The Makita LS1040N Mitre Saw 260mm is an upgrade on the older LS1030. It is a corded compound saw with a 260mm blade. The body is more rigid all over. It comes in 240V and 110V versions. Trade users and serious DIYers will like the accuracy.
The sub fence holds material more widely. That adds stability while you cut. The head bevels to the left only. The mitre cut at 90 degrees is 90.5 x 95mm. At 45 degrees it is 48 x 95mm. The blade has a 30mm bore. Skirting, architrave and frame timber all fit these sizes.
A 1650W motor spins the blade at 4600rpm with no load. The electric brake stops it fast. The saw is double insulated for electrical safety. A built-in dust collection system now collects chips and sawdust more efficiently. That means less cleaning up. The saw weighs 12.4kg.
Why buy it? The more rigid body gives more accurate cuts than the old model. The sub fence steadies the work. Choose it for repeat trim cuts on site or in the workshop.
