12 DualBevel Compound Miter Saw

The Makita 12″ Dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw (LS1219L) 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 (6-3/4″) and crown molding (8″ nested). It will also make 15″ crosscuts at 90掳. The saw miters 0掳 to 60掳 left and right, with positive stops at 0掳, 15掳, 22.5掳, 31.6掳, 45掳 and 60掳 (left or right). The bevel lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0掳 to 48掳 (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, and 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. It has dual dust collection ports for 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.
