The Makita 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser (model LS1019L) delivers large cutting capacity and accuracy right out of the box. With the LS1019L, you will get all the cutting performance you need in a slide compound saw, but with the most compact size in the category for increased portability. With up to 6-5/8 in. capacity (crown molding, nested) jobs like cutting baseboards and crown molding are a snap, but with up to 4-3/4 in. baseboard, capacity, it can cut 4 x 4 dimensional lumber in 1-pass. It’s ideal for fine woodworking, carpentry, general construction, and more. The LS1019L is powered by a 15 Amp direct drive motor with soft start, a key point of difference. This means smoother start-ups and consistent, constant power with no belts to slip or replace. The electric brake provides added convenience. The LS1019L will tackle the most demanding jobs while keeping production high. This Promotion also comes with a bonus AF601 16 Gauge, 2-1/2″ Straight Finish Nailer.

I really like the extremely small footprint this saw has. So close to the wall. I checked it out and it came out of the box right on spec. It cuts great. I would recommend this especially for a small shop. I am a cabinet builder so I need cuts to be right on.

Easily manageable nail gun, comfortable grip. Lighter than my last nailer – which broke apart after over 25 years of service, RIP. Loads easily (I think most of the newer 16g finish nailers load similarly) at times shorter clips of nails have to be jiggled down into magazine a bit – no big deal. Just did a bunch of interior door and window trim, no mis-fires. Tip does not mar wood trim (also comes with spare tip in case that one wears down eventually). Has a dust-clearing feature, valve at bottom of handle releases air towards the magazine – have not tried this feature (and might never). Easy depth adjustment knob, works well. I use this for more precision interior trim, will not likely use the multi-fire trigger position either – but this feature is available for more production style work. Sinks nails nicely, no firing pin dents next to the nails – which was a feature of my last nailer. Jam release works easily, but as stated above no mis-fires at all so far with a couple full clips of different length nails. Does require oil, small bottle provided to get you started. Hard case included, also extra pair of safety glasses and hanging/ belt clip. Does what it’s supposed to do.

I just got my saw today and got it set up on a temporary stand (I will build a miter saw station for it in the next few days). It arrived in perfect condition. I’ve seen some reviews saying the Makita packaging for this saw wasn’t good. That wasn’t true for me – the packaging was very good. The saw was in a sturdy box, that was then wrapped in another set of thick cardboard top and bottom pieces with very strong and thick cardboard corners that protected it well. I literally have never used a compound miter saw before, but it didn’t take me long to get the saw set up. I put the blade on (which was a bit of a struggle, since I had never done it before, but took me less than 5 minutes to figure out anyway), adjusted the kerf slot for a 90-degree cut, and that was pretty much it. I made a few test cuts on some scrap 1×4 pine I had, and although my testing certainly wasn’t extensive, the cuts I made came out perfectly square right out of the box, and they were incredibly smooth, with no tear-out at all on the back side. Adjusting the miter and bevel angles is easy. The kerf slot needs to be adjusted when making bevel cuts, but it’s easy to do that (just remove the fences, loosen four screws, adjust the kerf slot pieces, tighten the screws, and put the fence back in place – takes less the 5 minutes). The laser worked well, but it might need to be adjusted a bit to match the cut line exactly. It can be adjusted to match the cut line on either the left or right side of the blade, but I haven’t tried to adjust it yet. I really liked that I could see right where the cut would be, which for me not only helped to make an accurate cut, but more importantly, gave me more confidence that I was cutting safely. I hooked up my old shop vac to it, and the dust collection seemed to be pretty good. There was still some sawdust around the saw, but less than I expected. All-in-all, this saw seems to be excellent quality (especially for the price – about 1/3 the price of the Festool miter saw, but with most of the same features).

Flawless setup and function–great blade with very clean cuts; laser line cutting accurate and a great addition to this line.

I have a 35 year old Makita circular saw which still cuts and runs like a dream. My Son with his huge arms complained of the weight of it lol. Told him it was built to last hahahaha. This nailer has a couple of features I really like. One of which is at the push of a button you can blow off the area where you are working. It is simple to operate and well made. Super easy to load and should you have a jam it is easy to clear out. One thing I do wish it had is the quick connector is not the swivel type and straight out. Swivel type is far superior for operational use. Overall I am extremely well pleased with this nailer.

Would give 5 stars if the lock lever wasn’t broken apon receipt of the saw. Especially since the replacement part is out of stock. I have been waiting for a month to see the new part. Guess I’ll have to call someone again. Out of square out of box easily adjusted. Awesome saw but no locking lever s

The drill was very difficult to mount on our leg/bench system, no screws or bolts were provided. What did the manufacturer think we were going to do with it? Hold it on our laps?? Other than that, it works very well, instructions are clear and it was easy to set up (AFTER we got in on the bench).

After extensive research reading reviews and watching videos on miter saws, I came down to choosing between this Makita (Model # LS1019L), the DeWalt DW717, 10″ double-bevel sliding compound miter saw, and the Bosch Glide Miter GCM12SD. I chose the Makita. Primary reasons: it has the same or better cutting capacity of 12″ saws, the soft start feature, the bevel unlock/lock knob is right in front and easy to use, the off-set slide bars result in reduced space taken up behind the saw, the dual dust collection ports, and the fact that a 10″ blade costs less than a 12″ (over time it adds up). Shipping was fast. Packaging left a lot to be desired as the box had several tears and the saw and loose components were basically separated by pieces of cardboard. Several loose pieces had obviously bounced around and the rubberized guard around the blade had come off. With that said however, I was surprised and happy to see there was no damage to the saw. The setup was easy, the alignments were correct right out of the box, the table was level, and everything worked consistently over many trial cuts. My dislikes are few……when talking to Makita about adapters for the dust vacuum ports, they aren’t much help. Makita does not make an adapter and simply suggests going to HomeDepot and buying plastic plumbing parts. I have several vacuum ports on equipment in my shop and a central system so I have pieces and parts. I purchased the POWERTEC 70175 Dust Collection Hose with Fittings Plus Two Reducers on Amazon and was able to connect my vac system.I did not like any of the Makita rolling miter saw stands so I mounted the saw on the Delta Power Equipment Corporation 36-267 Foldable Miter Saw Stand (see picture). It is similar to the Bosch Gravity rise rolling stand, but costs less. It works great with this saw. The only “adapting” you need to do is shorten the attachment bolts in front as their length will interfere with turning the table. It was easy to simply cut them off, which I did with a hand grinder fitted with a cut off blade once the bolts were in place (see pictures). I’ve had the saw a few weeks now and I’m very happy with this purchase so far. It has met and/or exceeded my expectations.

Space saver heaven! Having the Slade action where it is saves my workshop trailer 13” from rear of sliding action. My old alder needed 13” more room in the rear! This is a must have for anyone that has limited room or wants to maximize their area. Also have all the levers in front is a dream come true! Older models you have to do a “reach around” to adjust your bevel! No more! Must have miter saw

Very nice sliding miter saw. Quite, accurate, and has a huge 12″ capacity for cross cut. The soft start is really nice as the saw does not kick when the switch is engaged. Very well worth the money. On par with much more expensive saws for sure.
