Makita Miter Saw

"The Makita LS-Legacy: Because They Actually Did Make Them Like They Used To."

Tired of modern plastic saws that flex if you look at them wrong? Meet the saw that your grandfather used to build his deck, and quite possibly the shed it’s currently sitting in. This isn’t just a power tool; it’s a piece of industrial history that’s still hungry for 2×4s.

It doesn’t have a laser guide because a true craftsman uses their eyes. It doesn’t have an LED light because the sparks from the motor provide all the ambiance you need. It’s heavy, it’s loud, and it’s more reliable than your favorite pair of boots. Buy it today and own a tool that will outlive the "smart" appliances in your kitchen by at least three decades.

This is a single-action miter saw designed for cross-cutting wood at various angles. Given its age and design, here are the likely specifications:

• Blade Diameter: Likely 10 inches (254 mm).

• Motor: Typically a 12 to 13 Amp brushed motor.

• Capacity: Can handle roughly 4×4 or 2×6 lumber at 90∘.

• Weight: Approximately 25–30 lbs (11–14 kg). It's surprisingly heavy for its size because they didn't use as much plastic back then.

• Features:

  • Manual blade guard (the yellowish plastic).

  • Rotating base with positive stops at common angles (0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°).

  • Cast iron/aluminum "fence" for supporting material.
