Description

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.

    • Amazing and accurate! Hope you read this
Style: Miter Saw
I am a full-time builder of 20 years and have owned and used a variety of miter saws over the years. I've personably always owned DeWalt miter saws and have used other contractors' Makita saws and always liked them, but wasn't sure how they would hold up for my particular work. I, like many others, was interested in this saw because I liked the small footprint in my garage workspace compared to my DeWalt, knowing also that I would be transporting the Makita to/from the job site at least half the month. My decision after extensive research came down to this saw or the Bosch axial glide. You should know I was extremely hesitant to purchase this saw -- from Amazon, for sure, based on some of the reviews and unboxing/shipping mishaps photos on here; but also, based on reviews elsewhere online, which indicated this saw might have a manufacturing problem with regards to zeroing it out and getting accurate cuts when the saw is fully extended (having to do with the slide bars not being coplanar to one another, it seemed). I decided to order the Makita anyway (the Bosch looks nice and is less expensive as of this writing, but I just felt the Makita might be the better bet over time based on my knowledge of Makita's heritage). Amazon's return policy helped make that decision. And I couldn't be happier that I ordered it. Maybe I was just lucky, but my saw arrived in an undamaged box with an undamaged saw within. The packaging was robust and they had styrofoam and padding where it should have been to protect it from rough shipping and handling. Maybe they changed this packaging system since those negative reviews? I don't know. I just know mine came totally intact. Putting the saw together took all of five minutes, and then checking/adjusting all the tolerances took another hour or so, with only minor adjustments needed to get it perfect. The saw fences were perfectly aligned and plumb out of the box, as was the the head's/blade's squareness to the fences -- all the way out to 15". That's amazing! The zero-degree bevel was a half degree off, but the adjustment for this was painless and quick (the instructions tell you exactly how to adjust this, and it requires the same Allen key that changing the blade requires -- handily stored in the tool itself). Once the zero-degree bevel was adjusted, each 45-degree bevel were perfect as well. The table was about perfectly flat as well, and I could only barely slide a sliver of very thin paper under my straightedge in a few spots on the right side of the table. Use feeler gauges if you're keen. I didn't bother. I'm a carpenter and woodworker, not a machinist, so for me, the paper method worked fine. I tested it outside of the usual squares and straightedges, too, using actual 2x and 4x material and checking the material after a cut. Perfect and accurate cuts once adjusted! What can I say other than I am thrilled with the saw and also with how it arrived. Per negative reviews: Yes, the tall fences cannot be slid out (only removed) for large bevel angles. That's not an issue for my work: I don't cut large crown. My work involves wide pieces of trim, wide fascia and wide pieces of hardwood, so the tall fences come off for large bevel angles and that still leaves plenty of fence for 2x material. Needing tall fences for 4x material in my line of work may indicate the need for me to have a more precise miter station and/or to joint and plane the material better. Your common material usage will determine if the fences are an issue or not. They are not for me. Also common in negative reviews was some play in the saw head when extended all the way out. Well, I figured there would be at least some play in this Makita (all my older DeWalt sliders had some small degree of play as well). But I have zero play in the blade and saw head when the saw extends. Zero. It's surprisingly stiff through its range of motion. Maybe this will loosen in time? I don't know. Couple these tolerances with good sawing techniques on my part, and proper transporting practices, and I expect this saw to deliver excellent cuts for years. And yes, as other have noted, the detent plate is a concern of mine (it's aluminium). I'll have to wait and see how this holds up. I think NOT being aggressive with adjusting the base's angle should help considerably. Time will tell. At least Makita will send a new one if it looses accuracy. And then it takes all of ten minutes to install the new one and square it up. No big deal for me, personally. And yes, this saw is heavy and will be a mild burden to move to/from the job. It's a 12" sliding compound-miter saw: they are ALL heavy. If weight And transport are concerns and hefting 65 pounds is a burdeos, I would say look for a smaller saw and don't knock a 12" slider saw for what it is. What else is there to say? Despite the several online criticisms of this saw and its packaging and shipping, I ended up with what I had hoped for and what Makita has built its name around: a quality tool that should last years before it needs any repairs. It's a great saw! Things I needed to see and use to really appreciate and which set this saw apart: I really love the detent override switch at the thumb, and the bevel adjustment knob is a fantastic solution to not having to reach behind the saw to make adjustments. And of course, the footprint is incredibly small in my garage. It easily fits on a 24" miter station. Angling the saw over to 60 degrees when not in use, and it doesn't protrude past the station at all. Nicely done, Makita! And Amazon, for the fulfilment and shipping! ... show more

