MakitaLS0816F/2 240V 216mm Slide Compound Saw

This is a brilliant product so easy to use gets the job done worth every penny. Would recommend to anyone who wants a great chop saw for a good price.

Excellent and great value for money, the cutting light is also excellent

I considered purchasing a used better model Makita mitre saw. However, I was only going to do some panelling around the house. I decided to try this one out and have been very pleased. I changed the blade it comes with for a 100 teeth one. Cuts have been accurate and done the job I needed of it. I did let the decorator use it, since he was putting some dado rail up. He did an angled cut and cut the end off the upper fence! Note, when the blade is angled, the upper fence should be removed. Changing the angles is really easy and the shadow line of the blade is useful. The saw itself is also not overly heavy, so can be picked up and moved. It was too bright outside, so I moved the saw inside to see the shadow line. Happy with the purchase.

Very precise cutting degree,good tool

Very happy with this purchase. Much better than my old one. Motor noise slightly quieter than the predecessor. Smooth action and all checked out as accurate. Quite big but not too heavy. Electrical cord 'store away' badly designed as the plug has nothing to hook onto of which means the cord starts to unravel. Not too much of a big deal but when the manufacturer uses the cord storage as a selling point....you kind of expect a genius solution! Would def recommend this saw.

… out of the box the guide extension is right in front of the blade. So you can guess what happened. A small red sticker alerting to this, on the underside is not ideal. Yes, I should have checked. But it makes no sense for it to be there in the first place. Box is huge so could have been left off.

Great saw for the price. Very happy with the width of cut and the slide mechanism is smooth. The light that shines a line on the cutting point is very useful. Saw is accurate enough for type of work I’m using it for so can’t speak to high end work. Easy enough to transport

HIgh quality item (as Makita products usually are) - well manufactured and very accurate cuts. Does just what I wanted it for.
