Makita LS1040N 260mm Electric Compound Mitre Saw & WST06 Mitre Saw Stand

Create a powerful, accurate and portable timber cutting station with the Makita LS1040N 260mm Electric Compound Mitre Saw and DEBWST06 Mitre Saw Stand.

Combining impressive cutting performance with a lightweight, mobile supporting platform, this professional setup is ideal for carpenters, joiners, builders, kitchen fitters and installation specialists working on site or in the workshop.

The Makita LS1040N features a powerful 1650W motor delivering a no load speed of 4600rpm, providing fast, efficient cutting through a wide range of timber materials. Its large 260mm blade with a 30mm bore delivers a maximum cutting depth of 95mm and a crosscut capacity of up to 130mm, making it particularly useful for cutting substantial timber sections, skirting boards, architraves, framing and general construction materials.

Designed for accurate compound cutting, the saw provides mitre adjustment up to 45 degrees in either direction and bevel adjustment up to 45 degrees to the left.

This flexibility makes it easy to produce precise angled cuts for corners, joints and decorative mouldings. A precision machined aluminium base provides a stable foundation, while the pivoting rear fence offers dependable material support across different bevel settings.

The LS1040N features a material clamp with four mounting positions, helping keep workpieces securely positioned during cutting. Its rigid construction supports stable, consistent performance, while the integrated dust collection system helps reduce airborne sawdust and maintain a tidier working environment. An electric brake provides additional convenience by quickly stopping the blade after operation.

Despite its impressive cutting capacity, the LS1040N features a compact, lightweight design that makes it particularly suitable for professionals regularly moving between jobs.

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

The removable tool free mounting brackets simplify saw installation and removal, while the sliding mounting arrangement allows the saw position to be adjusted along the stand. Integrated wheels and a folding design make transportation and storage straightforward, helping create a convenient mobile cutting station.

For example, when installing skirting boards and architraves throughout a property, the saw can be positioned at a comfortable working height with the stand supporting longer timber lengths. Accurate mitre adjustments help produce consistent corner joints, while the wheeled stand makes moving between working areas considerably easier.
