Description
The Makita 12 Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser (model 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. The saw miters 0 to 60 left and right, with positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, 45 and 60 (left or right). The bevel lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0 to 48 (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.

Laser is spot on. Did not have larger Allen wrench. Had smaller one. Advertised as more compact but rather large for shelf storage. Should have incorporated The vacuum system hose into the Sawdust bag outlet. Still, a good saw.

Have you by the Sun don’t love it your way too picky this is a fantastic piece of equipment
Winston Hauck (verified owner) –
Truly exceptional saw, well designed and functable. Love dust capture system. Required minor adjustment for trueing out of box. Also … excellent instruction manual although .pdf version is better.

Awesome saw so far.

I have been a cabinet, Furniture Builder & Finish Carpenter for 30+years. I have owned and used Many chop saws over the years. I have been using this saw now for about a month. This saw is big & Heavy, but since it is set up permanently in my shop in a dedicated Bench it basically is perfect for my needs. The saw has great dust collection and works well with just a shop vac plugged into an automatic switch. When I turn on the saw the vac comes on as well. The tilt with locking knob up front is much easier than past models that had the mechanism in the back. The Laser is an added bonus.

Upgraded from an old miter saw, this this is amazing, didn’t cut perfectly straight out of the box, but after about 3 minutes of tweaking the saw, it cuts perfectly. Very satisfied with the product
Mauricio Mayer (verified owner) –
Excellent overall. The laser is difficult to adjust, still working on it. The slots for adjusting the miter angle should be longer. I reached very near the end of the slot to get a perfect 90 degrees. Also the dust collector connection should be at the bottom rather than at the top of the slide arm.

Great in almost every way but be prepared to align blade to the rails. When you find out it is misaligned ad you most certainly will by cutting from both sides of the wide board you can align it easily by loosening the two sets screws at the ends of the ends of the rails. Stick a one by four between the rails and gently twist them and re-tighten the set screws. Do a standard wide board test cut from both directions and itterate until the overlaps align. Mine was A millimeter out of alignment and I was able to bring it to within .05 mm of alignment.

I had a Makita 12” for 20 yrs. . Finally had to replace. Been in trade going on fifty yrs. This saw is best I’ve found. A little deferent handle than old but just as good

Great product!! Just wish the laser was easier turn off and on or an automatic off timer

The Makita LS1219L is an outstanding mitre saw. The saw did not need any adjustments out of the box. It seems they worked out the issues when they originally released the saw a couple of years ago. Plenty of power and features make this saw an essential for all kinds of carpentry work. I do not regret purchasing this saw and would do it again. Compliments to Home Depot for their online ordering and ease of pickup at the store.

Top of line saw. Professional grade.

I have tried the saws that are green and yellow in color. I have read reviews about the makita and I will say this saw is really good quality. Every piece of equipment may have issues because of the buyers lack of or shipping problems. The saw is super well built and cuts are accurate. This was delivered by fedex. Extremely quiet. Less noise than a microwave. I paid $400.00 dollars more than I wanted to but the others had many issues right out of the box. I pull the trigger and cut moulding like a hot knife on warm butter. All of my Makita equipment have been working well for years and should have purchased this first.
Mackenzie Friesen (verified owner) –
Everything about this saw is solid from the table to the miter slide and locking mechanisms for all of the adjustments. I’ve had a used the rigid 12″ with similar functions and it doesn’t even compare to the Makita. I’m so glad I finally bought this saw. The rails for the slide are stationary which makes it so smooth and accurate. The miter adjustment knob and system are very solid and stable and is really easy to pivot. I’d have to say this is a very strong design and a true asset for a craftsman to have.

This saw was solid performed as expected.

This was an upgrade from the 10″ Makita saw I’ve been using for years, both great saws.
