Makita LS1018LN/2 240V 260mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw

Product Information

It does have a bigger footprint due to the standard slide rails than it’s cousin, the Makita LS1019L, but that saw’s features come with a higher price tag (and total weight). The Makita LS1018LN 240V 260mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw Laser will prove valuable to professionals such as carpenters and kitchen fitters. The powerful 240V motor has an input wattage of 1430W and a no load speed of 4300rpm to make short work of crosscuts and mitre cuts. This saw excels at cutting through wider materials and structures, such as boards and frames, thanks to its 260mm blade with a 30mm bore diameter. However, with this model, it’s been noted that you get much-improved dust collection performance just by hooking a shop vac to the dust port, in lieu of the bag. The Makita LS1018 as mentioned, is a sliding miter saw. This means it has extended crosscutting and miter cutting capabilities. This is one of the lightest 10″ sliding compound miter saws. It’s got enough features that there are lighter saws out there, but they still did really good with weight management on thismodel.

However it’s decently priced, and DIYers, hobbyists, and woodworkers can also get great benefits from this tool But at the decent price and low weight, the do-it-yourselfers can still reap great benefit without spending an arm and a leg. Even still it doesn’t perform as good as say the Bosch CM10GD, but it does well enough. Just keep your expectations low and you won’t be disappointed! (seriously though, most miter saws dust collection is a joke) Versatility – this saw handles most jobs – but not all But for the money, it’s a great saw thatmany people use regularly and highly recommend. I too would recommend this saw if the price is in your range.Today I’ll be writing the Makita LS1018 review – This is a high quality, highly rated sliding compound miter, built with the professional user in mind.

stavěcí šrouby úpinky jsou sice zašroubovány v hliníkovém dílu, ale po jeho obrobení, číňan nevyfoukal špony, šrouby namazal a namontoval. Vše drhnulo, musel jsem závitové spojení rozebrat, odmastit, vyčistit a opět namazat a složit tím, že jsou stupnice lepeny, nejdou ani seřídit (kvalitní stroje mají stupnici na plechu a přišroubovanou, stavitelnou)bohužel všechny stupnice a štítky jsou lepeny. Mnoho štítků již po vybalení jsou odchlípnuté, protože se číňan neobtěžoval podklad odmastit. Odchlípnuté (papírové) štítky již nejdou zpět přilepit, poněvadž jsou již prosáknuté olejem. Nevím, jak to budu řešit, pokud se odlepí stupnice ... Dosud jsem měl od Makity 3x Made in Japan, 1x Made in USA, 1x Made in England a 1x Made in Bulgaria nebo Romania. Se vším maximální spokojenost.

And to conclude my Makita LS1018 review I would add this: The saw literally has great features for just about any type of user. Double sliding rails with linear ball bearings on each rail ensures a perfectly smooth and accurate cut Miters 0° - 47° left and 0° - 60° right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° (left and right)

Is This Lightweight Sliding Miter Saw Worthy?

Celkově si myslím, že tato pila není sice z nejlevnějších, ale v poměru cena/výkon a hlavně přesnost dává smysl.

Thestandard (somewhat poor) dust collection is one of the negatives most people notice. However, this has not been a deal killer for anyone that I’ve seen. Je to bohužel moje první Makita, která mne svým zpracováním zklamala. Konstrukce výrobku je v zásadě fajn, ale vlastní zpracování mnoha detailů je nečekaně mizerné. Uvedu pár příkladů: Po rozbalení počítejte s tím, že je potřeba pilu seřídit, což není kvůli méně srozumitelnému návodu nejlehčí práce. Ale průměrně chytrý člověk na to přijde během 30 minut a samotné seřízení zabere taktéž 30 minut. Jinak je to se seřízením laseru, který je díky jeho upnutí na konstrukci pomocí jednoho šroubu poměrně oříšek seřídit, ale opět se na to dá po nějaké době přijít. And while it doesn’t quite have the vertical board cutting capacity of the Dewalt DW717, it still has a decent fence and can handle most crown molding and baseboard jobs.The DIYer can get a lot out of this saw as it would handle about any home-improvement job you could throw at it. Basically, the same benefits as applied to a contractor, only you may not put as many hours on it. As you can see, it’s a dual bevel saw. You can bevel left and right, both to 45°. While I would prefer a slightly extended bevel range, say to 47°, the 45° is industry standard and this will take care of 95% of most peoples beveling needs. To ensure the utmost accuracy, Makita have fitted the LS1018LN/1 with a laser guide rail and offer a max bevel range of 45 - 45 º to really get into those intricate cuts. Safety hasn't been neglected as Makita have equipped this saw with an electric brake and a soft start function to minimise the chance of the blade causing injury. Weighing in at 20.6kg this product is surprisingly lightweight and is sold as a single unit.

This particular saw can cut a 12″ wide board at 90°– so it’s great for shelving, wide dimensional lumber, plywood (see photo above), etc.
