The Makita LS1019L combines exceptional cutting capacity, precision accuracy, and efficient dust extraction in a compact, space-saving design. Featuring a unique two-steel rail sliding system, the saw operates flush against a wall—reducing its footprint without sacrificing performance.
Its innovative direct-drive gearbox and blade guard system deliver the largest vertical cutting capacity in its class, allowing cuts up to 5-1/4″ baseboard (vertical) and 6-5/8″ crown molding (nested)—comparable to many 12″ miter saws. It also crosscuts 4×12 material at 90°, making it ideal for trim carpentry, remodeling, and finish work.
Powered by a 15-amp direct-drive motor, the LS1019L provides smooth start-ups, constant power under load, and reduced maintenance thanks to the absence of belts.
