The Makita LC1230 12 in. Metal Cutting Saw is fantastic for cutting light pipe, angle iron, tubing, conduit and channels. Its D-shape handle means easy gripping, and its economical and long lasting carbide tipped blades cut through material fast. The guide plate on this saw adjusts 0 - 45 degrees for bevel cutting and sports a quick release vise for secure stock retention and fast repetitious cut-offs. The socket wrench is stored on the base for easy access, and a shaft lock system shaves a lot of time off wheel changes.
