Makita 10 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser features a unique 2-steel rail sliding system that allows for smooth single slide-glide operation. Powered by a robust 15-amp direct drive motor, it delivers speeds up to 3,200 RPM, ensuring fast and efficient cutting performance. Designed with a reduced footprint, this saw can make flush cuts against the wall, while its linear ball bearing system guarantees precise, dead-on cuts. It offers increased capacity with a direct-drive gearbox and guard system, capable of handling up to 6-5/8" crown molding vertically nested, 5-1/4" baseboard vertically, and 12" crosscuts at 90 degrees. For added accuracy, a built-in laser clearly indicates the line of cut even when the blade is stationary.
This model includes convenient features such as an in-front bevel lock for easy operation, dual dust collection ports for excellent dust extraction, and a lightweight, compact design that makes it the most portable in its class. Stability is enhanced with a large aluminum base, while the soft start feature ensures smoother startups and extends tool life. The miter saw offers a wide range of motion with miters from 0 to 60 degrees left and right, and bevels from 0 to 48 degrees left and right. Positive miter stops at common angles provide quick adjustments, and electronic speed control maintains consistent speed under load for superior cut quality.
Additional highlights include a 4-3/4” upper and lower tall fence system for added rigidity, a rubberized horizontal D-handle for ergonomic comfort, a replaceable stainless steel miter scale with large, easy-to-read markings, and a see-through blade guard system for better visibility. Blade changes are quick and easy, supported by a large trigger switch for comfortable operation and a one-touch slide lock for convenience. This high-power saw efficiently cuts wood and aluminum extrusion (aluminum blade and cutting lubricant sold separately) and features a 90-degree turn-of-the-knob miter angle lock/unlock mechanism.
Included with the saw are a vertical vise, dust bag, triangular rule, 10" x 5/8" 60T micro-polished miter saw blade, and hex wrench, making it ready for a variety of cutting tasks.
