An introduction to mitre saws: A mitre saw is a portable machine for making cross or, by rotating the tool's turntable, angle (known as mitre) cuts in wood. Mitre saws are used both in workshops & by onsite carpenters for window casings, architraving, door frames, picture frames etc. The wood is taken to the mitre saw rather than the machine being taken to the material as in a circular saw. The majority are mains powered but cordless versions do exist. Click here to see all our saws

To choose between mitre saws: The key criteria needed for choosing a mitre saw is the diameter of the blade to determine the width & depth of cut. Mitre saws with this 260mm diameter blade are broadly in the middle of the diameter blade range. Click here to see all our mitre saws

To make sure you've got the right mitre saw - 260mm blade: Choosing your power source: 240v tools are used with normal mains power whilst 110v tools are used on construction sites for safety reasons.

MAKITA LS1040N

4.9 / 5 (12)

william pollock 6 months ago

Bags specific to Dewalt vacuum - excellent in keeping dust and debris in the bag and not around the room

Very good item. Well made and word well

Mr Paul Richings 11 months ago

I have larger a Makita chop saw which has a sliding action to achieve longer cuts and has served me well. The LS1040 I purchased as a chop saw for my workshop when unpacked I thought it looked quite a bit more lightweight than my other one which is understandable as it’s half the price. But looks turned out to be deceiving in this case once installed it performs very well with a lovely smooth action and clean effortless cuts. Mitres were accurate and having checked the saw it was set up out the box which was a bonus.

I love the quality of this saw. Very basic and very simple but a solid all round performance cut after cut. Quite a kick on start up so it does benefit from being either bolted or clamped down which is also recommended in the manual. I also appreciate the relatively low weight making transporting the saw a breeze. All in all a terrific piece of kit for not very much money.

top quality.

Rob Willis one year ago

My first mitre saw, quality product, looking forward to many hours of use. Cuts so cleanly, really nice angle cut adjustment mechanism. Just the quality build alone sets it apart from other makes.

Mr M D Balmer 2 years ago
