I actually still use it, specifically for base board.
You can bang it around in the truck all you want and it never needs a true up

Me three. I have the 10" one that was superseded with an 8-1/4. I run 8-1/4 or 7-1/4 blades in it instead of the 10". I have it in a GM parts crate that substitutes for a stand and dust collection box when set up. It just happened to fit perfectly. Stows in the truck with all the accessories in one box. On a 4-wheel dolly it's at a decent height and rolls from room to room. There's a hole drilled in the lower side if I want to use a vac.
The thing about the Makita is that it is screaming loud!! Louder than my planer. I'd never buy that again but like Greg, I used it since the mid 80's. It's buried now and I have seen it in 2 years. I see it's worth about 50 bucks IF you can get someone to buy it.
