ASIN: B0002VB1X2 Item model number: LS1040F Customer Reviews I purchased this miter saw to use for general stick framing carpentry and for simple small-trim trim carpentry. For the money this is an very good lightweight, portable, accurate compound miter saw. I haven’t really used the florescent light, although it might be useful if you were sawing lumber in a dark hallway somewhere. I move all my tools via truck to a different job site each day, so portability was important to me. Previously I was using a Bosch 3915 (stolen) which was a great saw in all respects, but it was large, heavy and feature laden. The plastic kerf plate and miter angle indicator stand out as cheap plastic parts. and best suited as an in-shop woodworking saw or for extensive on-site finish carpentry jobs. It has a relatively small platform and it will just barely cut 2×6 nominal lumber at a 90 degree miter angle. The Makita LS1040F is small and light. I very much appreciate the built-in carrying handle at the top of the saw.
