About the Makita 8-1/2" Slide Compound Miter Saw with Electric Brake, LED Light, 10.5 Amp, 5,000 RPM - LS0815F

Precision cutting made easy!

The Makita LS0815F slide compound miter saw is a game-changer for precision cutting and professional-grade performance. Its robust 10.5 AMP direct-drive motor delivers an impressive 5,000 RPM, ensuring smooth, reliable power for even the most demanding projects, all while requiring less maintenance compared to belt-driven alternatives. Precision is at the forefront with this saw’s versatile mitering capabilities, allowing for adjustments from 0°- 50° left and 0°- 60° right. With positive stops at commonly used angles like 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 50° (on both sides), plus 60° (right), it ensures quick and accurate angle settings. For beveling, the dual rear handle bevel lock provides seamless adjustments from 0°-48° (left) and 0°- 5° (right), with positive stops for added convenience and precision.

Compact and lightweight at just 31.1 lbs., this miter saw combines portability with durability, making it the perfect companion for job site tasks. Despite its manageable weight, it boasts an impressive cutting capacity—handling materials up to 12" at 90° and 8-1/2" at 45°. The exclusive 2-1/2" tall fence system expands vertical cutting capacity, making it ideal for intricate crown molding or large baseboards. Enhanced accuracy is achieved through the linear ball bearing system, engineered for dead-on cuts. A built-in L.E.D. light ensures you can clearly see the cut line, even in low-light conditions, while the see-through blade guard adds visibility and safety during operation. For improved stability, a large, precision-machined aluminum base supports materials, ensuring efficient and clean cuts every time.

Operator comfort is a top priority. The ergonomic rubberized D-handle is designed for a secure and comfortable grip, and an oversized trigger switch ensures ease of use during prolonged cutting sessions. Additionally, the soft start feature promotes smooth start-ups, while the electric brake enhances safety and minimizes downtime. Moreover, this miter saw also prioritizes cleanliness and efficiency by connecting directly to the Makita Xtract Vac (VC4710), helping you maintain a cleaner workspace by managing dust and debris effectively. For longer materials, included extension wings provide robust support, ensuring effortless cutting of extended workpieces.

Perfect for a range of professionals and DIY enthusiasts, the Makita LS0815F slide compound miter saw is ideal for tasks like baseboard and crown molding installation, furniture building, deck construction, and more. It’s a reliable tool for finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, wood floor installers, and general contractors who demand precision and dependability on every project.
