The Makita 12 in. 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 in.) and crown molding (8 in. nested). It will also make 15 in. crosscuts at 90°s. 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. This Promotion also comes with a bonus AF506 2 in. Brad Nailer, 18 Gauge.

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.

The laser is extremely accurate. Good range of travel for the saw blade. 12” blade accommodates large pieces of wood. Good two-shute vacuum system. Yep.

Easy to assemble and is just overall a beast of a saw. Dust collection is the best i have seen yet. Definitely recommend.

I love this saw!! I am still figuring out all of the little nuances of it but this saw is very well made and they really thought of everything when it comes to functionality and quality. I love that it can be setup against a wall and slides toward you. The footprint of the saw is very smart and it can function in several size shops.

It is a really beefy saw. Has plenty of power are is very precise. It’s dust collection works well, I would give it five star but where it connects to dust collection is very short and my hose fall out quite often, might also be my hose but it’s still short

Makita makes a very high quality tool. I checked all the angles out of the box and they were spot on. I have only done molding so far, so I can’t comment on slide accuracy, but so far I think I made the right choice. Dust collection with a vacuum attached is very good.

It was a Christmas and birthday gift for my oldest grandson and he says it is great and he loved it.

The saw is really awesome! I love it. The Makita is above and beyond a better technical saw than the Dewalts, Bosch, and other unmentionables. On a rating scale it is definitely higher in quality and precision than the Dewalt – and very similar in execution to the Festool Kapex. The dust collection is a 6/10. They still need to work on the details. My suggestion is to use a formal shop vacuum for extraction over a shop vac. But I would rate this a 10 over any other brand. Last note. The 10″ for some reason feels more refined and tighter. But the 12″ does the real work. And is super precise.

Excellent reliable nailer

Was looking at a Festool – too expensive. Reviews recommended this saw as the most likely competition at less than 1/2 the price.Very heavy duty – quality machine. Dust collector seems to work better than most.

Far better than the yellow or red competitors. Expect to spend an hour or so on setup: instructions written in English but . . .
