The Makita LW1400 is a corded 14-inch abrasive cut-off saw for cutting metal on the job site or in a shop. Its 15 amp motor spins a 14-inch wheel at 3,800 RPM and cuts up to 5 inches round and 4 x 7-5/8 inches rectangular stock. Tool-less wheel, fence and vise changes set it apart from older saws that need a wrench for every adjustment, and at 37.9 lbs it is light enough for one person to carry. It is a straightforward abrasive saw, so expect sparks and burrs rather than the clean, cool cuts of a dry-cut or band saw.

Owners of Makita cut-off saws generally praise the power and the tool-less adjustments, and describe the LW1400 as a solid, no-frills metal cutter. Complaints tend to focus on sparks, noise and the burr left by abrasive wheels rather than on the saw's build.
The Makita LW1400 is a 14" cut-off saw for cutting metal. It is built for light gauge metal stud and strut, pipe, all thread, conduit, tubing, rebar, and more. A 15 amp motor runs at 3,800 RPM. An extra-large spark guard captures debris and deflects it away from the surrounding area.
Several adjustments need no tools. The flange comes off without tools for quick blade and wheel changes, and a spindle lock helps with accessory changes. The fence adjusts up to 45 degrees right or left and sets to 3 locations for different material sizes. The vise also adjusts without tools.
The base is stamped steel for added rigidity. A locking pin holds the cutting head down for transport and storage. The saw has a large ergonomic handle and a two-stage lock-off power button. The carrying handle is positioned to balance the weight while you move the saw.
