Makita LS1019L Miter Saw with Laser, 10 in Dia Blade

The Makita 10 in 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 two-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 in) and crown molding (6-5/8 in nested), the largest in its class. It will also crosscut a 4 x 12 at 90 deg. The saw is powered by a 15 A 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. 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.
