The Makita 10″ dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw with laser (model LS1019L) combines capacity, accuracy and efficient dust extraction in a more compact size, with a unique 2-steel rail sliding system that offers a reduced footprint for operation flush against a wall. The innovative direct-drive gearbox and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity of baseboard (5-1/4″) and crown molding (6-5/8″ nested), the largest in its class. It will also crosscut a 4×12 at 90 degrees. The saw miters 0 degree to 60 degree left and right, with positive stops at 0 degree, 15 degree, 22.5 degree, 31.6 degree, 45 degree and 60 degree (left or right). The bevel lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0 degree to 48 degree (left and right). The saw is powered by a 15 amp direct drive motor with soft start, a key point of difference. Direct drive enables smoother start-ups and consistent, constant power with no belts to slip or replace. The electric brake provides added convenience. In addition, the electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load for smoother, higher-quality cutting. Additional features include a high-quality 60T carbide-tipped blade, with a see-through blade guard system for greater visibility of the blade and line-of-cut. The built-in laser indicates the line-of-cut whether the blade is turning or not, and offers micro-adjustments for precise left-of-blade or right-of-blade cutting. For improved dust extraction it has an improved dust collection capability for use with a bag (included) or vacuum (sold separately). It also has a large-sized aluminum base that improves the stability of cutting stock for more efficient cutting.
