Biggest pluses are:
1) Brushless motor - runs cooler, longer battery life, and translates in to more power.
2) LED illumination - just enough additional light to ensure the cut is on point.
3) 5,000 RPM with automatic torque converter - This extra speed makes a surprising amount of difference compared to the 3,000-4,000 RPM models. The blades cut far smoother and there is far less tear out from your material. It makes a battery powered saw cut and feel like a high power corded saw. The automatic torque adjuster kicks in should your material be extra tough...it drops the RPM's down but kicks up the torque to prevent bogging down / binding. Very nice touch!
4) 45 degree lock on the bevel - there is a nice flip down tab that allows quick adjustment to a rock solid 45 degree bevel cut... As opposed to eyeballing where the 45-degree mark actually is. Nice time saver that ensures consistency.
5) Brake - the automatically engaging blade brake that kicks in after the trigger is released is a wonderful plus. Once you have that feature, you'll never go back.
As for negatives, for the price & class of the saw, there really are next to none. However, here are the couple that stick out:
1) for a saw that costs in the 175-200 range, it is a bit ridiculous they don't include the $13 Makita 164095-8 Rip Fence with it. It's not a critical accessory by any means, but it's sometimes nice to have and worth the ten bucks or so.
2) I wish this model had the blower that puffed air by the front area of the blade to improve visibility (like the finish saw model). Not a big issue, but would be nice.
In summary, this is a first rate saw in its class. Other than this item, the next real step-up is the Festool track saw (which I own & love like no other)... however, this saw & vacuum combo runs in the $1,500 range and is like comparing apples to oranges.
are the ones I reach for most often. My new toy, Makita XSH03Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 6-1/2" Circular Saw arrived yesterday late afternoon. I added a fully charged 4.0 Ah Makita BL1840B and got busy. This saw fits my grip perfectly, operates smoothly and had no issues going through either framing or sheet good materials. I did not have the base plate issues that some others have mentioned, at least in the testing that I did last evening. Today I am building a small 5 x 8 porch landing deck and will edit this review promptly if I notice any anomalies.
It is SO NICE. Light in weight, no annoying cord and more powerful than my corded Skilsaw. I cut 2x4 and 3/4" PT plywood like a hot knife through butter. I bought the Makita 40T blade and it is great for general use, cuts very smooth in a variety of wood materials.
I'm building more structures on my farm since buying this saw. Not having to mess with a cord and having this much power in my hand is addictive.
I bought the more expensive of the two models available and I have zero complaints. The guide on the saw is precise so I can just "wing it" on a variety of small cutting jobs and it's perfect. I wondered if the smaller diameter cutting capacity would limit me but it has not been a problem, I've cut everything I wanted.
The only way I could be happier is if I could go back in time and buy this saw sooner. Another 18 volt cordless Makita winner!
Happy sawing to all!
There is something real ergonomic I like about this saw and it's the safety trigger. On some saws you have to push the trigger in sideways with your thumb, but on this unit, you put your thumb on top and push down. This is very convenient and allows for extended use without fatigue. The power is there along with longer run time. A great saw.
