Product Description

The LS1016 has an innovative direct-drive gearbox and patented retractable guard system engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity. At 6-5/8 inches, the LS1016 has the largest crown molding cutting capacity (vertically nested) in its class. The patented retractable rear guard also provides the LS1016 with 4-3/4-inch baseboard cutting capacity (vertical) and a 12-inch capacity at 90 degrees. In addition, the exclusive six linear ball bearings deliver smooth, solid, and adjustment-free accurate cuts. The saw also has a patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases rigidity to produce superior cuts, as the four steel rails provide less deflection. The result is a larger cutting capacity and more accuracy.

Large Cutting Capacity and Increased Accuracy
The LS1016 has an innovative direct-drive gearbox and patented retractable guard system engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity. At 6-5/8 inches, the LS1016 has the largest crown molding cutting capacity (vertically nested) in its class. The patented retractable rear guard also provides the LS1016 with 4-3/4-inch baseboard cutting capacity (vertical) and a 12-inch capacity at 90 degrees. In addition, the exclusive six linear ball bearings deliver smooth, solid, and adjustment-free accurate cuts. The saw also has a patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases rigidity to produce superior cuts, as the four steel rails provide less deflection. The result is a larger cutting capacity and more accuracy.
Precise Miter and Bevel Cuts
The LS1016 has an exclusive 4-3/4-inch sliding fence system, with four sliding fences featuring upper and lower fence adjustments for more precise miter and bevel cuts in a variety of cutting applications. The saw miters 0 to 52 degrees left and 0 to 60 degrees right, with positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, and 45 degrees (left and right). The dual rear-handle bevel lock is easily accessible with adjustments from 0 to 45 degrees (left and right), with positive stops at 22.5, 33.9, and 45 degrees (left and right).
Precise adjustments are made easy with dual front bevel scales for improved visibility. The easy one-touch (push in & turn) miter lock system is designed for accurate adjustments and increased efficiency.
Ergonomic and Compact Design
In addition to the large cutting capacity, power, and accuracy, the LS1016 offers a range of convenient and ease-of-use features. The LS1016 has less weight and the most compact design in its class, so it's portable and easily transported. In addition, the patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System requires 2-inches less rear space than competing dual sliding miter saws. The see-through blade guard system provides greater visibility of blade and line of cut and has a one-step blade change process for increased efficiency. The rubberized horizontal D-handle design has an ergonomic fit for added comfort, and the large trigger switch is designed for easy operation.
15 AMP Power for Smoother, Higher-Quality Cutting
The LS1016 has a 15 amp direct-drive gearbox motor that never slips, bogs down, or requires maintenance like belt-driven saws. The soft-start feature delivers smoother start-ups, and the electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load for smoother, higher-quality cutting.
Best in Class for a Range of Applications
The LS1016 is engineered for finish work, remodeling, trim work, and furniture making. It is ideal for a broad range of trades, including finish carpenters, professional woodworkers, case and base installers, cabinet installers, cabinet manufacturers, closet installers, decking and flooring applications, siding installers, stair installers, and general contractors seeking a superior 10-inch dual slide compound miter saw for the jobsite or on the benchtop. The LS1016 is just another example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and best-in-class engineering.

The LS1016 combines large cutting capacity with a range of precision and ease-of-use features. In addition, the LS1016 is compact and easier to maneuver, making it ideal for day-to-day use at the jobsite or on the benchtop. “The design of this new 10-inch slide miter saw is the result of careful development and field research with building contractors and professional woodworkers,” said Joe Soto, product manager – pneumatics and residential construction. “Professional tradesmen told us that cutting capacity, accuracy and portability were at the top of their list, and we listened. The new LS1016 is a 10-inch dual slide compound miter saw with the vertically nested crown cutting capacity of a 12-inch model. It has a compact design with a patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System and 6 linear ball bearings engineered to produce solid, smooth, dead-on accurate cuts. This is a best-in-class 10” dual slide compound miter saw for a range of trades.” The LS1016 has an innovative direct drive gearbox and guard system engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity. At 6-5/8”, the LS1016 has the largest crown molding cutting capacity (vertically nested) in its class.
