Thank you. The reason i welcomed you is that there is a username here that thinks they own the forums and they are not so plite when newbies join and big up themselves with their alter egos.

Having stated the above, several ok posters here and a couple of nice ones, inc me.

I apologise for not having the answer to your Q but hoping one pops in soon

Enjoy what's life of Sunday

providing the saw has 4 screw/bolt holes in a rectangle at the supporting point that are the same or less than the slots on the support brackets then it should and without adaption

Yes. The clip on saw mounting brackets with the DE7023 and DE7033 stands will work with the LS1018. It requires four bolts to fix it the the two (supplied) clip-on mounting brackets to the saw. You may need to buy longer coach bolts, that's all

I still have a (somewhat worn out) LS1018. It was a good saw in its' day, but it has been well and truly hammered and I can't be bothered to refurbish it (I did get some of the parts) as I am getting close to retirement and I have several other mitre saws which will more than see me out...

I have a dewalt but it’s single bevel looking for a double bevel everything else I have is makita so the Ls seems a good choice but I’m used to dewalt lol

Nothing really wrong with the saw as such - it had a new turntsbke 2 years ago, new fences last year, and a new flex and motor brushes (the bearings are original and still good), it's just been worked to death - for theclastv3 years it was the company bicycle! (everyone had a go on it) The main thing wrong with it now is that it was used outside a lot and the guide rails (rods) on all of these saws aren't designed for repeated soakings. I have the replacement parts, but I'm just too damned lazy to spend the time needed on an 8 year old saw which was written down years ago. So until I have the time...

In the meantime I still have a cordless DLS110 (which is basically a cordless LS1019) plus a Kapex and a smaller DW777 SCMS...
