I've not had a chance to make the video yet, but if you need to adjust the left/right bevel.... At the rear of the saw there are 2 black bolts. Looking at the saw from the rear, loosen the bolt on the left a good few turns. You can now adjust the pitch using the right hand bolt. You'll notice that the angle changes looking at the degree pointer. I hope that makes sense?
Hi, thanks for the very informative video and have saved it for future reference. I'm looking at this saw and wondering how accurate can you get this saw? I am after a saw that If I want to I can also do finishing work with at some point in the future. I see some people using one saw for general cutting and a Festool for finishing work. I can't be bothered spending that money on a saw that only has one function. Yes I could just buy the Festool, but I am sure there are diminishing spending so much more?
As with any machine, its all in the setup. But once done, it should be fine (unless knocked, new blade etc). For fine work, I always check using a piece of scrap first, just in case.
If the cut is curved then there could be 1 or more issues: -The blade could be bent / bending whilst cutting. (New, thicker blade / throw the original back at Makita for a replacement if its new). -The blade is not installed correctly (try removing it, check its flat and level and re-install). -The blade is the wrong type for the material you are cutting. (May require a higher tpi) -You are cutting too fast/forcing the blade through the material rather than letting it do the work. -Try cutting a little at a time and use the front to back cut rather than the downwards cut if you get my meaning? -The Bevel and/or mitre gauge is misaligned. Please let me know how you get on.
@@ChampionsOfTheTrade Thanks for your reply. I am using the original blade delivered with my LS003G. I will change the blade and try again. Maybe I did cutting too fast, because I wanted to get the board cutted at all four sides to get 90° edges, to get the bird house done :D The curve occurs about half way sliding, I guess. The curve is always near or in the middle of the cut.
planning to buy a miter saw question is? which one is the best ? makita 40v miter saw 12inch or the new dewalt 60v miter saw 12 inch can u help. thanks!!
Unfortunately I don't have any information on the DeWalt. If you're already on a platform then I would stick to it, if not, find a wholesaler who can get both models in so you can try first. Fyi, unless you're cutting large timbers like sleepers, then I'd consider a smaller saw, especially if you're carrying it from site to site. Hope that helps a little? Please let me know how you get on.
