The Makita LS1216L 12" dual slide miter saw delivers the largest
crosscutting and crown cutting capacity in its class. It has a
patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases
rigidity to produce superior cuts, and an exclusive 6 linear ball
bearing design for smooth, adjustment-free, "dead-on" accurate
cuts. The LS1216L is ideal for benchtop and jobsite use, as well
as high-production/manufacturing settings.
Large Cutting Capacity, Increased Accuracy
The LS1216L will crosscut wide boards up to 15" wide at 90°,
right out of the box with no special setup required. It has an
innovative direct drive gearbox and patented retractable guard
system engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity and the
largest crown molding cutting capacity (8" vertically nested) in
its class. The patented retractable rear guard also provides the
LS1216L with 6-1/2" baseboard cutting capacity (vertical). In
addition, the exclusive 6 linear ball bearings deliver smooth,
solid and adjustment-free "dead-on" accurate cuts. The saw also
has a patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases
rigidity to produce superior cuts, as the four steel rails
provide less deflection. The result is a larger cutting capacity
and more accuracy.Precise Miter and Bevel Cuts
The LS1216L has an exclusive 5-1/2" tall sliding fence system,
with four sliding fences featuring upper and lower fence
adjustments for more precise miter and bevel cuts to accommodate
a variety of cutting applications. The saw miters 0° to 52° left
and 0° to 60° right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°,
31.6°, and 45° (left and right). The dual rear-handle bevel lock
is easily accessible with adjustments 0° to 45° (left and right),
with positive stops at 0°, 22.5°, 33.9°, and 45° (left and
right). Precision adjustments are made easier with dual front
bevel scales for improved visibility. The easy one-touch (push in
and turn) miter lock system is designed for accurate adjustments
and increased efficiency. For more precise cuts, a built-in laser
indicates the line of cut, whether the blade is turning or not,
and also includes an on/off switch and microadjustments for
precise "left-of-blade" or "right-of-blade" cutting.
Ease-of-Use Features
In addition to the large cutting capacity, power, and accuracy,
the LS1216L offers a range of conveniences and ease-of-use
features. The LS1216L has a patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System
that requires less rear space than competitor dual sliding miter
saws. 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.
15 AMP Power for Smoother, Higher-Quality Cutting
The LS1216L has a 15 AMP direct gear box motor that never slips,
bogs down, or requires maintenance like belt-driven saws. The
soft start feature delivers smoother startups, and the Electronic
Speed Control maintains constant speed under load for smoother,
higher-quality cutting.
Best in Class for a Range of Applications
The LS1216L is engineered for precision tasks in woodworking
shops, as well as for cutting large materials like 4" x 16" beams
and wide boards up to 15". It is ideal for a broad range of
tradespeople, including finish carpenters, professional
woodworkers, case and base installers, cabinet installers,
cabinet manufacturers, closet installers, decking and flooring
professionals, siding installers, stair installers, and general
contractors seeking a best-in-class 12" dual slide compound miter
saw for the jobsite, benchtop, or high-production/manufacturing
setting.
