Makita LS1019

Makita’s Slide Compound Mitre Best Saw in the Industry

The new Makita LS1019 slide compound mitre saw will establish an even higher level of technical attributes and reliable performance than the previous model LS1016, which was already recognised by wood machinists, carpenters, fixing carpenters, and structural timber installers as the benchmark by which all machines have been compared. The new 260mm saw is powered by a 1,510 W motors, which will run its blade up to 3,200 rpm. Other new features include the design of the sliding head layout, with the twin slide rails set at an angle in the rigid aluminium alloy chassis frame and the rear chassis fixing positioned right at the rear of the saw assembly. The saw head will not waste movement by moving back behind the sawing zone due to the robust rails that allow it to cover the entire zone. The mitre range and bevel range for the new Makita LS1019 are 60° L to 60° R mitre, and 48° L to 48° R bevel. Easy bevel adjustment is possible due to the front knob, the easy to operate mitre angle lock, and the one touch sliding head lock. The cutting performance also sets higher standards with the Makita being able to cut 91 mm deep across a 279 mm width compared with a 45° L or R mitre angle and 45° L bevel angle that has a maximum of 58mm x 197mm. The electronic controls of the new saw feature constant speed control, double insulation, electronic brake, laser marker system, and soft start for machine and operator safety. The LS1019 model is available in an 110v or a 240v version and additionally, a cordless 36v version, which is ideal for major on site operations.
