    I’ve had the no-light model for 2 years. The newer model has minor upgrades (i.e. front handel smaller). I bought this saw because its table rotates smoothly, and it still does! No stop or bevel problems ever! The motor has never appeared under powered but I use sharp quality blades. I did not give this 5 stars as I think the RH fence should be included. I added it but it’s pricey. I agree that a quick release clamp would be nice too. My table saw now gets much less use, and I find little reason to own a RAS now. I too suspect something fishy about the bad review, could it be from a competitor’s sale person. I question a review when someone implies they had problems from the get-go, and failed to return the product. Makita tuff, reliable tools for a quality minded professional! Just picked up their 7 1/4 Hypoid circular saw to replace my worm drive.

    I purchased the LS1013F about a month ago and can proudly say that Makita have kicked a winner with this saw. This saw was highly reccommended to me by work colleges as the best miter saw going around and it is!

    The base plate is of good size with clear markings for all angles and a handy “click-in” to some more commonly used angles (0,45,22.5 degrees). The flip back guard helps with larger materials and the thin kerf blade cuts all timber like hot butter, the only thing to remember is to flip the guard to the left when cutting left hand bevels!

    With the 10″ blade, it gives you a 90mm or 4″, cut at 90 degrees which is as much as you need. With the “MakLite” fitted to this model, it makes it very easy to use the saw in dim light. It follows the sliding section and can be manuvered to shine in the correct position for your cut.

    Overall it is a great saw for all tradesmen and i can reccommend it for buyers in the market.
