Overview
The Makita LS1040 is built around a 10 inch blade capacity with a carbide and aluminum construction, running at a rated 4600 RPM and weighing 27 pounds with a 20 by 10 by 21 inch footprint.
The size and blade speed point to a compound miter saw meant for angled crosscuts on lumber and trim, mounted on a bench or stand given the weight. Blade type is not specified beyond carbide tipped, so check tooth count against the material you plan to cut.
- 10 inch blade capacity
- 4600 RPM rated speed
- Carbide and aluminum construction
- 27 lb weight, 20x10x21 in footprint
Who it's for
Fits someone doing trim, framing, or crosscut work who wants a 10 inch capacity saw at this weight class. Less suited to portable jobsite use given the 27 lb weight and bench footprint.
Pros and cons
- 10 inch blade capacity for larger stock
- Carbide tipped construction for cut quality
- 4600 RPM for clean, fast cuts
- 27 lb weight limits easy portability
- Blade tooth count not specified
Performance notes
A 4600 RPM blade speed paired with carbide construction is aimed at clean, repeatable cuts through wood and similar material rather than metal cutting. The 27 lb weight and 20 by 10 by 21 inch footprint favor a fixed bench or stand setup over carrying it between jobs.
