A Review For The Makita Ls 1016 Sliding Miter Saw

By:


The Makita LS1016 miter saw is dubbed as the largest crown molding cutter in its class. However, even
though it is known as the best among its kind, it's not a big miter saw. Three words describe this Makita
miter saw: compact, versatile and powerful.

Strenghts of the Makita LS1016

Feature packed and a excellent value altogether, the Makita LS 1016 got its label as the leading crown molding cutter of its category from being able to cut a
crown molding slantwise up to 6-5/8" and up to 4-" vertically. Its patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding
System makes smooth cuts very easily. The Makita LS 1016' linear ball bearings and transparent blade guard provides allows it to provide top notch accuracy.

Comfort


The Makita LS1016 also is an extremely comfortable sliding miter saw to use. Its
ergonomic handle is designed for the utilization of either the right or left hands. It also has a very comfortable trigger, which is oversided, so it will allow
you to easily squeeze it whenever your hand is on th handle.

This miter saw has all the whistles and bells for different controls and
adjustments. The one
touch miter lock is one of these features which allows for a more accurate adjustment and cut. It has big
aluminum base supports that is precision machined. This saw also allows for one step easy blad changes, which is nice. It also boasts of easy
to read and easy to access scales and adjusters.
These different features prove that this miter saw is very efficient.

feature and an electronic speed control. Both these features allow the Makita LS 1016 to a smoother and higher quality cuts.

I can't really see a downside of the Makita LS 1016 miter saw.
It's quality and usefulness is definitely worth its price. Some say that
this miter saw is not that portable because it is heavy to carry around. However, compared to other miter saws of its kind, it is definitely smaller and more
compact.

I would highly recommend this saw to part time as well as full time woodworkers. It's a great saw.
