It is ideal for baseboard and crown molding installation, finish carpenters, cabinet and furniture makers, wood floor installers, deck builders, general construction, and more. The powerful 10.5 AMP direct drive motor requires less maintenance and delivers 5,000 RPM.

The 8-1/2” Slide Compound Miter Saw can perform miters including 0°- 47° left and 0°- 47° right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45° and 47° (left and right). It can also perform cuts up to 12” at 90° and 8-1/2” at 45°. The LS0816F features a linear ball bearing system that is engineered to deliver "dead-on" accurate cuts. It also features dual rear handle bevel lock that is easily accessible and adjusts 0°- 47° (left) and 0°- 2° (right) with positive stops at 0° and 45° (left).

It features a large precision machined aluminum base that supports the material for more efficient cutting, an electric brake for maximum productivity and features a see-through blade guard system for greater visibility of the line of cut.

Convenience features include a soft start feature for smooth start-ups, a built-in L.E.D. light that illuminates the line of cut for increased accuracy, an exclusive 2-1/2" tall fence system for increased vertical cutting capacity, as well as an ergonomic rubberized D-handle design for better fit and added comfort. It includes extension wings for supporting long work pieces.
