Its 216mm blade with a 30mm bore delivers a maximum cutting height of 65mm, while the sliding mechanism increases cutting capacity for wider workpieces. Soft start technology ensures smoother start ups, reducing the initial mechanical load and providing greater control.

For accurate angled cutting, the saw offers mitre adjustment up to 47 degrees in either direction, with positive stops at 15, 22.5, 31.6 and 45 degrees. Bevel adjustment reaches 47 degrees to the left and 2 degrees to the right, making it suitable for compound cuts when installing decorative mouldings, skirting and framing.

Practical features include an adjustable depth stop for producing grooves, a sliding left side sub fence and extendable material supports for improved stability.

An integrated LED work light illuminates the cutting area, while the supplied dust bag and connection for external dust extraction help maintain a cleaner working environment. Weighing just 13.6kg, the saw also features a convenient carrying handle for easier transportation.

Complementing the saw, the Makita DEBWST06 Mitre Saw Stand provides a sturdy and adaptable working platform. Its lightweight aluminium construction supports loads up to 225kg, while adjustable material support arms extend to 2550mm, providing additional support when working with longer timber sections.

The stand features a removable tool free mounting bracket system for convenient saw attachment and removal, while adjustable feet help maintain stability on uneven surfaces.

Heavy duty wheels and a folding design make transportation between working areas straightforward, reducing the effort required when moving or storing the cutting station.

For example, when fitting skirting boards throughout a property, the saw can be positioned on the stand at a comfortable working height, with the extended supports holding longer lengths securely. Accurate mitre settings allow consistent corner joints, while the folding wheeled stand makes moving between rooms considerably easier.

Together, these Makita products create a dependable, portable and highly practical professional mitre saw setup for accurate cutting wherever the job takes you.
