There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Since receiving he has been working or project after project so it seems we are getting use out of it - but he will just randomly start a conversation about it and how nice it is (usually around feature x,y or z).
Currently him and my son are building a skateboard ramp - so I guess possibilities are endless with this.
Overall, from what I can tell, it’s built nice, blade is lasting, easy to move around and there is not dust all over the place.
I am glad we went with this product - I don’t n ke if any other one would have had such a positive response!
An additional note: I followed the directions to change the blade and ran into a problem. The bot holding the blade assembly together was a real challenge to remove. I tried the provided socket wrench and in addition a crescent wrench, Vice-Grip pliers, a ratcheting socket wrench, all to no avail. Finally I used a rubber mallet to force the provided socket wrench to loosen the bolt. A few wacks with the hammer did it. I share this with any other buyers who might run into the same problem. Still love the saw in any event.
Mine was not damaged but there is no indication on the box as to which side is up so - it does move around in the box and there is just cardboard triangles to keep it in place - they do NOT and the bottom of the box was messed up from all the movement arriving upside down.
Contrary to the description, I don't think that this model is equipped with soft start - the saw starts with a loud bang! The motor is also deafeningly loud, which came as a surprise, given that Makita's circular saws run pretty quiet. Good hearing protection is a must.
PS. Since the saw is fairly lightweight, it can jump around if not fastened down.
PPS. Unlike most other Makita products, this one uses a fairly standard dust collection port.
For the big stuff, I have a bigger saw. This takes care of the day-to-day needs.
Most of my fleet is outfitted with this model. I must have purchased over a dozen over the years (conservatively).
