Step up in class to the Makita LS1214L 12-Inch Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw with Laser
Guide, and enjoy the rewards: unparalleled power, superior cutting capacity, and a host
of user-friendly features. Driven by a high-performance 15-amp, 3,200-rpm direct-drive
(not belt drive) motor, this heavy-duty slide-compound saw is engineered to meet the
unyielding demands of professional contractors. This reliable workhorse is versatile
enough to handle everything from rough-cutting landscaping timbers and framing
lumber, to fine furniture making and precise trim work.
Unlike some compound saws that only tilt in one direction, the LS1214L is a dual-bevel
saw; it tilts 45 degrees to the left and to the right, which lets you execute bevel cuts
without having to reposition the board to accommodate the blade angle. For making
miter cuts, the machine’s large aluminum turntable rotates 45 degrees to the left and 52
degrees to the right. There are 10 positive stops that lock the blade at commonly used
miter angles. There’s also a unique pivoting fence supports large, tall workpieces.
To help ensure safe, accurate cuts, the saw is equipped with a built-in laser that clearly
indicates cut line. The laser can be activated without turning on the saw. (Note that the
laser is tough to see in bright sunlight.) The saw carriage glides on two rock-solid steel
rails, which are equipped with ball bearings. The motor has a soft-start feature that
produces smooth, quiet start-ups that won’t jar the board out of position. Slow starts also
reduce wear and tear on the motor. The 53-pound saw comes with a dust-collection bag,
hold-down vise, two extension wings, 12-inch-diameter, 70-tooth carbide-tipped saw
blade and blade wrench. -- Joseph Truini
