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 degrees. 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. Additional features include a high-quality 60T carbide-tipped blade, and a see-through blade guard system for greater visibility of the blade and line-of-cut. The built-in laser indicates the line-of-cut whether the blade is turning or not, and offers micro-adjustments for precise “left-of-blade” or “right-of-blade” cutting. It has dual dust collection ports for improved dust collection capability for use with a bag (included) or vacuum (sold separately). It also has a large-sized aluminum base that improves the stability of cutting stock for more efficient cutting. Features Rail forward design enables saw to be placed against wall to maximize effective workspace Integrated guide fence and lower fence increases rigidity and support of materials Front bevel knob enables easy adjustment without reaching for operator convenience and precise setting of bevel angle Constant speed control maintains constant speed under heavy load Soft start feature gradually increases speed to eliminate start up shock Electric brake stops blade quickly after trigger is released for increased operator safety Laser marker enables accurate alignment of blade and cutting line Bevel capacity of 48o left or right with positive stops at 0o, 22.5o, 33.9o, 45o & 48o Mitre capacity of 60o left or right with positive stops at 0o, 15o, 22.5o, 31.6o, 45o & 60o Large mitre table ideal for use with wide materials Easy to operate mitre angle lock with free spin releasing lever and locking lever Improved dust collection with dual dust collection ports Horizontal handle design with 2 stage safety switch for increased operator safety Ergonomic horizontal soft rubber grip design for vibration absorption and comfortable operation Includes 12" C.T.
