MAKITA HAS A NEW 12″ DUAL SLIDE COMPOUND MITER SAW

The Makita LS1216L is engineered with Deep and eXact cutting Technology (DXT), with the largest crosscutting and crown molding cutting capacity in its class, and increased accuracy and adjustment features for precise miter and bevel cuts.  The LS1216L features 6 linear ball bearings and 4 steel rails for adjustment-free “dead-on” accurate cuts, right out of the box. 

 

“The new LS1216L is engineered with best-in-class capacity, accuracy, versatility and durability for a range of trades,” said Joe Soto, product manager – pneumatics and residential construction. “This is an ideal saw for precision tasks in woodworking shops, as well as for cutting large materials like 4×16 beams and wide boards up to 15”. Best of all, it will remain accurate even after a full day of work, day after day, in a high production setting.”

In addition to the large cutting capacity, power, and accuracy, the LS1216L offers a range of convenience and ease-of-use features. The patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System requires less rear space. The see-through blade guard system provides greater visibility of blade and line-of-cut, and has a one-step blade change process for increased efficiency. The ergonomic rubberized horizontal D-handle design has a better fit and added comfort, and the large trigger switch is designed for easier operation.

Makita seems really excited about the release of this new tool. We hope to get our hands on it soon to crank out a detailed review!
