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.... some old things are lovely
