Makita Miter Saw LS1216LXQ (2014) with stand

Makita is a Japanese power tool manufacturer that was founded in 1915. It is a leading brand of professional-grade tools. This company produces cordless tools, power tools, petrol equipment, and batteries for the cordless tools. The tools themselves range from wrenches and drills to chainsaws and lawnmowers.

Miter saws like this one are made of a rotating saw blade in a protective case, which can be pulled down with a lever onto a piece of wood, which is held in place by the base of the machine. The base often has markings for measuring and clamping a piece of wood. When using this type of saw, you should always have at least three teeth engaged in the wood at all times to avoid damaging the saw blade.

This saw, which may also be known by model numbers LS1216 or LS1216L, has a 12'“ diameter blade and is designed to make accurate cuts. It has been discontinued, according to the Makita website, but can still be purchased from third party retailers like Amazon or eBay.
