Hello,

I just bought and set up a Makita Compound sliding miter saw model LS1013FL. So far it seems like a well built easy to use saw.

The problem I'm having is the laser. It can be set to the left or right of the blade. I either cut the wood too short or too long. Wouldn't it make more sense to line the laser up with the blade ? I am used to using a older Delta miter saw without a laser. Do all the miter saws with a laser line up left or right of the blade? Anyone else have this issue? For the time being I just turn the laser off and line the mark the wood with the blade. Thanks

Joe
