With Built In Laser Guide. Features DXT, Deep and eXact Cutting Technology.
The LS1019L Slide Compound Mitre Saw has a powerful 1,510 watt motor, with soft start for smoother start-ups and electronic speed control to maintain constant speed under load, to deliver up to 3,200 rpm for high quality cutting. Electronic brake for minimal time interval between cutting operations.
Sliding on pipe structure for space saving, the motor head slides on fixed pipes without extending the machine’s rear end, so the machine can be placed close to the wall for maximum working space.
The LS1019L features a 120mm tall dual sliding fence system featuring upper and lower fence adjustments for more precise mitre and bevel cuts. One touch sliding lock for locking movement of the carriage can easily be achieved by removing / inserting the lock pin. Excellent sliding durability of the safety cover.
The large turn base supports the work piece securely. Holders are provided on both sides to hold long work pieces horizontally and to support a wide work piece. High precision cutting by the integration of guide fence and lower fences provides rigidity.
Front knob for easy bevel angle adjustment and easy to operate mitre angle lock. The mitre angle can be unlocked by turning the knob anti-clockwise whilst pushing down the lock lever. Once the releasing lever is pushed down, the turn base can be moved without pushing down the lock lever. The LS1019L mitres 0 to 60 degrees left and right, with positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, 45 and 60 degrees left and right. The Saw has a see through blade guard system for greater visibility of the blade and line of cut. On-tool hex wrench for fast and easy blade changes. Factory calibrated class II laser enables accurate alignment of the blade and cutting line.
Excellent dust collection by a new dust collecting port, can be connected to a dust extractor.
Features: DXT, Deep and eXact Cutting Technology. Deep cutting, 3 stage reduction gear unit and movable rear blade guard provide larger capacities of cutting Crown Moulding leaning against fence and Skirting Board which are typical work pieces of Slide Compound Saws and eXact cutting, precise and eXact cutting obtained by employing double sliding mechanism, double sliding fence and quick and accurate mitre angle lock, etc.

Sgt wie durch Butter und super genau.
Wenn der Absaugstutzen zur Seite gewinkelt wre und nicht Richtung Wand abgehen wrde, wre sie perfekt.
The reason it’s awesome for my workshop is the weight, if you want this to pull in and out of your van please get the next model down. I would never take this on-site unless it was set up once for a few weeks. Its an amazing machine, from basic cross cutting to rebates, so quiet.
Mein Mann hat das Teil vor einem halben Jahr gekauft. Steht seitdem uerst dekorativ auf dem Werktisch. Der gerumige Karton liegt sehr praktisch in der Ecke der Garage.
OK, so I already have a smaller Bosch 8 inch in my workshop, which is not that accurate. The Makita on the other hand is spot on, and cuts through everything I’ve thrown at it, effortlessly. The dust extraction is also fantastic, but if your planning to sit this close to a wall like I did, you’ll have to get a little creative, since the connections point towards the back when in use.
Eine gute Kappsge mit Hinterschnittfunktion sehr schwer mu man sage
It’s an accurate saw, well built. Cut is very clean on a variety of hardwoods out the box. Did not have to align in either plane.
What is the maximum cutting depth at 90.
Also is this a double bevel saw .
I’ve been in the construction industry a long time and had a few named saws. but always come back to makita they deliver every single time. this gets into tight job sites were others can’t. simply unreal only little honest niggle is the weight and carrying handle but apart from that 10/10
Accuracy can sometimes be a little bit of a pain to keep consistent. Left side of the saw is perfect 90 degree cuts, change over to the right side and it can be as much as a few degrees different over the full travel length of the slide. Now as the locking mechanism uses a single piece with notches for the pre-selected angles you cannot independently adjust for this error. To this extent I do often check my compound angles with a digital gauge as I do not trust the physical angle indication any more.
Dust extraction is another drawback. The fitting on the rear is not that great, there is sufficient gaps in which air is constantly leaking out. I have mine connected to a 100mm system with a fly pipe which is 70mm connected directly into the rear of the saw. I’m not managing to get a good vacuum on both the lower collector and the one located on the back of the blade so I’ts only collecting I’d say less than half what it could be.
