The Japanese brand Makita has long and firmly staked out its place in the TOP manufacturers of construction power tools and does not seem to be planning to lose its position. The LS1040 miter saw is an example of high-quality professional, albeit not cheap, equipment.
Functional
The weight of the tool is acceptable to carry it to one person — 12.4 kg. Thanks to its rigid design and powerful 1650 W motor, the saw cuts wood, plastic, polycarbonate, aluminium profiles in longitudinal or cross section.
The possibility of tilting the working head to the left side allows you to cut vertically at an angle of up to 45º. Turning in the horizontal plane to the left / right, you can respectively change the angle of 45/52º.
The aluminium work table is equipped with a swivel ruler for easier marking and more accurate cutting. To work with long workpieces, extension cords are included. But there is no possibility to increase the width of the treated surface. There is no pull system. In view of this, the maximum cutting width is limited to 135 and 67 mm at 90 and 45º angles. Much better is the situation with the depth of cut, here it reaches 93 and 95 mm with a disc diameter of 260 mm.
Operator Protection
The electronic engine braking system provides effective saw stop, increasing operator safety, and the spindle lock makes changing the saw blade convenient. There is also protection against accidental start, blocking the power button.
Ergonomics
For a comfortable organization of the workflow, dust, chips and sawdust are removed into a dust bag or with a vacuum cleaner. And in low light conditions, an LED lamp with an adjustable neck will come in handy, but to have it in the kit, you need to buy an LS1040 with an F index.
Since the tool is designed for heavy loads, the manufacturer also took care of the convenient replacement of the motor brushes, its most rapidly wearing part. There is no need to carry the saw to the workshop, the brushes are simply removed from a special compartment and replaced with new ones.
For all the fun called Makita LS1040, you will have to pay a little, a lot, about €320, which looks expensive compared to less famous models, but with a pulling system. But if it is not necessary, the purchase of the LS1040 can be considered a capital investment that is guaranteed to bring its dividends.
