    One problem I have noticed, and confirmed from your video, is that the laser line is blocked by the black plastic sawdust shroud when the saw is dropped to it's cutting depth. The laser is fine to align with your cut when the saw is up, but as you lower it the shroud cuts it off - watch the video at 17:00 onwards and you'll see what I mean. Obviously if your workpiece is secured that won't be an issue, but it does mean you have to line it all up, cut, then check after the cut that the edge of the cut aligns with the line of the laser after the cut has been made, rather than seeing any error during the cut. Probably not a big issue, but it's disconcerting when you first notice it. Aside from that, the only problem I have seen with the saw is that it does throw sawdust around rather than collecting a lot of it. The bag does need emptying a lot though, so it does work. Best advice, buy a cheap blower as well, and a dustpan and brush.

    the Laser it’s just for reference it’s saves time when positioning your cutting marks. It’s really helpful to aligning with a angle mark when fitting skirting boards… always check yours cut line with the blade teeth and laser just for reference

    Very good comprehensive, look at the DRT. Thank you! I’ve also watched your strap LOL video which was helpful indeed having not actually use the router ever before and bought the same kit as you have. When is part two out? I think that Makita should be sending you the dust extraction kit, so you can do a review of that as well. (I also use my vacuum cleaner, Charles rather than Henry., at least it’s blue like the Makita stuff a little bit ;-))

    hi again Tom, very good video. You mention that you adjusted the laser. I found 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, JonB.

  • @tomreviews9668
    @tomreviews96682 жыл бұрын

    The bracket that holds the laser can only adjust left/right. It can only face at the same trajectory as the saw arm and blade. Use the plastic square provided to check alignment between saw blade and fence. I would go by this first, rather than the laser. The laser should confirm the same as explained above. If one edge of your board is out, so is the 90 degree mark you took from it, giving you a false reading. You may have to experiment to conclude which one is lying to you.

    From the wear on the shoulder of the driver bit, it looks likes it may be just too short. The manufacturer probably keeps this length as short as possible so that you don't have to manually push the magnet onto each screw. Mount the bit in your impact and spin the bit against a round file to take a little off that shoulder. That should give you the bite you need.

    *My friend is in our late 60"s🌿 **allabout.wiki/XRU11M1** and we are huge Makita fans and have been for several years. We have more than Makita tools. This weed eater was just what we needed. I opened the box at **2:30** and by **3:10** I was trimming weeds and I am not handy. I trimmed for nearly an hour on the same small battery. We had a larger model and gave it to our son-in-law because it was just getting too heavy for us. This has very balanced weight and we love it.*