    • Excellent saw.
Style: Miter Saw
Really good saw. The soft start is a really nice feature. The dust collection is really good for pieces 4” wide or less. Not as good with wider pieces, but still better than other sliding miter saws I’ve used. Easy to set up and cuts extremely well with an upgraded blade.

    • Love it!
Style: Miter Saw
Update 8/2022 So after having used the mitre saw for about 20 projects I’ve not had any issues with it. As for the angle indicator plate if you are gentle with it and actually hold the tab until it’s in the correct position and gently let the latch lock you’ll never have to worry about ruining the edge and causing off angled cuts. Aside from that one caveat the mitre saw is flawless. Also my model was a Chinese model, butthe quality of both the tool and packing were top notch and the laser is still working perfectly. I’ll follow up later after more usage. —— I’ve always used Makita products when I would help at a carpentry shop many years ago, but they were old and from the 80’s and 90’s so I was very nervous about purchasing this Makita mitre saw from an online source especially with all the reviews here about damage in shipping or quality issues. Thankfully, mine shipped from the next state over and was in great shape when it arrived minus the UPS driver placing it on its side for delivery. Unboxing was quite a chore, so perhaps the packaging has improved. My model had the chrome pistons and the billet aluminium supports on the sides. I don’t know if this was a pre China model though. It cuts perfectly, no issues so far with the power of the motor or adjusting the cut angles. The laser is very helpful to speed up with lining up the cuts and it cuts perfectly accurate cuts each time. The vacuum system seems to works very well and the dust bag works, but fills up quickly. I’ll have mine connected to a dust collection system though. I still need a table for it because it’s very heavy and I do have some trouble lifting over 150lbs unassisted, but once the material is level and lined it will give true cuts consistently. In terms of construction and function, it’s a great workhorse which I hope will last many years. Overall I’m really happy with the quality and have already used it several time for a few projects. I’ll update as I use it, but so far it’s perfect ... show more

    • Beautiful piece of machinery
Style: Miter Saw
Both this saw, and the quiet series air compressor I've bought from makita. I waited a couple months so I could put them through some hard use before reviewing. I love Makita, so I may be biased, but I try hard to be objective. This saw it probably the best compound sliding miter saw I've ever used. So far I've sided my house, built two bookshelves, a patio table, and countless odd cuts. It's very heavy, I can barely move it myself, though in my book this is a good thing. The different style of sliding rails really makes a big impact with how much space it takes up. Beyond that, it has stood the abuse very well, still making perfectly accurate cuts and starting smoothly. It's also surprisingly quiet. Right out of the box, it absolutely needs some calibration. It's not hard, can be done with a carpenters square and patience. I'm a huge fan of the dust control system, when I've got this hooked up to my little shop vac, there's barely any sawdust to clean up. This is the first brand new, big tool I've ever gotten, and I'm absolutely in love. ... show more

    • Awesome Miter Saw
Style: Miter Saw
After a couple of months of research I narrowed down my choices to the Bosch GCM12SD and Makita LS1219L. I ultimately chose the Makita and I am super happy with the decision. It was square out of the box and easy to set up. The dust collection is good with my Festool CT 26 and the motor’s soft start is a welcome change from most miter saws. I highly recommend this miter saw!!! ... show more
