Makita LS1013L 15 Amp 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser

Cheap Makita LS1013L 15 Amp 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser Review

I had this saw for several months. It is a powerful but quiet SILKY SMOOTH saw right.

It is surprisingly high due to the drag functionality. I had to move my work bench to welcome him.

Make sure you have ENOUGH behind the saw.

I regretted my choice and wish I had gone with a bevel compound as the Dewalt 716 until I had to cut 2x12 last weekend. The Makita went through them as if they were so 1 / 4 "plywood conscoated with peanut butter.

WOW GREAT lumberjack!

Obviously a decent blade for the saw.

I really like the separate switch for the laser, I can use to align my cup without running the saw.

NO Why five stars?

Dust is not great. I put an adapter instead of the dust bag and attached my Shop Vac. It helped, but the system of an empty bench near the top of the blade protection is still needed or perhaps a scoop at the rear ofsaw attached to a real dust collection system.

My saw arrived with a broken lever bevel. It is only a part of $ 4, so I decided to order me rather than a problem with Amazon or anyone else. I also wanted optional accessories.

There is virtually no barrier on the right side of the blade. However, there is a factory option available is complementary closing a horizontal flange.

I went to a shelter nearby who seems to specialize in Makita where they have abig screen and they had representatives on the plant site several times in the past. When the salesman looked at the closing price of the attachment clip and they almost had to call 911 to restart my heart. Together, they cost more than 1/4th of the price of the new saw.

Even if I have a scandal for the bevel lever and attachment to the right fence.

The wait for the bevel lever was approx. one week. Good service, good price for a 3 "piece of plastic.
A few months later 2 + attachment closing never happened. I hope this is not so, I made a homemade setting that works, but is not, of course, so pretty. But the fact is quite as nice and about $ 5 per square inch of the fence is a Makita littttle expensive if it happens EVER.

This is a great saw, but it scares me to think what will or will not occur if the saw crashes and I have to wait an essential and very important! The letters S - O - L aheadmind.

Makita LS1013L 15 Amp 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser Overview

Innovative engineering and quality construction come together in the Makita LS1013L 10-in. slide-compound power miter saw. This professional-duty machine is a dual-bevel saw that tilts 45 degrees to the left and to the right, allowing you to make bevel cuts without having to flip around the board. Its oversized aluminum worktable rotates 45 degrees to the left and 52 degrees to the right for miter cuts. Set both the bevel and miter angles to make compound-angle cuts, such as when installing crown molding.

The saw also has a built-in laser that clearly highlights cut line for quick, safe, accurate cuts. However, unlike most miter saws, the laser on this Makita model is mounted above the blade, not to the arbor. That means you don’t have to turn on the saw to activate the laser. Another nice feature is that the laser is independently switched, so you can turn it on or off whenever you’d like.

The saw carriage slides on two precision-ground steel rails that are fitted with ball bearing guides. The result is a vibration-free smooth-rolling saw that produces precise, consistent cuts, even at the outer limits of the slide mechanism. By the way, this 49-pound tool can crosscut a 2-by-12 and bevel-cut boards up to 3-5/8 inch thick. The LS1013L has a souped-up 15-amp, 3,700-rpm direct-drive motor that transfers cutting power to the blade much more efficiently than typical belt-driven saws.

The saw comes with a dust-collection bag, hold-down vise, two extension wings, 70-tooth carbide-tipped saw blade and blade wrench. This versatile saw can handle a wide range of carpentry jobs from house framing and deck building to cabinetmaking and interior trim work. -- Joseph Truini
