Saw works awesome! Great saw with a great brand name backing it up. Have an old Makita 10inch chop saw in the family for 30 years, going strong still. Have the same high expectations for the new addition.

I have been doing my research with a lot of product but this one stood out and after I purchased it now know why. At first I thought I would be bias because I own a lot of tools of this brand but this saw is perfect and is easy to use and move around. Do I recommend this saw, I sure do.

My Makita is easy to assemble, and although it’s a big heavy it’s very easy and comfortable to work with but my work is easier.

It’s good!!! All but the numbers on the table of it when sliding sideways, for both 45 degrees lock in but the tape reader is off on both sides by almost a full degree, so it make it incorrect to use it… that’s the only problem I see it has…

A very good saw. The only downfall is the dust collecting system. Seems there was more sawdust on the floor than in the dust bag.

Bought this saw recently for some new housework, and have used it extensively over the past couple of weeks. No complaints at all – I’ve used it to cut trim, base boards, 11 1/2″ oak planks, and paneling. Cuts are smooth and dead-on accurate. The saw is also relatively light, making it easy to haul up and down the stairs to different locations. This is a great product that I would highly recommend.

Just received shipment of the New LS1018. Finally had to bury my Hitachi CF82B after 22 years of rock solid service. About the Makita, I decided to upgrade to a 10 inch slider from my 8-1/2 inch. I recently purchased the newer Dewalt 10 inch Jobsite saw after also putting to rest a 8-1/2 inch Makita table saw.I read the reviews, largely mixed, on the LS1016 and did not want the risk.Pros:Out of the box, the saw’s settings were dead on. The blade, only a 40 tooth, will be good for rough materials but not for trim work. The rail mount and base are solid, no play whatsoever. Again brand new, so time will tell. No blade wobble. I heard in numerous reviews this was an issue with the LS1016.The indents are secure.Cons:No light or laser. I am not a big laser fan but an led would be nice. The rail operation is not very smooth, especially when you get beyond 8 inches. It becomes extremely rough. It could be packing grease or again just needs a break in period. Rotating the table is very stiff and hard to make single degree adjustments. The mount for the depth setting is not aligned with trenching tab.The cord end should have had the capture clasp that is pretty standard on all large power tools. The dust bag closure system is quirky and will not hold up like a quality zipper.Conclusion:Again, this is a new saw to me. I will be putting it to a lot more service in the future. I think Makita cut some engineering corners on this saw. 13amp instead of keeping the15amp, Taped on degree indicator, cord and dust bag issues previously mentioned. Hitachi set the bar high over 25 years ago with quality albeit Japanese made. Hope this Makita will make it through my twilight carpentry years.

Good saw, surprisingly light for a slider but that is due to the aluminium base. Will have to be careful as it does not seem that it will hold up to much abuse. Overall well designed with nice features at this price point.Had to reset the factory adjustments because it was off a little right out of the box. No big deal because I frequently check the settings before cutting any expensive wood anyway.Do yourself a favor and get a nice 60 tooth or more blade to go with it and you will be much happier with the way it cuts.I’m kind of a tool snob so I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars only because I would have rather had a steel base on it for durability. Maybe the aluminium will be fine, only time will tell.
