Rvs is not a good material too. I think a hard steel like chrome or something else is better

Thanks so much for the video! I was wondering if you would mind to take a measurement? What's the distance from the back of the saw to the fence? With your setup, my problem wouldn't matter much, but my saw is right up against the wall. I had a Festool kapex, but wanted more capacity for cutting timbers, so I bought the Bosch axial glide 12 inch. I really miss the laser of the Festool. The Bosch from the wall to the fence is about 14 inches. Could you tell me what that distance would be for the Makita?? Thanks very much!

I agree, the detent plate is a definite flaw. Replacements from Makita are $14. The 10" and 12" saw replacement plates are identical. I bought several and keep them in my truck.

How do you think gluing a small piece of nylon onto the bottom of the pin would work, in order to ensure the wear occurs on the pin and not on the detent plate where it matters. Once the nylon is low, remove and glue another?

I own several miter saws. So far this is my favorite. Every other brand has other issues that are an annoyance also.

I am in the process of upgrading my miter saw, and this one is at the top of the list just now. I watched a review of this saw compared to its Bosch equivalent (GCM12 GDL). It was noted that while the miter setting of this saw is fixed in place using metal, the Bosch used plastic for the rod that keeps the miter value in place. Of course steel would be better than aluminium for a saw of this category, and I hope that Makita in the meantime has taken this input to heart.

my issue with the bosch is that the Axial glide system is super inaccurate. Tons of head deflection that makes it inaccurate even when the entire saw has been calibrated

I brought one'' noticed it straight away.. was constantly squaring it.. been using my old one.. pissed me off ... now I know the problem thanks..

Enjoyed your informative video. I need to replace my laser. Any tips/advice. Thank you in advance. Rodney.

Good info! Have been looking at adding that very saw to my collection for a while now. I've been a Makita guy for life and it's disappointing to hear they made it sound like they have no plans to improve the design. Their superior design is what normally keeps me coming back. Thank you sir!

Nice vid. I'm comparing different miter saws right now, and very glad you put up this info, is it's a deal breaker for me. I've had a number of Makita tools over the years, and generally been satisfied with the results. I was doing mostly field work however...now that I am looking to do some cabinet grade work, this kind of engineering gaffe is unacceptable. When you see something so glaring, you have to wonder what other corners did they cut? Nice work!

The Kapex has a 220v European motor in it, and they tried to make it work on 110v power. While it can still work on 110v, it’s starved for power and that eventually burns out the motor. Many people have had that happen within the warranty period. I sold mine because I didn’t want that much equity tied up in a saw that had the potential of burning up in a few years 🤷🏼‍♂️

They did update the alloy of the plate, and it is more robust than the original, but folks who have the updated plate are still experiencing the detents wearing out within a few months of professional use. A hobbyist might not notice the wear over several years, but someone who uses the saw daily will see deterioration of the detents on the updated alloy plate.

The Makita ls1019L sliding compound mitre saw also has the factory defect of the 10" blade colliding with the inner edge of the right fence when the saw is rotated to the left 60 degree mitre cut position. It appears the inner edge of the right fence needs to be trimmed or filed down to permit the blade to slide past and clear the inner edge of the right fence and not collide (metal-to-metal) with it.

How do you feel about the non sliding fence.

They finally did it on the new Makita 40v cordless miter saw. I’d still buy yours if I had a Makita because I want the space saving rails but my DeWalt has to wear out a little more before I move over.

@@FearsomeWarrior There is a sub-plate under the miter scale that is made of steel, and the magnet is sticking to that. that sub plate is very thin and is what the screw tightens onto when you want to keep the saw at an angle that doesn't have a detent to hold it there. it's called the miter lock plate, and it's part #288 on the parts breakdown diagram

@@SteneWoodwork ahhh. I have a DeWalt miter saw but hope to get the Makita for a stationary tool. The rails sticking out make the DeWalt silly but it’s a good saw. Only hope I can get a plate from you then if you’re still doing a batch every now and then. I kind of did expect Makita to choose the cheaper material. The way of mass manufacturing now. The weight savings barely compares to durability.

Great! Thanx

Hey, Makita says in their advertisement and specifications that the plate is a replaceable stainless steel plate. Is this incorrect?

Hello John. I have a Makita LS1016L for around 10 years. Excellent tool. Now I have a problem: I can't move the lock lever (part 223 in manual breakdown), miter lock plate (228), grip 50 (220). I vacumm all around but seem is not dust or residues of wood that blocked the machine. Do you have any observation around? Thank you

Hi Mauricio, unfortunately I have no experience with that model saw. Sorry I can’t be of assistance

Curious if you know what material the detent pin is made from. I would be worried that with a harder plate, it would wear the pin out and you would have the same problem on a piece that's harder to replace.

Ok thanks for the reply I’ve been on the makita platform since I started in the trade but there’s just something about makita mitre saws I don’t like but it seems to be the best cordless 10” mitre saw on the market so might have to bite the bullet and purchase one

My upper and lower fence is not in alignment. The upper fence sits back from the lower fence by about .01 and there is no way to adjust that. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The wear on the detent plate could be vastly reduced by depressing the lever when moving the saw releasing the pressure on the plunger?

@SteneWoodwork

Yes, and it does help. But inevitably over time the aluminum is too soft to stay accurate. Every other saw on the market has a stainless steel detent plate, or a cast iron plate. Aluminum was a horrible decision

@@SteneWoodwork there is no way this is accidental. The amount of engineering and materials science that is applied to design something like this is staggering. Which of steel and aluminium "wins" is remedial. Planned obsolescence strikes again.

Hi yeah I am, the latest batch has been ordered and they are up for sale on the website. It will be another week or two until I get them from the manufacturer, and then I will send them. Shipping times depend on what option you choose at checkout, but the cost of shipping to Australia is quite high lately. You can go to my website and see how much and how long it will take.

Dewalt uses a stainless steel detent plate. I’m pretty sure they were first with the detent plate idea too. Dewalt DWS 709 12 inch is one of the best saws out there. It also has the shadow line indicator that Dewalt did first as well

Thank you!
