A Makita With a Fricking Laser - LS1219L

This is not just another unboxing video. I found that if you are in Australia and want a Makita with a fricking Laser then there is only one place to get it from.
I was a bit dubious at first whether the saw was worth it...
But I am currently doing a test project making a box with compound mitre angles (I will show that in another video soon) and this saw makes some very clean and accurate cuts just with the stock blade.
I had to install an auxiliary fence for clamping small pieces but at this point I recommend it.
Most people would drop it into a "mitre saw station bench" but I am using the
Makita DEAWST05 - Folding Mitre Saw Stand Trolley which is difficult to assemble because the instructions are very brief. But I am also very happy with the stand because it has wheels to move the saw and can be collapsed down to save space or for transport.

    Thanks Spindles Workshop, I know good tools don't equate to good work but I just finished a project with this saw and it's a little ripper. Meets Expectations.

    be glad that you only forgot the dust bag with the first cut...! I forgot to pull back the Alo splint during the first angle cut. I don't need it anymore, the splint now has the right angle...🤣 I'm still excited about what's to come next. By the way, I like the new logo!

    I am usually team teal for my tools, but I went with the axial glide from Bosch due to the ability to back it up to the workshop wall. Oddly, despite being a premium saw it also didn't come with a freaking laser! 😡 (Otherwise I love it)

    The laser is over rated for fine wood working but i would have forever felt empty with out it. I now know exactly how Dr Evil feels.

    a shadow is a sharper line, i will have a look to see if the laser can be focused better.

    Thanks Simon, it sure weighs like a beast. I just made a little box with compound mitre joints and can confirm it can do very fine work. Very happy with it so far.

    @@Saw-IT I've just finished building myself a workshop my very first for woodworking and I'm in the process of kitting it out. I've just purchased the festool kapax 120 it's way way better than the local hardware own brand I've has for years. The festool is dead straight etc unlike the old one which wouldn't cut anything straight ever. You had zero chance of getting a 90 degree or any other angle 🤔
