8-1/2 inch Slide Compound Miter Saw
The Makita 8-1/2 inch Slide Compound Miter Saw (model LS0815F) combines a compact and lightweight design with a powerful direct-drive motor. Portable and powerful, the LS0815F is an ideal cutting solution for applications ranging from woodworking and carpentry to room-to-room applications like finish, trim, and flooring installation.
LESS WEIGHT
The LS0815F is powered by a direct drive 10.5 AMP motor with soft start. This is a key point of difference, as users will experience smoother start-ups and constant power with no belts to slip or replace. The electric brake provides added convenience.
The linear ball bearing system is engineered to delivery smooth, “dead-on” accurate cuts. At 90° the LS0815F has 12” crosscutting capacity, with 8-1/2” capacity at 45° (miter). The saw miters 0° to 50° left and 0 to 60° right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°, and 50° (left and right), and an additional stop at 60° (right). The dual rear handle bevel lock is easily accessible and adjusts 0°- 48° (left) and 0°- 5° (right) with positive stops at 0° and 45° (left).
Lightweight for portability
The LS0815F weighs only 31.1 lbs. for increased portability. Additional features include a see-through blade guard system for greater visibility of the blade and line-of-cut. The ergonomic rubberized horizontal D-handle design has a better fit and added comfort, and the large trigger switch is designed for easier operation. The LS0815F also includes an L.E.D. light that illuminates the line-of-cut.
Great for general construction
The LS0815F is part of Makita’s expanding line-up of best-in-class miter saws that deliver capacity, accuracy, and portability for a range of cutting applications. It is ideal for baseboard and crown molding installation, finish carpentry, cabinet and furniture making, wood floor installation, deck building, general construction, and more.

- 12 inch cross cut capacity

- Precise
And its affordable
While the saw lacks a double bevel or positive stops on the bevel Makita provides a chart for cutting crown molding using the single bevel. The purchase of a Wixel Angle Gauge is a good compliment to any saw where the blade will be titled (regardless of positive stops).
The only issue I really had with the saw is that the bevel gauge is directly under the sliders making it hard to read angle settings accurately. This is where a 3rd party digital angle gauge comes in handy and is going to be more precise than any popular tool makers "positive" stops.
For the contractor doing trim or finish carpentry, this is the saw to get. At 30 pounds its easy to relocate from a truck to the job site and can be moved around from room to room with ease.
Hobbyists and home owners will appreciate the large accurate cross cut for decks, shelving, molding, etc.
Save your back and your wallet and get this versus a 10 inch sliding miter.
Price was good too!
I searched extensively for a compact miter saw that would fit my needs and also be a long term investment. I had two requirements: corded and “compact”. In reality it’s not a tiny saw when you consider it’s a compound saw with sliding rails, but that is outweighed by the mere fact you can use this saw for so many applications - trim, moldings, casings, flooring, common lumber etc.
Upon arrival, it was very well packed and shipped in it’s original packaging. Taking it out and looking at it it has some features that just seem “cheap”. Little things such as the clamp, extensions, screws and the fact it didn’t have a clip on the corded head. It seemed like short cuts were taken. Regardless, i was excited for a new tool. Before anything, I took silicone spray and sprayed and wiped all surfaces and lubricated all moving points (did this from some reviews stating it was rusting).
I have used it on many small jobs now where I don’t need to set up a shop with my festool kapex. (I’m a boutique contractor you could say - I do all the job others don’t want to be bothered with). It has done really well for the applications I’ve needed it for.
There is some play in the rail but once you know this you just have to do a fluent cut without left or right pull/push force.
The table is a bit small, so even with the table extensions it’s useless. I made separate blocks to hight of the table to resolve this issue. If you have a miter stand, this of course isn’t necessary.
The dust port is adequate, not the best, even with a vacuum attached there is a fair amount of larger saw dust escaping.
The light is useless
The safety lock is poorly designed with the plastic cap always coming off when you pull on it.
Overall, the motor, trigger, compact size, company rep, and saws versatility makes this a great investment. I gave it only three honest stars because I think it’s a tad overpriced and lacks some “quality” parts.
I uploaded a video of it in action cutting a pine brick molding.
