The Makita LW1401 is a corded 14-inch cut-off saw for cutting metal. It is made for light gauge metal stud and strut, pipe, all thread, conduit, tubing, rebar and similar material. A 15 AMP motor runs at 3,800 RPM.
The fence adjusts up to 45 degrees right or left for angle cuts and sets to 3 locations for different material sizes. A tool-less vise adjustment speeds up clamping. An adjustable spark guard diverts sparks, and a spindle lock makes wheel changes easier. The power button has a two-stage lock-off.
The saw weighs 37 pounds. A carrying handle is positioned for balanced weight distribution while transporting it. A locking pin secures the cutting head in the down position for transport and storage. The wrench stores on the base.
