    To access zero clearance insert rear screws, turn base plate to 45 degrees. It gives access without removing the fixed base.

    To reduce the under-the-saw dust problem with your 10" Makita 1019, hollow out the top of your saw bench and remount the saw base on two oak cross beams. Build and install a drawer in the stand, beneath the saw base beams. You can open up the drawer and vacuum it out when it gets filled with dust.

    I have the same LS1019 miter saw. And I love it. 5:46 To remove the screws, you have to turn the table, as if we were making a 45-degree cut. At that time the screw is exposed. The same thing happened to me at the beginning, I didn't know how to unscrew it.

    • @Iskandardc
      @Iskandardc 3 роки тому +3

      The only thing I did not like about it is that it does not have laser on both sides at the same time, and that it gets dirty very often. While blowing or unscrewing it and taking out the plastic that covers it, it can be cleaned. Also the laser is little seen with light. I would prefer a light system behind the blade. Which seems to me much more accurate and precise. Greetings from Chile

    • @MasonDixonAcres
      @MasonDixonAcres  3 роки тому +4

      Ohhh my gosh I can’t believe I didn’t think of rotating the dang table! Thanks for that tip! I would agree it would be nice to have a light on each side or a shadow, sometimes I forget which blade side the laser is on. Haven’t had any trouble with it getting dirty yet but good to know

    Bought this for my friend for his birthday, and he loves it. Father-in-law was a little jealous, even. :) Built solid, but light enough to move around for projects. Easy to use ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe and makes great precision cuts. Doesn't come with a laser mount, but the fence is straight as an arrow and if you measure carefully, it's not a problem. Can handle dimensional lumber with ease, but of course, there's a limit to how thick. Handled a 4x4" post without a problem, but 4x6" we had to flip and cut twice. Only thing we've noticed is make sure to tighten the nut that holds the saw blade when you take it out of the box and maybe check up on it occasionally. For some, this is probably a no-brainer, but we neglected to do this and a few months in, found the motor running but the blade spinning at about half speed or less. Tightened the nut, and problem was solved. Very happy with this purchase. Dewalt makes sturdy stuff.

    I have the 12” cordless. It works well.
    Only Cons:
    I had to setup the 45 degree vertical miter cut, as it came a little out
    Don’t like dust collection: I think ports and ducts should be much larger.
    Table side extensions should have two locking screws or a squarish guide for a tight fit, as it woobles as it is.

    Clear, concise update on your favourite mitre saw 🙂
    I'm gonna watch your video again just to see you caress it and cut timber with it, just because.
    I traveled 4 hours today (5.5hr trip) to pick up this exact model. Could have bought the LS1019 locally but good or bad I wanted that laser LS1019L). In AU$ it was almost $1190 pick up.
    I've unboxed and removed the solid metal side timber supports as the saw will be going into well on my just workbench. That's the plan but it's bigger than I thought so the bench will have to be reinforced as a fair bit of bench real estate has to be cut out to accommodate the saw. Haven't powered it up yet but I will do that for warranty purposes.
    Read a lot about this saw and although a bit exy it will have way better cuts than my old Ryobi and has some really neat features as well. Looks cool too. My Diablo 60 tooth blade doesn't fit it so I will go with the included 50 tooth Makita blade and see how it goes. Heard good things about the blade so may stay with it. So, my thoughts so far are: looks good, smooth as silk to slide and set angles plus, it's heavier than I imagined.

    Awesome review my brother. I'm researching all my favorite picks and this saw is always on my list. Because the m18 is smaller and I'm heavily invested in the platform do I consider it. But I have just as many batteries and chargers from team teal so I think I'd much rather have the beastly makita 10". If for some reason I chose red it would be the 7 1/4 version. Thanks for the great review 👍🏾

You just have to keep an eye on it and empty it more often. I have an older Dewalt that will go for a long time without filling the bag. That’s because most of dust is flying everywhere else.

    Kia ora from New Zealand. These are great saws. Bought mine a couple of years ago and have no regrets. The only issue I've found is that when returning the saw upright after a bevel cut, it doesn't seem to lock back into the vertical. That little spring catch at the base of the saw looks like it should snap back into place but it doesn't. Feels like something may have jammed up.

    • @MasonDixonAcres
      @MasonDixonAcres  2 роки тому

      I know what you mean, I just sit it up against the hardstop and lock it down. If you press in the button to bevel the saw to the right you will hear a click when you bring it back past vertical, and then you set it up against the hardstop.

