Makita LS1018LN/2 240V 260mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw

Product Information

However it’s decently priced, and DIYers, hobbyists, and woodworkers can also get great benefits from this tool

The Makita LS1018 as mentioned, is a sliding miter saw. This means it has extended crosscutting and miter cutting capabilities.All small-scale maintenance projects involving repairing window frames, laying laminate floors, and sitting can be completed efficiently due to MAKITA LS1018L’s presence. You will be flabbergasted to discover the pull function of MAKITA LS1018L, which is realized by the double tube. The roller bearings are joined to the rear swivel joint through this tube. You can never produce any low-quality blur works while using this saw. Specifications Product To understand the terminology... Mitre, Vs Bevel Vs Compound Vs Sliding Vs Gliding... not all saws work the same way. You'll find that each term builds on the last, adding some feature. While all of these saws can do mitre cuts, (as it's the most basic function) the term "Mitre Saw" while generically true... might be under-selling many saws that have additional capability.

It also can handle a 45° miter cut thru an 8-1/2″ board. So again, really good capacities on the crosscut. But at the decent price and low weight, the do-it-yourselfers can still reap great benefit without spending an arm and a leg. As the Makita LS1018L is equipped with a 260-millimetre wide blade the user can easily cut beams up to 9 centimetres deep. The large blade of MAKITA is indeed quite helpful.The weight of this beast is 26 Kilograms, so it’s pretty lightweight as well. 82.5×53.6×63.3 cm are its space dimensions. It has an electric brake along with an oversized trigger switch. Do you know that its blade guard is also transparent? This makes your life much easier for line cuts.

As with all saws the bag is useless and actually should always have a vacuum attached. Also the laser is hard to see when working out in the sun. But c'mon, it ain't gonna chill your beer for you. A non 90 degree cut, whether that's 5, 10, 30, 45 degrees or anything else.. is a mitre cut. ... Read more Technically, most mitre saws spend most of their time doing 90 degree cuts which if going across the grain, is a "cross cut". But the capacity to do other weird and wonderful angles is why they call them mitre saws. The DIYer can get a lot out of this saw as it would handle about any home-improvement job you could throw at it. Basically, the same benefits as applied to a contractor, only you may not put as many hours on it.It’s built to last and has a decent warranty for the price tag. I would say for non-professionals, this tool will probably last a really long time. It does have a bigger footprint due to the standard slide rails than it’s cousin, the Makita LS1019L, but that saw’s features come with a higher price tag (and total weight).
