Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Makita changes the game with the LS1016L 10-Inch Dual Slide Miter Saw featuring a crown molding cutting capacity of 6-5/8 inches (vertically nested)—the largest in its class. It has a patented Four-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases rigidity to produce superior cuts, and the exclusive six linear ball bearings design for smooth, adjustment-free, "dead-on" accurate cuts.
Large Cutting Capacity, Increased Accuracy
The LS1016L has an innovative direct drive gearbox and patented retractable guard system engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity. At 6-5/8 inches, the LS1016L has the largest crown molding cutting capacity (vertically nested) in its class. The patented retractable rear guard also provides the LS1016L with 4-3/4-inch baseboard cutting capacity (vertical), and a 12-inch capacity at 90 degrees. In addition, the exclusive six linear ball bearings deliver smooth, solid and adjustment-free "dead-on" accurate cuts. The saw also has a patented Four-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases rigidity to produce superior cuts, as the four steel rails provide less deflection. The result is a larger cutting capacity and more accuracy.

Precise Miter and Bevel Cuts
The LS1016L has an exclusive 4-3/4-inch sliding fence system, with four sliding fences featuring upper and lower fence adjustments for more precise miter and bevel cuts to accommodate a variety of cutting applications. The saw miters 0 degrees to 52 degrees left and 0 to 60 degrees right, with positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, and 45 degrees (left and right). The dual rear-handle bevel lock is easily accessible with adjustments 0 to 45 degrees (left and right), with positive stops at 22.5, 33.9, and 45 degrees (left and right). Precision adjustments are made easier with dual front bevel scales for improved visibility. The easy one-touch (push in & turn) miter lock system is designed for accurate adjustments and increased efficiency. For more precise cuts, a built-in laser indicates the line of cut whether the blade is turning or not, and also includes an on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise "left-of-blade" or "right-of-blade" cutting.
Ergonomic and Compact Design
In addition to the large cutting capacity, power, and accuracy, the LS1016L offers a range of convenience and ease-of-use features. The LS1016L has less weight and the most compact design in its class, so it's portable and more easily transported. In addition, the patented Four-Steel Rail Sliding System requires two inches less rear space than competitor dual sliding miter saws. The see-through blade guard system provides greater visibility of blade and line of cut, and has a one-step blade change process for increased efficiency. The ergonomic rubberized horizontal D-handle design has a better fit and added comfort, and the large trigger switch is designed for easier operation.
15 AMP Power, Smoother, Higher-Quality Cutting
The LS1016L has a 15 AMP direct gear box motor that never slips, bogs down, or requires maintenance like belt-driven saws. The soft start feature delivers smoother start-ups, and the Electronic Speed Control maintains constant speed under load for smoother, higher-quality cutting.
Best in Class for a Range of Application
The LS1016L is engineered for finish work, remodeling, trim work, and furniture making. It is ideal for a broad range of trades, including finish carpenters, professional woodworkers, case and base installers, cabinet installers, cabinet manufacturers, closet installers, decking and flooring applications, siding installers, stair installers, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class 10-inch dual slide compound miter saw for the jobsite or on the benchtop.

can't cut square,

This review is from: Makita LS1016LX1 10-Inch Dual-Slide Compound Miter Saw with Laser and Bonus 18-Volt LXT FM/AM Job-Site Radio (Tools & Home Improvement)
First off, thanks for the free radio, love it.
As for the saw I am very unhappy. Out of the box the saw would not cut square across the entire cutting capacity. I removed the sub-fence in an effort to square the fence to the table and it got close but not exact. The sub-fence was adjusted all the way to rear right side of the saw and still the saw was off a degree over 10". Without anymore adjustment I don't see how the saw would ever cut square? Also there are some wing nut adjustments on the rear of the sub-fence, can't figure out what they do, but they never stay tight. The motor is great, plenty of power and the soft start is a good feature. The size and weight of the saw are also great. The double sliding set-up is strange at first but once you are cutting with the saw you get used to it. Also the locking handle takes some getting used to, but also works well after awhile. Overall the saw is a great design, but poorly made? I had a sub on-site with the same saw, he was also unhappy. Never been let down by Makita before, maybe they will work out the kinks for the next model year.

Very Pleased,
This review is from: Makita LS1016LX1 10-Inch Dual-Slide Compound Miter Saw with Laser and Bonus 18-Volt LXT FM/AM Job-Site Radio (Tools & Home Improvement)
I am a newer shop teacher in Alaska and I was able to get free shipping on this tool. What an Awesome VALUE!!! I got this same set cheaper than my brother in MT from a business going out of business. After getting it, everything worked fabulously. It is nice for students, not as scary and loud as older models. I love the laser. However, we don't do very much precision work and I've never checked how precise it is. Vistors to the shop also love it and are looking to get one similar next time they purchase a saw. Sweet Sweet Value for Alaskan's! As a side note, it is pretty tough there have been a few minor incidents of kickbacks and wood not properly clamped as is bound to happen and nothing is broken yet.
