The innovative direct-drive gearbox and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity of baseboard (6-3/4”) and crown molding (8” nested). it will also make 15” crosscuts at 90 degrees. The saw miters 0° to 60° left and right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° and 60° (left or right). the bevel Lock is located in the front of the saw for easy access and Quick adjustments from 0° to 48° (left and right). the saw is powered by a 15 amp direct drive motor with soft start, a key point of difference. Direct drive enables smoother start-ups and consistent, Constant power with No belts to slip or replace. The Electric brake provides added convenience. In addition, the electronic speed control maintains Constant speed under load for smoother, higher-quality cutting. Additional features include a high-quality 60T carbide-tipped blade, and a see-through blade guard system for greater visibility of the blade and line-of-cut. The built-in laser indicates the line-of-cut whether the blade is turning or not, and offers micro-adjustments for precise “left-of-blade” or “right-of-blade” cutting. It has dual dust Collection ports for improved dust Collection capability for use with a bag (included) or vacuum (sold separately). it also has a large-sized aluminum base that improves the stability of cutting stock for more efficient cutting. ## Features - Unique 2-steel rail sliding system design offers single slide-glide operation; reduced saw footprint allows operation flush against a wall - Increased capacity for up to 8" Crown molding (vertically nested), 6-3/4" baseboard (vertical), and 15" crosscuts at 90 - In-front bevel lock for convenient operation - Dual dust collection ports provide excellent dust extraction performance - Innovative direct drive motor and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity (6-3/4") ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07B3WF2Y2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #113,969 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #24 in Power Miter Saws | | Blade Length | 12 Inches | | Blade Material | High Speed Steel | | Blade Shape | Rectangular | | Brand | Makita | | Brand Name | Makita | | Color | Black, Blue, Orange, Silver | | Current Rating | 15 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 401 Reviews | | Cutting Angle | 90 Degrees | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381854627 | | Handle Material | Rubber or Thermoplastic Elastomer | | Included Components | 12" x 1" 60T Micro-Polished Miter Saw Blade, Bag, Hex Wrench (781044-6), Triangular Rule (762001-3), Vertical Vise (126617-2) | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 34"L x 22"W x 21"H | | Item Type Name | Makita LS1219L 12" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser | | Item Weight | 81.59 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Part Number | LS1219L | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1-year limited warranty | | Model Number | LS1219L | | Number of Teeth | 60 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Brake | | Power Source | Corded | | Special Feature | Brake | | Speed | 3200 RPM | | Surface Recommendation | Wall | | UPC | 088381854627 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Warranty Type | limited warranty | | Wattage | 1800 watts | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** High Speed Steel - **Brand:** Makita - **Color:** Black, Blue, Orange, Silver - **Power Source:** Corded - **Surface Recommendation:** Wall ## Images ![Makita LS1219L 12" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6153WPf6yjL.jpg) ![Makita LS1219L 12" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ofyrBbkNL.jpg) ![Makita LS1219L 12" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zG8oEr-3L.jpg) ![Makita LS1219L 12" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jgORhy7AL.jpg) ![Makita LS1219L 12" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ib3S0q4CL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I’m considering the dewalt and bosch versions of this saw as well. has anyone had experience with the makita v either the dewalt or bosch? thanks** A: The DW779 (upgraded it to a DW780) only held a spot in my garage for 14 months before it got evicted. Do yourself a favor… ELIMINATE DW from your list of possible options for ALL tooling. The motor actually took a solid 3-4 seconds to rotate at 100%… and the motor was probably only 1/64 HP… too weak to put on a 12” miter saw. It would get bogged down cutting 2x4’s… and then take forever to cut oak… and burn it; that’s after upgrading the blade to a Spyder blade too. If you want to continuously replace your tools, keep buying dewalt. As far as the Bosch version; the US model doesn’t have a laser, where the EU version does. For me, that’s an automatic elimination factor… if Bosch would get over themselves and add the laser, it’d be stiff competition. Really, the only other option is Hitachi/metabo…. And I just haven’t researched them. At one point, I owned nearly all Hitachi cordless tooling; 12 years later, they’re still going strong… (6 1/2 circ saw, impacts, drills, grinder etc…) and actually my favorite slider miter was my Hitachi until this guy forced its way to the top. I wouldn’t rule-out Metabo, but research and hands-on experiences would be required. **Q: Has it led light** A: Yes **Q: can you turn the laser off?** A: Yes **Q: With the saw mounted as close to the wall behind it, what is the distance from the wall to the front face of the fence?** A: About 15 inches ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***R on February 15, 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***S on March 16, 2022* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***2 on May 28, 2024* ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita LS1219L 12" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser - Makita WST06 Compact Folding Miter Saw Stand - Makita B-67000 12" 100T Carbide-Tipped Max Efficiency Miter Saw Blade --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/70050955-makita-ls1219l-12-dual-bevel-sliding-compound-miter-saw-laser](https://www.desertcart.us/products/70050955-makita-ls1219l-12-dual-bevel-sliding-compound-miter-saw-laser) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
