If you are looking to tackle DIY projects and home improvements this is more than enough, on the other hand if you a professional doing heavy duty industrial work or production for a living then look somewhere else on the $3,000 - 10,000 price range unit, that’ll be more productive and capable. Bottom line is this little machine is a beast, the motor is very powerful, the quality is top notch and the reviews speak for itself. The only drawback that I can mention (if is one) Is the metal chip collector, is not good at all. once you start cutting the metal chips are gonna be everywhere, but Again this is not a $3000 machine, so before you decide to buy it check reviews and do the homework and if the chip collector is something that is very important for you (either because you are planning to work in the kitchen while cooking or in the closet ) then move on and spend real money for something more fancy. Otherwise this is a perfect machine to make things happen and to get it done. The blade is expensive ? yes it is... but it will give you a very very clean and precise cuts regardless of the thickness. This machine worth every penny no questions ask... Review: awesome saw for metal fabrication work. - As a metal fabricator/ mechanic you count on good tools to make fast work of tasks at hand. After buying and recieving this saw just a few hours ago, and using it to cut a few items. Me and My son both looked at each other and said WOW! We should have gotten this saw years ago. I have been in the past cutting metal with a torch, plasma cutting, and cut-off wheels on grinders. Making perfect cuts depends on a guide bar for the torch or plasma, but then you need to grind slag off the edges. Cut-off wheels are good on thin or small items and you have to change them because they wear to a small diameter. This saw is almost like cutting wooden 2x4s on a miter saw just at a slow speed. For example a 2x2 box tubing that is 1/4" wall thickness takes about a minute to cut through. And the cut is clean, burr free and straight. There are always things to pick on and wish it was made differently. Like most other reveiwers the chain to secure the saw in a down position is old fashion but minor. I wish the vise was more beefy, but it works good for the job and it is easy to adjust for miter cuts. A few reveiwers mentioned that the stock that was being clamped while doing a miter 45 degree cut would move a little as the vise was tighten. Most saws do that and I have found that if you put some adhesive sand paper on the back support of the vise. It will hold the stock you are cutting from slipping while you are tightening the vise. I will be using this saw alot in the future building metal gates and frames. That's why I decided to buy a cold cut metal saw. I just wished I did it a long time ago. It would have made many jobs in the past years a lot easier and quicker. The desertcart price, fast shipping, and great service makes it a really pleasure shopping for good tools. ## Features - Carbide-tipped blade lasts 50x longer than abrasive wheels; cuts clean, accurate and virtually burr-free - Quick release vise for secure material retention and fast, repeated cut-offs - Lock-off button for user convenience - Quick release support fence adjusts 0-45° for miter cutting - Shaft lock for easy blade changes with just one wrench ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004YOLV | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #382,836 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #52 in Power Metal-Cutting & Chop Saws | | Blade Length | 12 Inches | | Blade Material | Metal | | Blade Shape | Rectangular | | Brand | Makita | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (436) | | Cutting Angle | 90 Degrees | | Date First Available | November 21, 2000 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381029506, 00088381029797 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | 12" (60T) Carbide-Tipped Metal Cutting Blade Metal (A-90532), Safety Goggles, Socket Wrench | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 42.5 pounds | | Item model number | 5099866 | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Material | Carbide | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Teeth | 60 | | Part Number | LC1230/2 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 12"L x 12"W x 12"H | | Size | One Size | | Special Feature | Brushless | | Special Features | Brushless | | Specification Met | Meets relevant power tool safety and performance standards | | Speed | 1300 RPM | | Surface Recommendation | Metal | | UPC | 088381029797 094703524291 525664386081 088381029506 061346128360 | | Voltage | 220 Volts | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | | Warranty Type | Limited Warranty | | Wattage | 1750 Watt-hours | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Metal - **Brand:** Makita - **Color:** Blue - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Surface Recommendation:** Metal ## Images ![LC1230 12" Metal Cutting Saw - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yho1Bs4gL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this saw have soft-start? Thanks!** A: I'm not sure, but for the less informed commenters. Soft start has the benefit of less torque when starting, thus less stress on the motor. So in theory it should last longer. **Q: Is Makita LC1230 made in Japan? or where is it manufactured?** A: made in china for the Japanese **Q: Does it come with blade** A: yes comes with a metal cutting blade **Q: Can this saw handle 3/4 cold rolled steel round bar?** A: I cut a 1" diameter cold rolled steel bar today in about 8 seconds. No problem and the blade is still perfect. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super high quality and precise cuts *by A***N on May 8, 2020* I’ll make this short, this is a great machine for the money, is heavy, precise and reliable.

For years I've been using an inexpensive cutoff saw that uses an abrasive disk rather than a carbide blade. It got the job done, but it was hard to get square cuts, plus there was a fair amount of work to clean up the edges. First things I noticed about this saw are how fast it cuts, how clean the cut edge is, and they are square. As expected, there are few sparks (a real plus here in the dry Northwest) and the dust factor, as compared to an abrasive disk, is non existent. I also like the fact that the base is cast and more substantial than the less expensive saws. It should provide a good stable platform. I also like the side lever for loosening the nut for the fence, much more user friendly as apposed to rounding up wrenches. It is heavier than my last (and now dead) saw so I'll probably put it on a rolling stand to make it easier to move and access. While the cost is considerably more than what I paid for my old saw, I feel that it's a very good value when you factor in the benefits I've already noted. Makita has a good reputation for reliability so I expect to get many years of use out of this saw. ## Frequently Bought Together - 12"" Metal Cutting Saw - Diablo Steel Demon Cermet II Saw Blade for Medium Metal - 10" Diameter, 60 TCG Teeth, 1" Arbor, .083" Kerf, 0° Hook Angle, .071" Plate, 1800 Max RPM - D1260CF - Freud 12 X 80 Ferrous CERMET CSB --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/4869546-lc1230-12-metal-cutting-saw](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/4869546-lc1230-12-metal-cutting-saw) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
