Product Information

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Equipped with a soft start-up function and an electronic motor brake that immediately delays the saw blade strongly when the switch is released and stops completely within a few seconds. The wood is taken to the mitre saw rather than the machine being taken to the material as in a circular saw. The rear handle bevel lock is easily accessible and adjusts 0°-45° (left and right) with positive stops at 0°, 45° (left and right).The Makita LS1018LN 240V 260mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw Laser will prove valuable to professionals such as carpenters and kitchen fitters. An independently operated laser powered by battery (2xAA) indicates the cutting line, regardless of whether the saw blade is running or not.

A Bevel Range of up to 45 Deg left and right and a Mitre Range of 60 Deg right and 47 Deg left give this Mitre Saw real versatility. It is equipped with an oversized trigger switch for added comfort in use, large cutting capacity, linear ball bearing system to deliver dead on accurate cuts and electric brake for increased operator safety. Down side; you might have to create your own fence, the one given isn’t too perfect, this is a personal preference though. LS1018LN/2 cuts up to 310mm at 90 degrees and 220mm at 45 degrees, has an accessible rear handle bevel lock, adjusts 0 to 45 degrees left and right with positive stops at 0 and 45 degrees left and right and has extension wings for supporting long work pieces. There is a lot to consider in terms of the features available, including the maximum mitre range, which determines the range of angles you can cut with the tool, the maximum bevel range, which indicates how much the saw can tilt either to the left and / or the right, which reduces the need to turn your workpiece while cutting.In addition, you should consider the speed at which the blade rotates and the weight of the tool, as these will impact on the control you have over the saw when using it. To make sure you've got the right mitre saw - 260mm blade: Choosing your power source: 240v tools are used with normal mains power whilst 110v tools are used on construction sites for safety reasons.
