Well it was going to happen at some point. I managed to break one of my more expensive bits of kit :-( I'd been enjoying a long weekend of woodwork and got hit by the 'trying too much when tired effect'.
So here are some pictures of warning really. What's really annoying is that my camera was in the workshop because I'd intended on writing a review on the offending Mitre Saw, a Makita LS1013. That will have to wait till the spare part arrives. At least when the review appears it will have a section on Makita after sales service!!
To be honest it was stupidity that got me here. Trying to cut something without sufficient support from the fence. The saw dug in, and flung the timbre and took the fence with it.
You can just see the break on the fence
Yes, that should be straight!!
A close up
Here's hoping that makita will be able to sell a spare at a reasonable price. A review will follow, but in case you're wondering, it is an excellent piece of kit, more so when used properly...
