Overall this is a great saw. My biggest complaint is the fencing system and not being able to slide the fence to support certain types of applications. If you do any large base and crown molding, this miter saw is perfect for you. It’s got a tall fence system and an impressive cutting depth capacity. To achieve this increased cutting capacity, Makita designed the overall system of components they call the DXT(TM) – Deep and Exact Cutting Technology.

Unique 2-Steel Rail Sliding System design offers single slide-glide operation; reduced saw footprint allows operation flush against a wall For miter saws, dust typically flies in all directions and is hard to take control of. This built-in dust collection is a huge improvement over many competitors, and is a big selling point for this Makita 10″. Integrated upper and lower 4-3/4" tall fence system offers added rigidity for more precise miter and bevel cuts From the large aluminum surface area to work on, to the large easy-to-read dual bevel scale, this miter saw is fantastic to work with. It comes with positive miter stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, 45, and 60 degrees, both 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.

When I first saw the Makita LS1019L in Dallas on our Makita trip, I thought it was cool, but it didn’t make me turn my head. Not because of the saw or the technology, but because I am stubborn. At the time I was already sold on the Dewalt DWS780 as being the king of miter saws and for a shop saw, the Bosch CM12SD Glide Saw as it saves room on your work bench. I didn’t need to be sold on a new saw. This saw is great for contractors because of it’s impressive cutting capacities, great power, and small footprint due to the unique rail system Makita uses. This style that Makita has pioneered places the rails beside the saw, instead of extending out behind it. That means you can use it in more confined spaces and smaller wood shops. The blade guard is see-through which helps line up the cut faster. It’s got a large, over-sized trigger switch for added comfort and less hand-fatigue on large jobs. A couple users indicated that the rails are slightly off square, meaning the blade drags just a bit on long sliding cuts

Opinions Based On Real User Experiences

Built-in laser clearly indicates line-of-cut whether blade is turning or not; on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise "left-of-blade" or "right-of-blade" cutting The Makita LS1019 dual-bevel sliding compound mitre saw combines capacity, accuracy and efficient dust extraction with a reduced footprint.

I know some larger wood shops may not have this issue, but either way, dust collection is still important. And unless you’re willing to build a dust collection box around your miter saw, the dust system built-in to the Makita LS1019L is one of the best you can get. What makes it a perfect option for carpenters is the direct drive motor design with a soft start. Indeed, most of the miter saws in the market operate on belt drives that get stretched with time and need replacement. Its direct-drive motor is powerful enough to give a sound cutting experience. Certainly, you are able to cut tougher materials with much ease too. Another good thing about the design is its rail system that allows the positioning of saw flush to the wall without losing cross-cutting capacity. Usage:
