Thread: Makita LS1212

I think the name is

Australian Saw Company the web site is
http://www.austsaw.com.au

I've only purchased one blade which was excellent but it was not for your Makita.
That's a tool I would enjoy.

I'm sure by the time my workshop is kitted out completely they would have found a substitue for wood.

cheers

I gather we are talking about a compound mitre or a drop saw.
there are a number of good brands of blade
CMT form carbatec or timbecon are nice
othewise chat to your local saw seevice.

A good tip.
if you want a realy nice cut but you can sacrifice some speed have a go at an aluminium cutting blade 100 or 120 tooth give real nice cuts will little tear out.

I use a normal 80 tooth mitre saw blade and a 120 too aluminium blade & I sometimes cut wood with the aly blade with nice results.

cheers.

Thanks for the suggestions Guys.

I will let you know what happens after I try whatever new blade I finally decide on.

I Purchased the same baby about 4 years ago when it came std with a Makita 100 tooth blade. Does terrific job on detailed mitres etc.
Also swap over with 8o tooth blade for less detailed jobs.
Only problem I have with unit is setting it up to achieve perfect square cuts.
(maybe I expect too much)

Following Spbookie's post, I purchased the LS1212.
Currently, United Tools have the unit on special at $1199.
$1199 less Bunnings' 10% brought mine down to $1079.
I know Bunnings' at Nunawading have done an In-store price match ( down to $1195),
but if it is not statewide, the $1079 is a good price
