Thanks a lot, mate! This was a great help to calibrating my Makita saw. Finally I did it! For calibrating the laser I used a wider piece of scrap plywood, fixed it with a clamp against the fence as I would hold it during a real cut, and made a small scoring cut of about 1 mmm depth. I used this cut as an indication line against which I adjusted the laser line.

I have looked everywhere for information on setting up my 1018L. It just would not go to 45deg in the horizontal. Your explanation on how to do this was a “eureka moment” for me. Have now adjusted my machine perfectly. Thank you for your video with a special mention of your many safety instructions.

Hey @makitatools give this guy a hat... at least. Great video with very clear instructions for tuning Makita mitre saws. I just bought this model saw... and it is the first Makita that was not better than perfect out of the box. But i did know this happens sometimes...you just need to dial it in to get great cuts! Thanks for taking the time to help explain the process!!

Is it still consistent? Curious as I am looking at a good used one online

Thanks for such a clear and well produced tutorial!

Such a professional video. Well done and thank you for a great visual instruction of this saw.

Thank you. That was a truly informative and helpful video. We'll explained. To the point. And I thought you repeating the need to unplug was seriously spot on. Those blades are beasts. I really appreciate your effort. It will come in handy when I go to adjust mine. Well done 👍

Yes a good video, I took mine a bit further and spend a couple of hours pulling it apart and deburring all machined surfaces/edges with my needle files and a fine stone. Now all moving parts are so smooth, it feels like a $2000 saw, well worth the effort.

That's a brilliant idea. Should have done that to mine. But I decided to sell it in November last year.

Thanks for the time and effort you’ve put into this video! It was very helpful to me 👍 @makita Give this guy some credit

Ow...thanks bro! Very useful as I'm getting very soon the exact same saw. Appreciate your time👊

Good explanation (even though English is not his first language) from a gracious man - thank you.

Excellent video. Thanks very much. I'm just about to buy this model (upgrading from my 216mm model). You're going to save me a lot of time setting up. Cheers. Tony

Tnx a lot. It was just what I needed and now I can do straight cuts again.

Thanks a lot for your comprhensive video. I was wondering if you edited one about troubleshooting such as the jammed press button to release the bevel cut angle or the octogonal key in the back that doesn't tighten the chosen angle.

Really Helpful, thank you !

Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

Thank you so much for the video. Please could you tell me which country the LS1018 is made? It will say on the label and I am struggling to find this information.

Thank you, very good video. You mention that you adjusted the laser. I did find the nut for moving the laser left and right, but is there a way of aligning it with with the 90 degree cut? The laser is not in line with the square line I mark on a board. Hope this makes sense. Many thanks again, Jon

Thanks for sharing! From who is the beautiful music?🙏

Muchas gracias, necesitaba verlo para tener una idea

Thank you for this great tutorial. I find that if i make cuts with waste on the right side of the blade they are usually square but if i put waste on the left side they are not. I'm not sure what to do in this situation since it's all one piece and they cannot be adjusted individually.

Great video thanks helped me loads

Thank you very much! That certainly helped me! 👍

really helpful thanks for the video

Nice. Thanks from 🇨🇦

Wow. Muchas gracias tu video ha sido de gran ayuda. Tienes un like, me suscribo y tu video guardado en mi lista de favoritos.

Thank you. You are a saint!

Great video! Thanks

great stuff. Thanks so much

Very helpful thank you

Thank you for a great video. My LS1017 cuts a right angle perfectly but when tilted 45 degrees (a bevel cut), the cut is 1.5mm to the left on the outside! So I need to adjust the guide by this just for the mitre joint. Painful. Maybe other's have an idea what might be wrong.

Im in the same boat

Is it still.consistent and work well? I am looking at a good used one and see bad reviews. What do you think of the saw now still?

Thank you

Hi, I just purchased the same saw and I'm having trouble unlocking the rear lever to cut bevels, the plastic handle just deforms and skips over the flats of the hexagon bar, has mine been over tightened at the factory or is there a lock somewhere that I am not aware of? regards

Do you watch via Smartphone/Tablet or PC/Mac?

I am so crazy fine tuning the laser. It is not user friendly at all. I move the laser to the expected position, then every time I tight the screw, laser move to another position.

whaat is the maximum opening length of the machine

Trying to use bevel... I thought finally a video that could show me... After watching it 25 times... Still can't figure it out... Looking for or another video....

I'm not an expert. Call Makita, they know what to do.

Merci pour la clarté des explications et les rappels à la prudence...👍

Cost of machine pls

Do I need to unplug the machine?

Just a note that if you, to use a random example, are cutting a too-small piece of oak and it gets violently jammed into the saw you must redo all of these adjustments 🙄

Turn the music OFF when you are talking.

As a joiner with 47 years experience this is the worst saw I have ever purchased. Every angle miles out. I do not expect to buy a precision tool then have to reset every angle. Bits falling off all over. Dewalt is far better

I purchased a used one. The preowner tried to reset the mitres and failed. I do not have any problems with it. But I never owned a comparable Saw before (the previous one was 40 years old). This video was not made to quote the quality of the saw. It was made to help others how to reset.
