When to Use This Mitre Saw
The LS1040 is the go-to choice when you need a reliable, no-fuss 255mm compound saw for crosscutting and mitring timber, trim and decking on site. If you need to crosscut wider boards in a single pass, choose a slide compound model such as the 260mm LS1019/LS1110F or the 305mm dual-bevel LS1219 instead.