Quality of the cuts, cannot fault it. The slide has wipers so any sawdust that sticks to the surface of the rails is wiped before it can enter the moving section. I periodically apply a light coating of oil and silicone spray to the internal moving chains. The great part of the design is that you are able to place the saw right against the wall with no worry of the slide hitting against the wall. Much prefer this over the typical sliding fixed head design.
Mitre mechanism, this can be a little annoying. Unlike other brands it is a free falling mechanism as to such you do not have control. You are able to very quickly change the angle and lock it but I’d like to of seen a rack and gear option where you can twist the control knob on the front to reduce/increase the angle with precision considering the price of such machine. I’ve cut through the fences on my machine as like most people, you are in a rush and don’t always think what is being the work piece, rather annoyed when I realised I’d done such.
Motor power, so far I’ve not had any issues with it cutting through solid Oak beams, Sapelle and rough sawn wet lumber.
Table extensions, these again I feel are not bad nor amazing. They work but feel like they could be substantially better instead of bent pieces of round stock, previously used other brands which incorporated a flat of the same bed which was fitted to the extensions with a lift up stop so you could make repeatable cuts easily without having to jig up a fixture.
Work clamping, uses a very simple over the fence and twist down motion with I must say a lovely quick back turn to disengage the threads allowing you to efficiently lower the clamp without having to twist it for ever. The down side is two places where you can locate it and if you locate it on the right side you have limited placement due to the motor impedes full motion of the slide. The clamp works, you do see flex in it and could be more substantial considering it often plays a very important part.
Electronic motor braking, fast and efficient although randomly at times under the same use will free spool to a lower speed and then apply the electrical braking.
The laser, very rarely use it as It’s not that great in sunlight and isn’t accurate enough for me so I revert to good old scribe lines.
Moving the saw and weight, yes it’s not a light saw at all. It can be moved with a single person but getting through single doorways with this saw and your self can be a little tricky trying not to mark the casing. The handles are located on the top of the saw and on the lower section under the rails which is ergonomically not easy to handle as your hands are not directly in a straight line to your wrists, you are carrying it with a slight bend in your wrists which when lumbering with the weight through passages is not very good on the body. If and when I’m moving it I try not to do it on my own. The top handle works fine but again isn’t great when lugging it place to place.
Motion locking and height stop, each axis has a lock. Simple twist with an indent , can’t fault them at all as they do the job intended. The height stop on the other hand, waste of time personally. It’s an easy and useful item only to find you do not manage to get a full adjustment, I’ve had to replace it with a long bolt over twice the thread distance on the original so I can lower my saw when trying to get cuts close to the bed of the saw otherwise I’d not be able to as the original thread distances on the screw are not ample enough.
The drop down gate on the top slide, so this can be useful at times. Simple and does the job with no daft requirements for tools. Simply lowers with your hand and raise with your hand. It does give you that extra cut depth by locking off some of the rail slide so you can use the back of the saw blade without the worry that the centre of the saw is going to bump into the work and mar it, I.e when working on skirting/architrave or tall panels.
Maintenance wise, the rear cover of the saw comes of easily and allows you easy access to the moving mechanisms. As above mention about the rails, the saw blade I’m yet to change so that gives you an idea to the blade wear.
Ease of use, the handle to lower the blade is located in a good place, there is no irregular motion of twisting the wrist and the trigger being directly behind activated by depression of the finger. Comfort there isn’t any excess vibration and the grip is smooth and adheres very well to skin contact. The saw can be loud as any saw but with the electrical brake it often doesn’t go on for an extended period but if you are using such, wear ear defenders.
Would I buy this saw again? Yes with what Is currently on the market against price/quality. I would like to see some changes though to the quality and the accuracy adjusting side of things. I hope this has given people the clear view as to use over time and what to expect if you too are using it for a similar intended use.
