Sam, thank you so much for your insightful and informative video. I bought an LS1019L and read the manual over and over again without fully understanding how to set it up. It's only when I saw your video that everything came together. I successully used my saw for the first time yesterday. THANK YOU!! 🙂

Thank you for the video -- this was the best walk through that I've seen on the details of using this saw. I think some other walk throughs even had some complaints where a feature you highlighted addressed their issue (such as the bevel locking angles).

@@ChampionsOfTheTrade Just exploring so far. I'm looking at the 10 and 12 inch options from Makita and also the new DeWalt 12 inch 60v. I suspect I'll end up going with the 10 inch to save my back when I move it and also a chunk of change. :) Thank you again for the video! It was so informative, and you had such a natural flow walking through all the features.

@@ChampionsOfTheTrade I ended up going with the 10" version (purchased, to be delivered). I don't think I'll need to frequently cut anything longer than 12" (max capacity of the 10"). While I'm sure I could make use the 14" capacity on the 12", for my planned uses I think that will be relatively rare, so my rationale for the 10" is that the hassle of having to flip the board and very carefully complete the cut in such cases, possibly including a little sanding, is less overall hassle than dealing with the additional size and weight of the 12" on a perpetual basis, as I'll be moving it outside/inside for each day I am using it. (The lower price of the 10" is nice, too, of course.) Thank you again for the video!

Great video of the mitre saw. Best I have seen so far of that model. I am building a mitre saw station at the moment and hoping to get this model at some point to fit in it when I have the funds to do so. Hoping the dust collection is better than the Ryobi Mitre saw I currently have. I already have the Makita Vacuum and the wireless adapter so looking forward to connecting the 2 machines up wirelessly. I have a few 40volt tools with batteries which is why I wanted to go with this model. After a year of using it do you have any feedback you would give. Had been thinking of just getting the 260 mm size but as I would be upgrading from a 254 mm size and I won't be moving it I thought I might as well go with the bigger model. Not sure without comparing the 2 models side by side how much bigger this would look for when I am building the space for it to fit in my mitre saw station. I am hoping I have allowed enough room in my build.

@ChampionsOfTheTrade 3 ай бұрын

Good luck with the build and thank you for your kind comments. Regarding the saw, it is a great piece of kit, but if you don't need the cutting depth, go for the size below.. it's incredibly heavy. The AWS vac is on my list of things to get.. 👍🪚⚒️

Hi, MAKITA a good tool for you? I'm undecided between makita and ls1219 and kapex120.

@ChampionsOfTheTrade Жыл бұрын

It all depends on what you want it for. I love my Makita, but it's very heavy and unless you're cutting sleepers, the smaller size would be sufficient for most jobs. I'm unfamiliar with the Festool, but being 2x the price I would expect it to be perfect. My best suggestion to you, if you're spending that kind of money, find a wholesaler who has them on display and have a really good look at them both.

Still liking it? Is the fence square to the deck? I've seen conflicting data about that.

@ChampionsOfTheTrade Жыл бұрын

I love mine, apart from the weight, but I built a trolley for it. I've seen the fencing issue too, however mine is bang on. Unless the fence leans forward, I can't see it being a problem anyway as the fixed fence at the base does all work keeping the material lined up.

@sethhamilton5824 Жыл бұрын

@@ChampionsOfTheTrade true about the fence. The only scenario where it would be critical is nested crown I think.

It's the first AWS tool I've purchased that has come with one, maybe because it costs so much on this side of the pond.

Question I need dimensions Building a bench for my future saw. Width (wings in)= (width when saw is at 60 degrees)= Depth (At 90 degrees straight)= (At 60 degrees)= Height (Locked in the down position)=

@ChampionsOfTheTrade 5 ай бұрын

Hello. These measurements are not 100% but are very close, (measurements in cm) Width (wings in) = 69.0 Width (wings out) = 94.0 Depth 90 degrees = 91.5 Depth 60 degrees = 51.0 Height locked down = 50.0 Good luck with the build, please let me know how you get on. ⚙ 👷‍♂️

That is so perfect thank you. Could I bother you for one more measurement Width at 60 degrees with wings in= Did not now if the knob stuck out more then the wings when in. Thank you

No problem, it's 91cm. Essentially it's the depth of the saw but at an angle, rear to front knob.

The weight is a show stopper, nobody who uses a miter saw for a living is going to use this

@ChampionsOfTheTrade 5 ай бұрын

Yes, it is a little on the heavy side, but if you needed to cut sleepers, fence posts etc, it would save a lot of work, so useful for landscapers and fencers. But I get your point, it'll be overkill for general building.

@ChampionsOfTheTrade Yes, you piqued my interest in that model as it apparently weighs less than 40 lbs and has the shadow line. Since I mostly do cabinet work and rarely need to do large crown molding and no cords needed, you got me thinking, thanks
