If you're considering buying a new mitre saw, then do yourself a favor and get a full sized sliding compound like the LS1216L 12" Makita mitre saw. The larger saws are more pricey, and sliders cost even more, but in due time the cutting tasks that the slide and the larger size alone allow you to perform easily cover the added cost.
The Same Exacting Precision as Smaller Compounds
Compound Saw
The problem that most people have with larger compounds when they're looking at them though, is they assume that larger saws just won't do meticulous, precision cuts as well as a smaller one. This unit is different though because it features new integrated technology that enables it to do the same exacting razor cuts as much smaller compounds.
Makitas DXT or Deep and Exacting Technology
It's Makitas DXT or (Deep and Exacting Technology) that features a newly redesigned direct-drive gearbox and innovative retractable blade guard that makes the difference. This combined system also includes their precision 6 linear bearing mechanism, for far smoother action and more secure, accurate adjustments.
Excuse Me! That's Four Rails in this Makita Mitre Saw
If you're picturing in your head a standard two rail guidance system, like you're used to seeing on other compound mitre saws, you got it all wrong this time. This is because this gentle giant uses four steel rails that provide a far higher level of rigidity, lower deflection factor, and a more compact back end.
It Cuts a Whomping 15 Inches Wide and 8 Inches High
So you have your accuracy, smooth easy handling and feather touch angle angle adjustments that lock solid after they are set. So would you believe that this saw can cut a perfect 90º slide cross cut on a 15 inch board? It also has the height covered too because it will vertically cut an 8 inch board too.
Today's Taller Baseboards and Wider Crown Moulding
Now with trim designs calling for wider and wider baseboards, and crown moulding, cuts this wide and high are just not hard to imagine in today's homes. You are going to run across them, it's just a matter of time, and if you don't have the saw to pull it off what are you going to do? Can you see where I'm going with this?
One Way Leaning Mitre Saws Suck!
It doesn't end there because this saw leans both left and right. Now if you're thinking of going with a mitre saw that only leans one way, you need to stop that crazy thinking right now, before you get yourself in trouble. Left and right leaning saws mean no having to spin and flip your stock around to achieve matching splices. It also makes for faster work and far fewer screw ups.
It Leans 50º to the Left and 60º to the Right
This Makita Mitre saw also features a 5 ½ inch tall, easy adjusting, no stick, sliding four piece fence system. It precisely adjusts both vertically and latterly to accommodate a wider variety of cutting applications. Then on top of that, the saw adjusts all the way to 50º on the left lean and 60º when it leans right.
An Amazing Full Featured Power-Plant
It's also has a built in laser sight, but that's really no big deal anymore because just about every miter saw has them now. Even the cheapos. What this saw has that cheapos don't though, is a 15 amp, no maintenance, belt-less direct gearbox power plant that includes an electric constant speed control.
It's the Ultimate Saw for Any and All Cutting Work
So when you take a good look at all that this Makita mitre saw has in it, it's plain to see that with all its combined features that this the perfect cutting tool, no matter if you're slicing 8x8 posts, or delicate crown moulding. You can take it to any job, and know that it can handle virtually anything that's sent your way
