- Total Mitre Saw Maintenance
How you can take care of your mitre saw, gain years of good service from your equipment.
Basic cleaning, details
Changing the saw blade
Adjusting the fence for perfect square
I hope you can find plenty of good tips in this video. I had my Makita mitre saws for over 12 years and counting now. Each of them cut perfectly, it really isn't so difficult to maintain these classic pieces of woodworking equipment.
Even if you are not using Makita, the guidelines will help for any other mitre saw.
All the best
Safety first
Matt

I wanted to personally thank you for making this video and posting onto TH-cam
Thank you for taking the time to say that. I hope you found it helpful. Do you use Makita tools as well?
Good to see someone else with a well used saw !
You better believe it. I am putting it through its paces today, still cutting like a dream
Thanks, that’s just what my saw needed.
Hey Neil. Glad you found the video helpful. Matt
Now i know to replace the blade!!!Thanks for these video.
Its a super saw!!!
Hey Buddy, glad you like the content, found it helpful. Thanks for supporting my channel. Matt
Very nice instructional. Exactly what I was looking for so that a noobie like me can figure this stuff out. :)
Hey Tony
Glad you enjoyed the video. These saws are well worth looking after.. I had mine since 2006/2007, still good as gold.
Great video mate. Best tutorial ever! Love it.
Cheers Luke. Glad you liked it.
Thank you for this!!!
Hey buddy
Glad you like the video
Ls 1013/ls1214 are best sliding miter saws Makita has ever made. My ls 1016 is not good as previous model.
This saw is still going strong, cutting perfectly.
Hi Matt, I’ve just found your channel. Thank you for a very informative video. I have needed to change the blade on the same saw as yours for a long time but couldn’t work out how to do it. One thing you didn’t cover is how to a-line the blade vertically l know it’s not square but again can’t work out how to do it. I’ve tried to a-line it using a square against the deck and blade but the teeth on the blade get in the way. Your help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Graham
Hi Graham
Thank you for supporting my channel, glad the content is helpful.
I have never had a problem with the vertical alignment on my saw. I have been asked about it previously, and I intend to update this video in future.
I will keep you updated with the latest version
Best regards
Matt
@@Crooks103 Hi Matt.Thank you for taking the time to reply. I await your update. Graham.
@@MrGraysans Great stuff, hope you enjoy some of the other content. All the best

Hi Graham
Try this video if you are still struggling with the plumb cut on your saw.

Do you have a video on how to square up the 45 degree bevel and the 45 degree miter?
I never had that problem with this machine, but I will look into it soon.
@@Crooks103 I just bought this saw used for $100 and I don't think it has ever been recalibrated,, not sure it needs it but I would like to know for sure... if you know what I mean. Thank you for your response. Take care of yourself!
@@jamesadams7131 try cutting timber from both sides of the fence.
@@jamesadams7131 try this video

Hi Greg. Try this video. Cheers

The light is like saw 5 movie
Of course this is the ultimate Saw movie. Actually, I have got some new lights sorted. I hope the video was helpful for you.
Crooks
Thank you sir
Just kidding
No worries, I had noticed the light was not great, I had to ask the fella at the camera store what was going on. Thanks for pointing that out, it's good to know where to improve the video quality.
great

@@Crooks103 hey sir thank you
@@Crooks103 id like to ask you a question please
The fish eyed view made me head tilt a bit. Lol @w@ But good job and thanks for vid!
I have been mulling over a remake for this video, but so long as the knowledge is getting across I am happy.
Glad you found it useful
@@Crooks103 I’m use to power tools, but not blades this big. 👀’ So trying to learn as much as I can about them to be safe and move past the scared phase to healthy respect for the tool phase. Lol My gf picked up an older skilsaw and miter saw someone was giving away but still function well and just need cleaning up. Your vid helped, especially the simple yet great idea to have that board under it to make mounting easier.👍🏾
@@serenelychaotic glad the video was helpful. All the best fixing up your saws.
Hi I recently got an LS1013 which is missing the lock off button so I’m not able to run it yet. Waiting on replacement part. Also cannot figure out how to lift the arm saw blade is down. Will go through the manual. Any suggestions for cleaning or maintenance I can do while I’m waiting for the part?
Hi Gregory, sorry I only just got notification of your comment. The saw blade is held down by a pin in the arm.
I have covered it in the end of this video (I think)

Hi thanks no problem I was able to figure it out and make a temporary button with a screw. Very happy with the saw and Makita service in Canada.
Nice one. These are incredible saws, well worth taking care of.
My locking screws at the back isnt working correctly. When I flip the saw to 45 the pin falls in and locks
I will have a look at mine, get back to you with a solution. Matt
@@Crooks103 thanks matt👍
Do you lubricate the table as well? I have the battery operated Makita, and I noticed that when it is cold, the table is a little hard to move side to side.
You mean the underside of the table, where the angle settings are? Then yes. I use a WD40 grease, works a treat. Just to be clear, I don't put any product on the actual machine bed where there is contact with the timber.
@@Crooks103 yes that's what I meant, doesn't the grease trap saw dust and dirt?
@@CesarGarcia-ep8tt I clean the saw with the vacuum cleaner and compressed air, then I use the grease. I also have a dry lubricant for machine parts. You can use that instead if you prefer.
@@Crooks103 thank you I appreciate you taking the time to respond
@@CesarGarcia-ep8tt your welcome. All the best with your wood working projects
my slides have a little rust on them. What do you suggest. Thanks
Most of the rust cleans off easily enough. I had problems with some pitted rust really small areas. Some people recommend citric acid, or rust remover. I am not an expert on that.
I have cleaned up the slides as best as possible and used WD40 grease. They run really smoothly now.
@@Crooks103 Thanks very much from Australia
Hello, i'd like to ask you a question please
Go ahead buddy, ask your question
@@Crooks103
i found a saw like yours but the button of security on the top of the handle is not working its replaced by a random screw is that ok ? i'm afraid if i pull this random screw i will not able to fix this security button the price of this used saw is 100 Euros, thank you.
@@aliasglilou7914 I had the same problem, I also used a screw to keep the saw working. Fortunately I found the button in the back of my van.
I would try to buy a new button from Ebay. The Makita saws are well worth taking care of.
100 Euros? that's a great price
@@Crooks103
thank you sir
