Where it sits among 260mm mitre saws

Scaled against the 13 mitre saws with a 260mm blade we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

The verdictOur take

The LS1018LN is a 260mm dual-bevel slider that can sit close to a wall: 310 x 91mm at 90 degrees, with laser, soft start and brake. The pick of this batch for bigger sections.
