Makita LH1201FL Table Top Mitre Saw

[@siriosstar4789]

This video clearly illustrates how NOt to use a table saw . he is using the push stick on the wrong side of the blade . this is one of the most dangerous things you can do on a table saw . it's amazing the cut piece between the blade and the fence did not kick back .

[@cyrillllll]

Thank you for the reminder!

[@pete_lind]

He has blade guard and riving knife on place , those prevent most accidents , yeah the piece between side guide and blade can still fly off . Also it was short piece of lumber , usually you use table saw first, for long material and then miter saw . First job is to make some push aides from 2 by 4 or plywood and forget that plastic stick , its Makita so it is likely that its not the type that explodes when hitting blade.

[@mikeadiddle]

Just FYI for safety, you really should use the push stick on the side of the wood against the fence. That piece can fly back and hit you if you don't. You can see in the video that it did start to fly back.

[@treydawg8]

Also you shouldn’t keep your fingers that close to the blade because if it does get kickback or bind up it can pull your fingers into the blade. There’s many sawstop videos of it happening on KZbin.

[@adgieem1]

Your left hand should NEVER be up to or past the blade. Your left hand should be held back before the blade. PERIOD! Your push stick should NEVER be pushing on the waste side of the cut. Never! Period!

[@markhedquist9597]

I don't think any manufacturers sell these combo saws in the US and I don't know why. I think they are pretty cool. Of course, we're all so spoiled that we would need a cordless, brushless, wireless dust-extractor switching model. Why not? Thanks for the demo and good luck with the channel!

[@davidcorliss]

Virutex does

[@Realism91]

Another thing that annoys me is they often don't have a option for dust collection in circular saws in North America, but usually do everywhere else with the same brand.

[@catacalin]

4:18 hi! Great videos! When i lean the blade to 45' actualy is going to 43 max,do you now how to adjust it? Thanks

[@3dandyrandy3]

What are the rubber gloves for, did he just come from giving cavity searches?

[@BrokenCurtain]

The gloves are there to make sure the hand gets pulled into the blade once one of the teeth gets hooked on the rubber.

[@garybecker4490]

Bosch had one of these too. Cool idea but only for projects that are small, flooring, trim, etc.

[@pawekowalik7826]

yes just for finishing

[@StefaanWybouw]

Thx Matt! Great video, helps a lot while unpacking.

[@toolnerd]

Thanks for the review nice job. Love the saw! 🤓🤓

[@supershotgungaming1831]

I was looking for this hybrid tool years ago

[@cavitgelez9647]

You have amazing work gloves.😂

[@JulioLopez-jd5wy]

Thanks for the video, but I have a question where can I buy this saw?

[@deadduck4041]

Looks like a Nice little Tool 👍

[@ryanrisbridger2063]

Thanks for the video. One thing I cannot figure out is if it’s possible to use the table saw function for bevelled edge cuts? I need to cut some long planks to box in some pipes.

[@ryandury]

I don't see any connections that would tilt the blade and not the work surface. I also don't see enough clearance on the surface, around the blade to suggest that it can tilt.

[@24revealer]

I'd get a track saw.

[@jrsuk1170]

If this was available in 40v I'd buy it right now.

[@jpl0713]

Ditto

[@thomasklughammer6586]

good demonstration

[@quinterofelixchidez]

Is it good for cutting metal abrasive wheel

[@paulsigmon7263]

So cool! I wish the table was a bit more robust and had some slots for a sled and a little larger.

[@peterrivney552]

I like to see it cut a sheet of plywood and how big is the blade 12 inch? I'd prefer a sliding saw .

[@rrxyzrr]

jesus, i got sweaty watching this. it's been a year, you still got all your fingers man?

[@robertstewart9658]

I have never seen anything like this. I cannot decide if it is brilliant or stupid. Seems like either way it would be dangerous.

[@Chris-dd5wl]

Sold.🤠

[@bigboundsy]

Looks like a gimmick to me

[@TwanTimmermans-nm5lj]

What kind of base frame do you use?

[@mattssheddythings4517]

Just an unbranded mitre saw table that cost around £50 in the UK. What I did do after the video though was shorten the legs by about 100mm to make it a bit easier in table mode.

[@supershotgungaming1831]

Where can I buy it?

[@pkaronis1]

Does it slide?

[@christophedefosse2849]

bonjour , comment change ton la lame ?

[@tomasvrabecCZ]

Guys, I love this machine, but have no idea why, both my laser and light are not working. Any idea? From another tools, I got even dedicated AA batteries for laser, but cannot find any on this. Any ideas?

[@tinydealsmv]

Laser hole clogged with saw dust probably. why not clean and check?

[@tomasvrabecCZ]

@@tinydealsmv It was actually broken. Got replaced both of then at Makita service center.

