MS1250LZA specifications

The RIDGID MS1250LZA is a versatile and robust miter saw designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. This powerful tool is engineered to deliver precision cutting for a wide range of materials, including wood, plastic, and light metals, making it an ideal choice for carpenters, contractors, and hobbyists.

One of the standout features of the MS1250LZA is its impressive 15-amp motor, which provides ample power to handle tough cutting tasks with ease. The motor is capable of reaching up to 5000 RPM, ensuring clean and accurate cuts every time. Whether you are making crosscuts, miters, or bevel cuts, this saw can handle it all with precision and efficiency.

The MS1250LZA incorporates a dual bevel design, allowing for both left and right angles of bevel cuts.

Safety is paramount in any power tool, and the RIDGID MS1250LZA includes several safety features that protect both the user and the workpiece.
