Technical Details
10-inch dual bevel sliding compound miter saw kit with laser; 15 amp motor
Cuts 52 degrees right and 45 degrees left with 9 positive stops at 15, 22-1/2, 30, 45 degrees left or right and 0 degrees
Machined aluminum base; dual steel rails; carbide tip blade
Includes saw, vertical vise, blade, wrench, triangular rule, 2 extension wings
29-1/8 by 20-1/2 by 25-1/4 inches; 48-1/2 pounds; 1-year warranty

The saw carriage slides on two precision-ground steel rails that are fitted with ball bearing guides. The result is a vibration-free smooth-rolling saw that produces precise, consistent cuts, even at the outer limits of the slide mechanism. By the way, this 49-pound tool can crosscut a 2-by-12 and bevel-cut boards up to 3-5/8 inch thick. The LS1013 has a 3,700-rpm direct-drive motor that transfers cutting power to the blade much more efficiently than typical belt-driven saws.

The saw comes with a dust-collection bag, hold-down vise, two extension wings, 70-tooth carbide-tipped saw blade and blade wrench. This versatile saw can handle a wide range of carpentry jobs from house framing and deck building to cabinetmaking and interior trim work.

I really enjoy this saw! I have mounted it on its own box that includes rollers in the back so I can pick up the front end and move it around like a wheel barrel so I am not limited to where I can use it. If it’s a nice day out I will pull it out onto the driveway apron and enjoy the sunshine! (Sorry for all the junk in the picture!)

Nice review. I like the stand you built for your saw, I am in the process of building shop cabinets for my shop – I will add some version of this for my shop.

Thanks for the review. I plan on replacing my redial arm saw with a sliding compound miter saw. I do use a regular compound saw from Dewalt, but since it is not sliding the reach is not enough.
