Makita LS1018L 260mm Electric Slide Compound Mitre Saw & WST06 Mitre Saw Stand

Combine powerful cutting performance, exceptional accuracy and convenient jobsite mobility with the Makita LS1018L 260mm Electric Sliding Compound Mitre Saw and DEBWST06 Mitre Saw Stand.

Designed for professional carpenters, joiners, kitchen fitters, builders and installation specialists, this versatile combination creates a practical cutting station for timber, skirting boards, architraves, flooring, framing and general woodworking applications.

The Makita LS1018L features a powerful 1430W motor delivering a no load speed of 4300rpm, providing smooth, efficient cutting through a wide range of timber materials. Its large 260mm blade with a 30mm bore combines with the dual sliding mechanism to deliver an impressive maximum cutting capacity of 91 x 310mm at 90 degrees. This generous capacity makes it particularly useful for cutting wider boards and substantial timber sections without compromising accuracy.

For precise angled cutting, the saw provides mitre adjustment up to 47 degrees left and 60 degrees right, alongside bevel adjustment of 45 degrees in either direction. At a 45 degree mitre setting, the saw delivers a cutting capacity of 91 x 220mm, making it particularly suitable for accurate corner joints, decorative mouldings and compound cuts.

The integrated laser marker provides a clear cutting reference, helping users accurately position the blade before cutting. A convenient front mounted bevel lock makes adjustments quicker and easier, while the dual sliding mechanism reduces the space required behind the machine, allowing it to be positioned closer to workshop walls.

Practical features include an ergonomic rubberised soft grip handle for comfortable control, a sturdy aluminium base and an effective dust collection system that can be connected to suitable extraction equipment. Weighing approximately 20.7kg, the saw combines substantial cutting capacity with a design suitable for regular transportation between jobs.

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 valuable stability when cutting longer timber sections.

The stand features a convenient removable mounting bracket system, making saw installation and removal straightforward. Its folding construction and integrated wheels allow easier transportation around the workshop or jobsite, while the extended supports help maintain accurate material positioning during cutting.

For example, when installing skirting boards throughout a property, the saw's laser guide and adjustable mitre settings help produce consistent corner joints. The extended stand supports longer timber lengths, reducing the need for additional supports, while the folding wheeled design makes moving between working areas considerably easier.
