About This Product

The Makita 12 Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser (model LS1219L) combines capacity, accuracy and efficient dust extraction in a more compact size, with a unique 2-Steel Rail Sliding System that offers a reduced footprint for operation flush against a wall. 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. 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.

Thank you for your question on the LS1219LX 15 Amp 12 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser and Stand. The saw plugs in to standard 120V household outlets. It requires at least a 12-amp circuit.

    I just purchased the 15 Amp 12 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser. Where is blade? None included. Don't see online blade to purchase this separately. For the price of $989, blade should be included.

        What are the actual dimensions of the LS1019L? Makita's own product page and product manual list different sizes. The product page says it's 32-11/16" x 22-1/16" x 21-11/16" but the manual says 31-3/4" x 25-3/8" x 26" (L x W X H). 3"+ differences matter!

              This 10” saw shows a max cutting depth of 12”. Please explain to me how that is possible? My guess that it is closer to 5.5” or so. I’m shopping for a new miter but I need accurate details to make a smart decision. Thanks.

                bro my dewalt 12in dw718 cuts over 5.5" tall. this new stuff claiming to be the best is crazy. buy old saws, they have plenty of parts.

                By|Mar 30, 2026


                  What is the part number for the previously used aluminum (not rod) extensions? Please don't state "These were always used". A simple google/YouTube search proves otherwise.

                  Thank you for your question on the LS1219L Duel-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser. The aluminum extensions wings only are available in separate pieces. The Sub-Base part number is 319815-7. The Rod's part number is 327315-3 and you need two of them. The small Sub Fence for the top of the Sub-Base is 347509-4 and the screws to hold the Sub-Base to the wing is 92443-5 and you need two.

                    Nice saw so far. You can tell it’s a quality piece of equipment. I prefer a shadow line over the laser. The laser is a bit off.

                    Received A USED unit
                    Received what I thought was a new saw, but it was heavily used. Still I tried to look past and align the saw, but it had been damaged. Its serial number is 00050445, please see pictures When I returned the saw, I did see the Home Depot service person notate that saw was used and damaged in their system for what it's worth. I can say it looks like a well build saw FWIW. The saw was shipped from GA.

                      The Makita LS1219L is a very high quality, accurate sliding compound miter saw. Twenty years ago I purchased the 10” version and paired it with a Ridgid mobile saw stand (miter saw in rear of one of the pics). That saw is still very accurate and works great. I have some large crown to install and wanted a 12” saw to cut the crown in the nested position, so I bought the LS1219L and paired it with the updated Ridgid Mobile saw stand. This has worked great. The 12” saw has been updated with increased miter/bevel capabilities and much improved dust collection. The saw has nice extension wings and a clamp you can mount to either side of the saw. There are two dust boots, one that is just below the saw blade that moves as the sliding mechanism moves and a very large stationary dust boot. They do a very good job of collecting the vast majority of the dust (you will always have some dust). I like that the bevel adjustment has been moved and you can adjust the bevel much more easily. The soft start on the motor is awesome and allows the saw to start up without jolting your hand holding the trigger. I have found over the years with my older saw that it is best to use the Makita saw blades. The Makita saw blades give a great silky smooth cut on plywoods, hardwoods etc without any chips or tear out. I tried other blades from other high quality brands, but they don’t give as good a cut or last as long as the Makita blades.

                      Built like a tank
                      Just got this saw after having used the 12" sliding Ryobi and the difference is night and day. The dust collection is fantastic and the blade cuts smooth as butter. The soft start and relatively quiet motor make it a pleasure to use. ALSO, please note that this model does not come with those dinky metal bar outfeed supports, it comes with REALLY NICE cast aluminum ones (see photo) that are flat and square, a massive difference from what is shown in these photos. This sucker has been going on sale down to 499 quite often lately so just be patient, it's a killer deal at that price.

                        The saw I received still has problem of rails being out alignment and blade not tracking straight. It's disappointing that problem has not been address after several years. Manual does not contain procedure, but I adjusted rails with info found on internet. However, adjustment is not incremental, it is hit or miss (loosen set screw, tweak rails, tighten, test, repeat). After adjusting, the condition improved, but I could not get dial it in to my satisfaction (tweak, bade tracks slightly to left, tweak again, tracks slight to right, tweak again...) Finally gave up and returned saw. It's a $600 saw and it's unacceptable to have to waste so much time to try to fix a problem that should not exist in first place. Big waste of time. Pic shows how initial plunge cuts with blade retracted and the extended don't line up.