    Hey Alex. Really nice review! I’ve had this saw about 2-1/2 years now and really love it. Was wondering if you know what the purpose of the stop lever is. They don’t address this in the manual at all, but it is named in the parts list manual. This is the little lever on the top and back of the rail. It flips down and stops the forward sliding motion about an inch shorter than normal. Keep up the good work!

    • @MasonDixonAcres
      @MasonDixonAcres  Рік тому +1

      I just took a look at the saw, what I think you're referring to is the depth of cut lever. I honestly didn't even know this existed and I'm pumped now that you've pointed it out 😂 It swings side to side, and in the position closest to the blade the cut depth adjuster (thumb screw) passes through the slot for a full depth of cut. But if you swing it away from the blade, the thumb screw hits the bracket and the blade stops short, so you can make trench cuts that don't go fully through a board. Huge feature for making quick dado grooves. Thanks so much for pointing this out!!

    The first thing I saw in another review by another fellow was he put a machined straight edge across the table to ensure the turn table and the fixed part of the table are completely flat . Then he used a machine square to check the 90 degree between the fence all along the table , this has no adjustments so if out take the saw back . He also checked the horizontal square from laying flat on the table to both the right and left fence to the saw blade face . So if you talk about accuracy this is the only way to start the conversation I would think ? Have you done this with this saw ?

  • @richardmurphy8935

    Great review, although cutting crown laying flat is far superior to bedding, since bedding alows for more margin of error if you get that angle perfect, and cutting it flat never requires changing the bevel. The only time I bed is when I'm cutting odd angles (different from a 90° corner).

      Definitely you need to know how, since it's a pain to try and figure out to trim put an octagonal column cutting everything flat. Cutting bedded though is kind of like watching the movie before you read the book, it's great, but not always 100% accurate. Good to know both though, and depending on the saw and the angles I have on a job, I will cut bedded sometimes. Also, if I'm crowning vaulted ceilings, I don't know how much math it would require to figure out those double compounded angles. Lots of times when it's appropriate, just not my all day crown cutting choice.

      Hahah the cat sounds make it worth it! I think you'll be happy with it. I'm on the Dewalt line for cordless, but for anything corded I must say I really like Makita's build quality and performance. We use Milwaukee at work and I only have run across a couple minor complaints.

    Hi there - I have a table that may not be wide enough for the saw - can you tell me the dimension of the width not counting the black extension supports that I assume I could remove. Thank you.

    My question is for anyone who could answer it. I just bought a used Makita mitre saw (XSL06) model. The only issue with it it’s that it doesn’t make that CNC machine noise he was describing at the end. Instead it makes a grinding sound like if it’s metal on metal or it might need to be lubricated again. Does the sound wear off with time? I took it apart and cleaned it but it didn’t take the grinding sound away. Any suggestions?

    Those zero clearance inserts can easily be adjusted if you rotate the base to 45 left and right of the blade. It will expose those back screws. Had the saw a few months before I figured that out😑

    • @regibson23
      @regibson23 2 роки тому

      That's a correct width measurement BUT if you have a wall or cabinet next to it you need 27" width to get full bevel adjustment Otherwise the rear of the saw will hit when you swing it over.
      Also on the depth you can easily get away with putting this on a 26" deep bench and even 24" with dust collection. This is if you don't mind the front handle hanging out. When not in use you can swing the handle all the way over and it will be flush with the base.

    Hello friend, can you make some reviews for cabinetry crown molding with this Makita? How is it accurate cut angles? for example, compare with fastool. for example, compare with Festool. Is this Makita same accurate as well as the Fastool?

    • @MasonDixonAcres
      @MasonDixonAcres  3 роки тому +3

      I did do some cabinetry crown with this saw, you can check it out in my DIY laundry cabinets video part 2 I believe. It cuts very accurately even on the flat. I personally don’t foresee myself purchasing any festool equipment due to the crazy high cost. One of those saws is probably 3x the price of this makita, and I’m not sold that you get 3x the performance.
      Hope this helps!

Est-ce qu'il ne suffit pas simplement de faire pivoter la table principale une fois à gauche pour pouvoir retirer ou ajuster la vis de gauche en passant un tournevis par-derrière la butée d'appui principale. Puis procéder de la même manière en faisant pivoter la table principale à droite pour pouvoir accéder à la vis de droite ?
