About this deal

Makita is known for making quality, professional grade, power tools but unfortunately for the likes of hobbyists, these come with a professional grade price tag. A price tag that is often not justifiable for the type of person that’s in the woodworking game for the love of it. Maby that’s why Makita decided to throw guys like us a bone by scaling down their design and building a saw that falls in our price range. There is almost no vibration on the blade and the measurements printed on the saw are close to spot on. The 1500Watts motor works on 240V. It is potent as it produces more speed. More power means more speed. That reduces your working time as the machine works faster. Rotations per minute As for the fence, well, my solution was to make an entirely new replacement fence. I never got around to it and more recently I decided to upgrade my saw. I haven’t found one yet but in the meantime, I am not going to bother upgrading the saw. Notwithstanding quite a few shortcomings I’m quite happy with mine. I’ve had it for 15 months and it hasn’t missed a beat.

The rip capacity has a sub-table that can accommodate an 8×4 ft sheet. It complements the overall machine. 10-inch blade Walking into a store the MLT 100 will definitely draw your attention. Largely covered in the brands signature blue, you don’t need to be a power tool connoisseur to be able to identify this saw from across a room as a Makita. As for the Makita MLT 100, like I said, its a nice saw for the price but don’t expect miracles. It will never measure up to some of the more expensive saws.In cases where it is, however, you’ll be better off using a tool designed for making accurate miter cuts like the Metabo KGS 254 M. Who was this saw made for? The fence of the Makita mlt100 has alignment problems, whereas the fence system of 2704 is accurate.

Rufus, the Woodwork Junkie mascot reminding you SAFETY comes FIRST! Power tools can be dangerous if not used correctly. The maximum cutting height at 90 degrees is 93mm. When it is at 45 degrees, it runs up to 64mm. Amp motorBeyond the Makita decals, you will also notice the type of well-built machine that consumers have come to expect from the brand despite the fact that the saw was developed as a cost-effective alternative to the Makita 2704. Sadly, I have no solution to the throat plate dilemma. I have considered making a replacement but there is a small strip underneath the insert which would require any replacement to be really thin in that area. I have seen people make replacement plates but I wouldn’t be able to say how safe and effective they are. The Makita MLT100 is eye-catching with its blue color and branding. It replaced the Makita 2704 as it is cost-effective. The 960 x 690mm bed is significant as the main bed. The slide bed of aluminum makes it durable. Taking the saw out of its box, with the exception of some fine-tuning to the blades set point, the only assembly required before the saw can be used is fitting the riving knife and clipping the blade guard into place. On tool storage holds commonly used accessories including: TCT saw blade, Rip fence, Miter gauge etc
