Makita LS1018 10” Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw

Compact Design, Less Weight

The Makita 10” Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw (model LS1018) delivers large cutting capacity and accuracy right out of the box. With the LS1018, you'll get all the cutting performance you need in a slide compound saw, but with less weight (only 43.7 lbs.) for increased portability.

It's ideal for fine woodworking, carpentry, general construction, and more.

The LS1018 is powered by a 13 AMP direct drive motor with soft start, a key point of difference. This means smoother start-ups and consistent, constant power with no belts to slip or replace. The electric brake provides added convenience. The LS1018 will tackle the most demanding jobs while keeping production high.

16 customers mention9 positive7 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of movement of the saw. Some mention that it has a very smooth slide, while others say that it's not smooth at all when trying to cut wood. The jerky motion of the slide bars makes it hard to control the motion.

"...They're pretty similar saws actually, this seems quieter, lighter and the miter scale is definitely easier to read...." Read more

"...angles, the saw almost tipped off the workbench because of its uneven weight ratios...." Read more

"So, it is real light. By the time you remove the fences and materials support arms, this thing weighs less than 40 lbs...." Read more

6 customers mention0 positive6 negative

UPDATE 3/19 - China, not Japan manufacture

UPDATE 3/19 - China, not Japan manufacture
UPDATED: 3/19. After using another LS1018 recently I have determined that the main problem (rough slides & alignment) was probably shipping related - it’s a very good CMSS.. However, I stand by my assessment that it is not as good as earlier (Japanese built) models. So, I’m changing my one-star to a three-star to account for price/value. Theses used to be ‘the best’ but, this model is average.I was looking forward to this saw arriving, I have always appreciated Makita‘s attention to detail and quality. Unfortunately, this is no better than any other low-to-mid level “big box store” brand miter saw.The first thing that I noticed when opening the box is the safety decals peeling off, followed by some damage to the saw a path guard and some rust on a couple of the bolts. Not a great beginning, and it only got worse! As I got further into set up, definitely not true and square out of the box, bearings on the ‘slide’ feel atrocious, they pulsate because there are flat spots (I’m guessing) in the rollers. Very disappointed, contacting Makita, I will update review when/if I get a resolution or it’s going back.Update note; blue plastic guard is damaged because saw slide-rails are not square to centerline. Most likely, it was test run at the factory - it damaged that piece, this should never have left the factory.
