Need advice on Makita LS1013 Miter saw

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
Hi Guys. Ive finally decided on a Makita LS1013, the double bevel one. I saw a post recently that said to make sure the blade doesnt ever bind or you will have a broken gear drive.I wish this saw was belt driven,but has anyone had an experience like this or know anybody who has? What do you think of belt vs. gear drive.Thanks in advance, Marty
