Mine is holding up fine despite wearing out two Forrest Chopmasters
down through the years.


My LS1013 is about 6 years old and gets used often. I'm not a pro but
I'm constantly doing work for friends and relatives. It's still dead
nuts accurate.

I looked at Mikita's web site and the saw is now the LS1016L. 10" with a
laser. Google shows it to be about $450. In my opinion it's well worth
the money.


My tool inventory spreadsheet shows that I paid $489 for the LS1013 in
2001, so they are either getting less expensive, or the product has
gotten "cheaper" in quality?


When I bought mine I think the normal "list" price was about $640. I
bought it one sale at Home Depot for about the same price you paid.
