yes, these saws are on the inexpensive side but way better than any other at the same time.
Scott Brown got me hooked on Makita. I’ve purchased a ton of Makita LXT products and love them all. Impacts, drills, saws, lights, track saws, routers, sanders. Been super pleased with the entire line.
I have been a die hard Milwaukee guy. I was pushed into a corner and had to purchase Makita planner and nibbler. now I am slowly converting from red to blue
I bought a Makita drill/driver years ago and it's awesome! I am replacing my old corded tools now, and getting all Makita XLT cordless to match my drill. Chainsaw next week!
I hope you have better luck with your battery pack than what I and my son-in-law had. One side has stopped charging. It came with my 6 inch saw. My son-in-law’s sticks with Milwaukee. I am retired and have no need for a new tools. I appreciate your passion as I feel the same way about the corded 10 inch Hitachi that I purchased about 10 years ago. Always looking forward to future videos as I’ve been following you for over a decade.
I believe your an artist at our trade and I also believe it is fueled by your integrity grounded in humility. ❤️
My last job had all Makita saws for commercial trim and I ran the corded version of this same saw you are spot on it's a totally great saw.
I been using CMT blades for years. I have a month with a Makita. The cut it's like it's sanded with 320 grit on the end grain. They're not expensive. Buy some bessey parallel clamps. They are pricey but they are awesome. Haven't touch a pipe clamp since.
I have recently purchased the corded version this mitre saw in my opinion is 2nd to none, absolutely amazing
I was done with Dewalt after I bought one of their compressors and it failed less than two years of light use. What the real cruncher is they don't sell a replacement part to fix it even though they still ( to this day) sell the same compressor (type 2 instead of the type 1 that I had). I think the measure of a company is the availability of replacement parts and from my past experiences Dewalt is the worst.
Great looking mitersaw btw. Looks like they took some innovative ideas from Bosch (upfront bevel controls, the ability to cut tight up to a wall, extended side supports) and put the Makita touch.
I was here from when you were dfw crown. Been enjoying the content ever since. Looking forward to your follow up review on this beast. 🤙🏽
Been here from the start! I run Makita and so glad you’re part of the team now. I actually brought a Dewalt portable table saw because of you mate.
i have the cord version. its about 2 years old. its a permanant install. hate the dust collection port. only points down. when you swing it makes it almost imposible to keep hose on. the saw does work well and takes up a small footprint.
Welcome!!! I did the same I had all DEWALT tools then I sold my flexvolt miter for the 10” MAKITA and sold about 70% of my DEWALT tools for MAKITA the engineering is just so smooth the impact xdt16z and the brushless 6 1/2 circ saw are the best in class and I’ve had them all. Milwaukee and DEWALT may have an edge on power but the ease of use, ergonomics, and smoothness are superb. I’d like a DeKita shirt please 😂 thanks
Random question: what is your floor made of? Is that just painted concrete or something else? I'm always thinking about doing something with my garage floor.
I've been using the Makita batteries trouble free for 15 years now. Bulletproof. Never broken one!
BTW, my Makita Chainsaw came with the same dual charger. I love it. Very fast. I have several Waitley (Makita compatible) 9.0ah batteries. This charger will fully charge both of the 9ah batteries in abt 40 minutes.
Which one do you currently recommend: Milwaukee M18 12" sliding vs this Makita?...
I just couldn’t go back to any rail system mitre saw after owning the Bosch 12” Axial Arm saw.
The saw is a beast. I’ve had it bounce around in the trailer between sites and never had to readjust anything.
Granted, it’s a heavy bugger at 94 pounds. Definitely the best mitre saw I’ve used!
GREAT VID! Loving the new shop set up so far! That Makita looks legit! Does it have a plug-in option as well? I have the DW779 with the XPS light add on, I love it! I don’t have the $ to buy a second saw, but IF I ever did, I would try that Makita bc of this video! Great content bud!
