As much Makita as I have and I have had mitre saws from Makita in the past, I wouldn't buy one now. They just don't scream accuracy at me and now it seems it's becoming plain to see. 

I agree.

Anybody with an update on their experiences or thoughts about either of these saws?

I am selling my Makita LS1019L. Too many accuracy issues. I just hate this saw.

[Makita LS1019L problems]

I am having problems with bevel cuts on my Makita and it is really annoying. All my bevel cuts are skew and is not straight but has a curve  in it. When I cut at 90 degrees the cuts are good though.

The second problem is with my laser. Firstly it projects a double line onto the workpiece and secondly, when I line the laser up with my pencil line it is spot on but as I lower my blade, the laser line moves off the pencil line. 

I have set up my machine 100% before use.

Does anyone else also have these issues?

 

I am certainly not impressed with this machine
