This is one of the best and most affordable miter saws for carpentry. Ideal for door installations and trimming baseboards up to 12 cm high. (Though you have to trim from the side rather than from the top). You can improve the saw by installing a soft start module ordered in Moscow and also adding a shadow guide (there are video guides on YouTube). I bought it on credit and did not regret it one bit - it paid for itself in the first month and did not disappoint, it is very comfortable for me as a beginner to work with it (I got used to marking without a laser and shadow guide by slightly touching the disk at operating speed). It cannot handle large workpieces as it has no sliding feature, but because of this, there are no wobbles! All those Zubr and others sit on the sidelines! If you're getting it for work, keep in mind that this saw practically won't fit into any bag, you need a car. Ideal precise factory tuning Reliable massive construction (with a convenient handle for transportation) Very high-quality disc included! Does not chip the edge! (I've been working with it for the second year without complaints) Convenient angle adjustment and a quality base without flatness errors! Includes a dust collection bag (collects about 60-70% of the sawdust) Pays for itself in 1-2 side jobs ;) Absence of laser sighting Absence of working area lighting Absence of soft-start feature (be very careful with this, you need to get used to it) Absence of plastic legs under the saw (you have to place it on a cloth, cardboard, or anything available)  Yuriy Afrikantov: use Makita LS1040 more than year |
