8-1/2" SLIDING COMPOUND MITRE SAW W/LED

The Makita LS0816F Sliding Compound Mitre Saw combines compact size, high cutting capacity, and precise cut-line visibility for a wide range of carpentry and finishing applications. Its 8-1/2" blade can cut material up to 12" wide at 90° and up to 8-1/2" wide at 45°, making it well suited to baseboards, crown moulding, cabinetry, flooring, and general trim work.

An integrated LED cut-line guide projects the blade’s shadow onto the workpiece, helping the operator align cuts accurately before lowering the blade. The direct-drive motor delivers 5,000 RPM and uses fewer drive components, helping reduce maintenance requirements.

A slide-style sub-fence supports wider workpieces, while the soft-start feature provides smoother start-up and reduces sudden motor torque. The saw can connect directly to a compatible Makita vacuum for improved dust extraction, and an integrated carrying handle makes transportation between work areas easier.
