Model: LS1040
Makita's LS1040 (10") sliding compound miter saw, with its light-weight portability and powerful motor, is brilliant for any home shop or garage. The tool weighs only 24.2 lbs, an extremely low (and terribly convenient) weight for such a powerful and functional tool. Because the saw is compact and lighter-weight it is extremely easy to move about your home or shop and can be easily transported from one job or project to another. This saw provides a welcome and sized-back alternative to the bigger, super heavy-duty miter saws of the industry, while still offering big power and compound cutting operations. Its 10" capacity is big enough to tackle most heavy applications, and its Makita motor is just as powerful as many of the industry's bigger saws. Ultimately, this little sucker has a bit more punch than you might expect, but rarely does one complain of having a surplus of power and charm (as this tool certainly does).
