From FWW #193 (September/October 2007)

by Thomas McKenna

The Rikon has plenty of cutting capacity and power and some great features, including a built-in light and window that gives you a plane view of the upper blade wheel for tracking purposes. But it dropped in the rankings of our test because of its overly complicated and poorly machined guide mechanisms. Still, it had the most resaw capacity of those we tested and had a good quality of cut.

Makita LS1219L Miter Saw

This is the saw I want in my shop. For one, it’s easy to use. All of the controls are easy to reach and manipulate, and the glide mechanism is both robust and smooth. The handle works well for righties and lefties. Then there are added bonuses that no other saw has. For instance, its hold-down is superb, as it can move to different locations, hinges for a greater range of coverage, and actually holds down the work. In addition, the saw has two points of dust collection, letting it firmly beat the rest of the field. The one downside was the saw’s laser, which was so faint we had to turn off the shop lights to see it. Still, all these pluses in a package that fits tight to the wall? That’s a winner for me.
