I got the Dewalt for Christmas. Besides making a bunch of noise when
running it is great. I have not had any problems with it being out of
square but I haven't used it much.
I think that American WW gave it there second best award. It is not as
good as the Porter Cable but I found it refurb on Amazon for almost a
$100 less than the PC. So No complaints on the Dewalt. No experience
with the Makita.

Very happy with mine, it was a toss-up between the DeWalt and Makita,
but the Makita was several dollars cheaper at the WW show. Works
great, have never regretted it.

Does the Makita come with a smaller blade to use for the FF biscuits? I use
that set-up in my PC quite a lot.

That is funny. I am in the market for a joiner and was about to buy the
dewalt and then saw an article saying it was the worst one they tested for
being out of parallel. Most stores around here have it for around $230.00. I
then went looking for a Makita due to the articles great review and noticed
it was $450.00+. (Canadian prices.)
