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 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 4x12 at 90 degrees

The saw miters 0 to 60 degrees left and right, with positive stops at 0, 15, 22

5, 31

6, 45 and 60 degrees (left or right)

The bevel lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0 to 48 degrees (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 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
