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°. The saw 0 m to 60 m left and right, with positive stops at 0 m, 15 m, 22.5 m, 31.6 m, 45 m and 60 m (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 WST06 Compact Folding Miter Saw Stand.

Saw takes up less space than my 10”
Evie Hamill (verified owner) –
So far so good! Well built and sturdy and works perfectly with my Makita miter saw. Not too heavy but heavy enough to not shift during use. Definitely recommend it!
Mallory Greenholt (verified owner) –
It’s light and easy to put it together

This saw is a winner. It’s operation is smooth and accurate. The dust collection using a vacuum is excellent! This saw is a great Kapex contender, and if you require a 12″ blade, in a class of It’s own. This replaced a Gen 2 Metabo 12″ sliding compound miter saw that also slid forward on fixed rails. The Metabo was noisy, sticky in the slide, and had bad blade runout. It was basically a cheap Chinese copy of the fine Hitachi saws of the past. Sad but true. Buy the Makita and enjoy.

Product came defective, I had to fix myself, Home Depot should refund me some money. Product works good now that I fixed it.

This saw was solid performed as expected.

Great saw! Out of the box perfect
Jabari Bartell (verified owner) –
Easy set-up, nice finish, readily adjustable side supports. One leg appears to telescope to help level it (had not yet tried), though having more legs with that feature would help on very uneven terrain.

Stand was super easy to assemble and fitting my Ryobi 12” compound sliding miter saw was a snap with no modifications needed. Have now used it yet but it seems to meet my needs well.

The setup was easy and the operation is very smooth. It has more power than I can believe and cuts very precisely.
Vladimir Parisian (verified owner) –
Far better than the yellow or red competitors. Expect to spend an hour or so on setup: instructions written in English but . . .

Top of line saw. Professional grade.

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