The Makita LS 1214 save a couple of bucks and get the Makita LS 1013 will do all the same stuff

Dont we all love spending others money.

I own the LS 1013 and its a great saw, but the LS1214 which didn't exist when I got my saw, is useful when framing. (The old 12" had a tiny table so I didnt buy it). With a bit of thought, you can cut a 100X100 on the 1013 but not with one cut. I dont think the 1214 isnt that much more anyway and probably worth it.

So in concluding, I think you bought an excellent saw.

You are right boban it is a great saw. It depends on what your doing with it
for me the 1013 is enough so I guess You get a bit fond of what youve got.
and though I love spending others money I was just trying to spend as little as possible




Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.

The reason you need to square up a board to use on a TS is because you can have the fence, blade and all other parts on a TS set up square.
As this is not the case on a triton you can use warped stock, it will match all the components of the saw that are not square.

Redgy,

Good option on the LS1214. I have the same saw and it is great. As I said before I also started with the contractors version of the TSC10 and was happy for a while.

My only advice for you is don't look at the TSC10HB until you can afford it because once you use one you will have to have it

Never again would I have a Holden or a Ford since we had Toyota's, and being on my 3rd Landcruiser I would have to say I have found nothing that will outperform, tow or handle better.

Yes Iain you are most probably right but the japs used a business tactic in the first place to reduce the effectiveness of any opposition.
They created a market with cheap cars which most probably effected the older companies sales and then the older companies were most probably crippled.
But would agree I shall now have to buy a jap car now Rover seem to have finished. (My present Rover is now 12 years old and the only thing I have replaced was a distributor cap) I occassionly beat a Jag off the lights when I'm in an aggressive mood.

Thats a pretty broad statement!
When buying my last runnabout car(Ford FocusST170, my avatar)out of all the cars I tested the worst was a Toymotor Corolla sportivo... the focus shat all over it in every aspect except price!(allthough the focus is German made...)

I thought that Rover were powered by HOnda for more than the past decade.
Harry, your little beast may be the exception but I am generalising, stock standard Commodore/Falcon versus equivalent size Japanese manufacturer.
My wife used to drive a Honda City Cabriolet Turbo, looked sort of funny but it fairly flew and handled well, plus the Japs seemed to have electrics that work all the time with no little glitches.
Having said that I used to drive a BMW (made in Florida :mad: ) which was good and I would seriously consider another, in fact I would love the new M5 but I hate to think how much this 0-100 in 4.3 secs is going to cost.
But if you want rough, look at Korean cars.

Jap cars non jap almost as good as triton non triton this fisherman has done it again and to think no one mentioned mitsubishi who make cars in Australia


I think that it had a lot to do with the sneaky way they put radio's and heaters in their cars as stock standard in those early imports
mind you when I think back there were some terrible ones too the Honda fast back the 500 cc chain driven one
then we can also think Lada
or austin 1800
etc...



I smile because I <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[img] /><st1:PersonName style=[/img]don</st1:PersonName>'t know what the hell is going on.

So do Toyota, but you can also buy fully imported which seem a touch better.
Mitsubishi are also cleaning up with their long warranty (conditions apply??? no idea), but on the whole they are a lot better now than the early Mitsbishi Stigma.
If you want a genuine Triton, Aussie made, by George prior to the Hills takeover, I've got one, make an offer

Iain
I remember when the stigma was almost compulsory for every family
And as for the warranty if it had been left up to only locals wtih no imports holden would still have the 12/12 warranty.

As for the triton I already have one minus the table top as i took up their $100 back deal and got a 2000 with lifter and wheels
was a bit embarrased to trade as i had recoated the table twice and made some holes in it for jigs etc but the fact that it wasn't the right colour didn't worry them .



Being "over the hill" is much better than being under it!

[QUOTE=One of the more troublesome issues with Triton is that the removeable tables on both the workcentre and router stand are prone to movement up and down slightly which causes "steps" on the timber as you cut it or rout it. Some members use slips of paper to space this back up or file notches to let it down a bit.

Quite right, to overcome the problem of the table top surface dipping when routing, i cut a plywood ring to fit between the top and the router carrier, it works! However, i will be looking to get one of the router lifts and making a proper router table surface to fit between the rails of my table saw

cheers and good luck
