After really getting into this, I haven’t been able to find a downside of the Makita LS1016. At least not easily. It’s definitely a saw that comes with great value and is well worth the price. You’ll find it to be very useful and handy when dealing with many of your cutting needs. Some say that this miter saw is not that portable because it is heavy to carry around. However, compared to other miter saws of its kind, it is definitely smaller and more compact.
All in all I highly recommend this saw as it has proven to be one of the best of the bunch.
