By t hie: end, of our testing, two dual-bevel saws had risen to the head of this class: the Bosch ,44101 and the Maklta LS101116L,., Both models provide test-leading miter ranges fro m - 6'--·: 0° ri ~hl~ to .. ·!· ,52 ~ :~ of' t w"rnfh. '~O: c k-sol ~id' 1_
detent-so The Bosch has nine miter detents and, five bevel stOPIS .. We like its microadjuster for fine- -, unlng In iter angles and, its included table extensions for extra support
But the Makita edges past the Bosch with a soft-start motor and more miter detents ( 0) and bevel S"OPi$ (7)~ t also 'has the smoothest sliding and plunging action in. the test, t he ta Best fence (by ~ U) r and the only factory-supplied blade capable of making fumlture-quallty cuts", For all this, the LSI016L earns our ~op' Tool honor,
Jf you'd ~ike to get a slider but can't spring for the Makita, consider Craftsman's ,21237' for just $25.011' OUf Top Value, This saw has few amentt ies, but it ;;5 accurate when set U-:Pl correctly, and, although sU,ghtly underpowered, It: cuts acceptably wl th a. slower fe,ed rate, "
