I'm sure every woodworker has his favorite way of working, and certainly the tools you buy make the difference in your profession. I've been an avid woodworker since a very young age. When I started to make a living as a trim carpenter in the late 90's I learned to use a 10" Millwaulkee miter box. They are accurate and fast to change the miter angle, and one could get lots of work done fast when trimming. When I got home at the end of the day I wanted a tool that would serve more quality purposes so I chose Makita's 10" Sliding Miter Saw in 1997 when they sold the LS1013. If you happen to be familiar with that saw then this one will be a much desired improvement over that design. The LS1019L has been a real workhorse for my business, I would certainly buy another one if something happened to the one I own. It cut perfectly out of the box and the compound angle setting knob is a huge improvement over the lever bolt on the old LS1013! The saw might be heavy at close to 60 lbs, even so the quality and accuracy of the cuts are quite good. I've owned mine since June of 2020 and it practically lives in my truck and I still find it cutting every bit as well when I first got it.Read full review

This is my 3rd saw it's a great well bilt product I would never buy a different brand. My opinion is makita builds the best. I still have my first one and it's been well used and still works like new. Thanks makita for the quality tools you build.

Has a great dust collector, is easily able to be squared also. The board clamp is easy to use, the slide works very smoothly with no give, and the laser can easily be adjusted to either side of the blade. Excellent product and very happy to use it every time.
