MS1250LZ1 specifications

The RIDGID MS1250LZ1 is a state-of-the-art miter saw designed to meet the demands of professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. With its robust construction and innovative features, this powerful tool is optimally engineered for precision cutting and versatility in various applications.

One of the standout features of the MS1250LZ1 is its 12-inch carbide-tipped blade, which provides outstanding cutting capacity. This generous blade size enables users to cut through larger materials with ease, making it ideal for framing, trimming, and even crosscuts. The saw’s powerful motor drives the blade at an impressive no-load speed, ensuring smooth and efficient cuts through hardwoods, softwoods, and composite materials.

The MS1250LZ1 incorporates advanced miter and bevel cutting capabilities. It offers an easy-to-adjust miter angle ranging from 0 to 52 degrees, allowing for accurate cuts in various directions. Additionally, the bevel capability can be adjusted up to 45 degrees to the left, providing more flexibility in creating complex cuts. This is particularly handy for crown molding, baseboards, and other intricate woodworking projects.

Safety is a significant consideration in the design of the RIDGID MS1250LZ1. It features a blade guard that provides optimal protection while allowing for a clear view of the cutting area. The electric brake ensures the blade stops quickly after use, reducing the risk of accidents. Furthermore, the saw is equipped with a horizontal handle that enhances control, reducing fatigue during prolonged use.

The tool comes with an integrated laser guide that illuminates the cutting line for enhanced accuracy. This technology fine-tunes the cutting process, ensuring precise results even in low-light conditions. The built-in dust collection system helps keep your workspace clean by capturing sawdust and debris, promoting a safer and more efficient working environment.

Constructed with durability in mind, the MS1250LZ1 features a solid, heavy-duty base for improved stability. This stability is key during critical cuts, reducing vibrations that could affect accuracy.

Overall, the RIDGID MS1250LZ1 is a reliable and efficient miter saw that combines power, precision, and user-friendly features. Whether you're tackling professional projects or home improvements, this miter saw stands out as an essential tool for achieving flawless, quality results.