[@nyobkho2siabvue609]

I like it it work Very good

[@p-rt-l2792]

Hi! Love the review! Question: in the description on the Makita website it says: remember to change the blade when switching saw-mode. You don’t seem to do that in the video, or do you?

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

That was my thought. I think he used the wrong blade when he ripped those 2x4's. No trouble cutting across the grain, though.

[@p-rt-l2792]

@@briankleinschmidt3664 exactly, but would I have to buy a second blade or not? To me that would be pretty much a dealbreaker. I have no interest in switching blades all the time. It would kind of kill the whole dual mode saw thing for me.

[@TwanTimmermans-nm5lj]

@@p-rt-l2792i dont think you need to switch blades if you want to use the table saw for like 5 minutes

[@MrDiabeeto]

The blade is fine lol. It may not be optimal but it’s perfectly fine. Never in my life have I changed a blade on my circular saw just for ripping and I probably wouldn’t do it with this either.

[@vladimirsmirnov5941]

Thank you! i buy it!

[@TriNguyen-qq5ul]

Didn't know this tool existed

[@hwfranjr]

If ya need BOTH a table saw and miter saw GOOD idea takes up LESS Space for The home Boy builders out there,lol

[@04hopkinsont]

Nice one, thanks

[@physioprime2260]

Was helpful

[@نورعینییاحسینمظلومعلیہالسلام]

How much this machine

[@mattssheddythings4517]

UK price is around £430 (October 2022)

[@felixmotanul5242]

@@mattssheddythings4517 You have hard life in the Uk. To me cost 350 Euro, yesterday I bought it.

[@alexsimpson488]

Whats with the rubbaaa gloves??

[@wilfsidekick6888]

Anti cut gloves probably

[@alexsimpson488]

Great video though!!!

[@amanjolkutanov6150]

Сколько стоит в долларах???

[@joacimjansson1123]

Bought a makita 1 040 (similar) miter mode is to high for tablesawing , To much compromise. the arrest is a oke.

[@user-id8ng9eq9h]

good tool for flooring jobs

[@owenjones7620]

Great video footage, sadly this is just not for me, looks way above dangerous for my liking.. Stick to a machine for one purpose 1 table saw and an additional sliding mitre saw, tread with caution with this all in one machine!

[@chrisproudlove1280]

Want!

[@edvardbrank9685]

I think that BOSCH GTM 12JL table saw is better and safer.

[@FunTir]

No. Makita version is better.

[@nickel0eye]

that guard is so dangerous! weird!

[@marcgrasso6032]

Wow as a 35yr carpenter I am not impressed. Good video work but the tool will be problematic at best. These hybrid tools just dont cut it for the most part. I see a real dangerous combo there for anyone just getting into woodworking and would steer clear of this one. Learn the craft on dedicated tools would be my advice, your hands will thank you

[@adgieem1]

Great point. It’s more of a toy than a tool.

[@inkognitou6982]

Looks more like a marketing invention.

[@balazsbanhalmi]

Why would it be dangerous?

[@CarlosHernandez-fl1ub]

As a contractor for the last 20 years I would never buy this new stupid tool for my jobs possible for my house but not for projects, I rather have my d setup of tools mitter saw and table saw separately at the high and angle that I need it each one and not adjusting it a for every phase of the materials... Good luck 👍 with this tool

[@lance1310]

[@KKrypto]

Not sold in us. Too stupid to use

[@dilligaf2386]

Naaaaa not a fan I've got a miter saw and table saw for work might have a different opinion if I used one don't know anyone who has one.

[@davidrobert1855]

Ideal for diy work and some one that as limited space i thought

[@NcWraith]

Yeah that thing looks dangerous. You are going to get a piece shot back at you because it binds at the fence

[@OREWAEEK]

危なくて見てられない

[@fifthamendment1]

Seems a little under powered

[@markusoberhauser1293]

The Bosch Professional GTM 12 JL - is much better

[@PetreBabanul1]

The worst product of Makita.... I have and I am very disapointed!

[@paulb9376]

Copying Bosch. They did it first, still not impressed

[@felixmotanul5242]

@sergio rives Virutex is cousin with Bosch, if you did not know.

[@felixmotanul5242]

@sergio rives It was just a joke, what did you light up like that?

[@ryansullivan2959]

Dangerous

[@Michael-DeltaWolf]

I don't like it because it don't look safe

[@recyclespinning9839]

I can't watch, looks like it's dangerous and won't do either job very well...

[@marsooh302]

Please learn how to securely use it, you will loose a finger someday

[@jimhare313]

Well… no

[@bobbrock41]

This machine looks like a mess.

[@bingsterc7621]

Personally, I would rather want Makita to design and make their own separate table saw.

[@FixthisCD]

they already had one, model 2705, guess it didn't sell well????

[@FixthisCD]

sure they will do a 40v version sometime

[@givemebackmypurse.6894]

Take my advice or not but please don't wear gloves running a table saw. I've seen it happen twice.
