For baseboard, you can place the wood vertically right up against this 4-3/4″ tall fence, and cut baseboard as tall as 5-1/4″.

Makita LS1019L Miter Saw Review – Value Increased capacity for up to 6-5/8" crown molding (vertically nested), 5-1/4" baseboard (vertical), and 12" crosscuts at 90° This saw is great for contractors because of it’s impressive cutting capacities, great power, and small footprint due to the unique rail system Makita uses. Integrated upper and lower tall fence system offers added rigidity for more precise mitre and bevel cutsIf you aren’t going to be working with wood that will require the support of the fence for bevel cuts, this is a great saw to own. Makita designed a quality and high performance saw that is extremely smooth and powerful. What makes it a perfect option for carpenters is the direct drive motor design with a soft start. Indeed, most of the miter saws in the market operate on belt drives that get stretched with time and need replacement. Its direct-drive motor is powerful enough to give a sound cutting experience. Certainly, you are able to cut tougher materials with much ease too. Another good thing about the design is its rail system that allows the positioning of saw flush to the wall without losing cross-cutting capacity. Usage: The Makita LS1019L is a highly innovative 10″ sliding compound miter saw that rivals 12″ saws when it comes to cutting capacity. Usually, if you’re doing 5″ and 6″ molding, a 12″ saw is what you would use. With this miter saw though, you can actually get similar cutting capacity without requiring the larger tool (and their more expensive 12″ blades). This is a preferred saw for contractors when compared to other leading brands at similar price points This style that Makita has pioneered places the rails beside the saw, instead of extending out behind it. That means you can use it in more confined spaces and smaller wood shops.

I also love this saw for woodworkers just because it’s got a fantastic dust collection system, and the small footprint is great for small woodshops, while still providing a large cutting capacity for wide boards. DIYers and hobbyists can get some great benefits from this saw, however, the higher price tag may disagree with you. Either way, if you’re willing to spend a little more on your miter saw, this is a solid choice.
