We needed max power and rpm’s to cut down old garage door panels for our garage door company. This is the circular saw to get.

Makita products are always high quality. The corded circular saw is another example of its high quality products. It cuts precisely and powerfully. The hard case helps to keep it clean and safe although it needs some space. Home depot shipment was fast and it was in good condition.I’m confident when I use products of Makita.

This saw is one of the best I’ve ever owned. I am a contractor so I get a lot of use out of these saws. Most of the time the cord wears out before the saw does.

Most carpenters know that when you buy a Makita saw one buys it for life. As long as one prevents dropping it, this saw will cut true for the life of the saw. Keep in mind the key to a good cut is a sharp blade and correct blade for the job. Very smooth and feel while cutting.

I bought the saw for building projects around the property. I found the saw easy to use and very robust. Some people say the saw is heavy. I am a 73 year old man who does not use the saw continuously for 10 hours a day but so far weight has not been an issue for me. I love it and word buy another.

Plenty of power to cut 2x treated lumber and at a reasonable price. Watch the cord and the tightening bolt on the blade. Some how the cord got twisted up into the blade housing when I put it down and cut the cord. Luckily it was easy to replace. If the blade binds it has a tendency to loosen the bolt causing the blade to potentially detach while in use.

I replaced my “old reliable” B&D with this saw and was instantly impressed by it’s precision and power. It is easily the best saw that I have ever purchased and used. I recommend this saw for anyone that has any level of skill from an aspiring DIY’er to professionals. It makes everyone look like a pro!

Great quality circular saw. Very light and has lots of power. The blade light (not laser) really helps to see the line, more than a laser which just makes it hard to see. This is one saw that I would suggest spending a bit extra on to get the higher quality. Blade quality is very good also. Will replace in kind when it gets dull.
