The table is quite large and gives you a lot of room for wider crosscuts. These saws have nine positive stops at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° in both directions (left and right) and at 0° (90 degree cuts). They also have an electronic speed control which helps you maintain constant speed irrespective of the load. The soft start feature in these saws has been much appreciated by pros and novices alike.

The positive stops are too perfect to make small, half degree changes. It is very hard to make small changes as the saw tends to pop back into the original position again.

The crown molding stops, which are optional, do not fit properly in the table. However, since they are not a regular feature in these saws, a lot of people do not seem to have a problem with them.

The table lock handle is a tad too lengthy and sticks out considerably. You need to be really careful while operating the equipment so that you do not accidentally bend or break the handle.

However, the advantages certainly outweigh the disadvantages. So, I think 10 Inch Makita Miter Saws are definitely a good choice for you.
