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. This Promotion also comes with a bonus AF601 16 Gauge, 2-1/2″ Straight Finish Nailer.

Makita GREATLY improved the shipping packaging, saw was perfect, box a little dinged up (for store pickup.) Bevel stop was dead square, miter was 0.75 deg off, but using the detents to help set the angle gauge made it perfect fast. Fences very nice and square, dust shoot works shockingly well.

I was looking for a new compound slide miter saw that takes up little room so I reviews on this one & bought it the only thing I wish was better is the laser being a little more adjustable so I can set it to where I want it to cut but I’m getting use to it how I have it adjusted otherwise it is a great saw I like the slow start of it not full power right away.

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

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.

Very light, easy handling nailer. This nailer replaces a first gen all electric made by a competitor that has red tools. The very minor drawback of requiring air tool oil is worth the slight hassle. Don’t hesitate. Buy now and enjoy.

This Mitre saw is an engineering marvel and the operating system is very simple yet extremely accurate. This is my third Makita saw and the improvements from my first to present have exceeded my expectations

Perfect right out of the box! Definitely took some practice and instruction reading to understand all the features and controls. I have been a Makita saw user for over 20 years, they have never disappointed me.
