    Default Makita 255mm Compound Mitre Saw

    Got the bunnings catalog today and noticed a Makita 255mm Compund Mitre Saw for $379. Unfortunately it doesnt have a model number. I was under the impression something like this should cost a minimun of $600. Am I missing something or is this a fantastic deal. (unfortunately I suspect I am missing something.)

    Well it could be this one:
    M243 255mm Compound Mitre Saw



    Precision machined aluminium base, with full calibration markings
    Solid one piece guide fence that keeps a dead straight line to perform true mitres
    Bevel cuts 45° left only
    Electric brake
    Dust extraction to bag or vacuum
    Included accessories:
    Standard - Wrench, dust bag, Holders x 2, vertical vise, trinagular rul

    If so it is quite a good saw.
    As you can see it is labelled as being from the weekender range so is possibly a little more lightly built.
    I bought one about 6 months ago and it has served me well.

    Of course for the price it may be the Makita LS1040 which is a very nice saw
    Sydney Tools has these:
    Makita 255mm 10' 1650W Compound Mitre Saw 1650W
    AU$349.00
