Pricy tool but definetly worth the money. The accuracy and smoothness out of this saw is not even comparable to a table saw. I use this for professional use as a carpenter.
Clair Feest (verified owner) –
Great tool! Works flawlessly. I highly recommend if you are working with large sheet material.
Vanessa Gleason (verified owner) –
Very great product, it cuts accurate, and great dust absorption. I thought about returning but I’m very happy that I decided to keep it after using it on a small project and it was very useful for cutting very large ply woods (4×8 feet). I also cut small panels at different degree with ease.

Review from an active DIYer:Quick Review:Great saw, I highly recommend it The dust collection worked well that was my main reason for getting a track saw. The splinter guard worked well, eliminates/greatly reduces tearouts. I did not experience any when I used it. The strips on the bottom of the rail creates enough friction to stabilize the track. I did not use any clamps and the track did not move while I made my cuts. The depth guide was easy to adjustCons: This loses a star for me for 2 reasons. 1)The depth guide is in “mm”(millimeters) instead of inches so that can be a bother if you want to quickly adjust it in the US. 2)The cases that hold the saw and the battery charger are flimsy. Feel like they can break rather easily. They do not compare to the packouts, Tstaks, and Ridgid boxes from other brands, but they get the job done.Also FYI regardless of what brand you buy ,the blades for a plunge saw are pretty expensive, around $45+. The arbor for plunge saws are 20mm or .787″ whereas regular 6 1/2 circular saws have an arbor of 5/8″ or .625” More In Depth:I was looking at a cordless tracksaw mainly due to the fact that they are the only cordless circular saws that I’ve seen, that have a dust port. Breathing in all that dust is healthy. So I figured I’d get a track saw to solve that problem. Even though I am heavily invested in DeWalt, I opted for the Makita because of the special promotion. Prior to this I did not have any Makita Tools, they were the last major brand that I did not have, 4 batteries and a free guide rail seemed too good to pass up. I have been researching a lot of Makita’s products and wanted to get on board due to their commitment to eliminating dust in the area. A lot of the tools they have a dust port and I do not see that option with other brands. The saw worked fine. The charger charged both of the batteries simultaneously and it took about 45minutes out of the box. The splinter guard did a good job of reducing tearout. There are nobs on the saw that will attach it to the rail so the saw will not come off the track if you do angled cuts. I attached my Ridgid shopvac to the dust port, the connection was loose but that is a simple fix, just buy the proper adapter but even with the loose fitting I collected most of the dust from the saw

Nice tool, ready to go out of the box. Powerfull, makes clean cuts, no chipping. 2mm pre-cut setting in very useful.

This is my new go-to circular saw for breaking down sheet goods. I have a Bora fence and saw guide plate that I have used for awhile but it doesn’t compare to this gem. The saw and charger come well packaged in a reusable and stackable container. After charging both batteries and function checking the saw I put it to work breaking down CDX panels to make shelves in the shop. I had a piece of 1/2 CDX I used to score the zero-clearance piece on the guide and was able to really get a feel for how the saw operates on what I consider to be an expendable panel. The depth of plunge is easy to adjust and the blade speed dial really allows you to dial in the best cutting speed for the type of wood. I used this saw and the track to make several shelves and now that I am getting comfortable with its operation I will start experimenting with left-over cabinet grade plywood to see how fine of a cut I can make. I really must say that I enjoy using this much more than my other setup. I don’t have a cord to trip myself on and I’m not constantly measuring and rechecking my offset.

Traded the corded version of this saw for the cordless. Couldn’t be happier. Has all the power of the corded without the hassle of the cord. I’ve had it for a couple of years. I’ve had it for a couple of years. It’s reliable.

This was an awesome saw!!! I brought it to my maintenance people and they were so excited and said it sped up their work and the optional guide was more helpful that without it for the work they were doing. The case made it easy to store and move to other locations for various projects. It did not have any issues running it off and on all day. My team loves it.

I had been eyeing track saws for a while and finally took the plunge with this model. Found this kit on discount with an additional free 2x batteries so it seemed like a no brainer. In testing I’ve found the saw to perferm just as well as corded versions. Cuts are smooth and the batteries seem to last a long time. I especially like the anti tip feature and while a riving knife would be nice I have yet to encounter any kickback. A note on the track.. I had seen some reviews where users complained about straightness of the track. My particular track seems to be straight and flat. All in all happy with this kit for the price I paid. I find myself using the table saw less and enjoying this saw more and more.

WOW!!! This 18-Volt 5.0Ah X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36-Volt) Brushless 6-1/2 in. Plunge Circular Saw Kit1 is amazing. There is, however, a real learning curve to master in order to enjoy all it’s many features. At first glance, it appears to be a fancy circular saw. Not so. A plunge saw has a different design which removes the need for a conventional retractable blade guard, as the blade is enclosed within the machine. This ensures multiple benefits versus the traditional circular saw including:-The blade can be plunged at any point into the material you are cutting.-An enclosed blade is safer and significantly improves dust extraction efficiency.. -The saw has a smooth and flat side that can be used as a guide against a wall or the floor.-Depth of cut can also be adjusted with a simple sliding mechanism at the front of the saw.The biggest and most important difference with the plunge saw however, is the ability to run it along a guide rail or track. This is especially useful in cutting large panels in confined areas. It takes 2 18 V batteries to run. When you take your finger off the trigger, the blade stops immediately. There are so many features we have not explored 1/3 of them. The case it comes in is remarkable in itself. Well thought out design adding to the easy portability of the product. Another great Makita tool system

I bought the corded makita track saw 2 years ago and loved it. After buying this one it is even better. No cord, same if not better power and uses all the same tracks.

I was really impressed with the smoothness of the cut with the 18 volt batteries… the tool $ slide guides worked well …

I purchased the saw that came with 39 in. guide rail and purchased additional 55 in guide rail. The saw is super smooth on 55 in. guide rail. But with 39 in. guide rail, the saw’s motor gets hot after 3 cuts (less than 15 in. each cut). I could feel the heat when my hand was holding handle. I really need to PUSH through the 39 in. track. I could feel quiet strong friction/resistance. I cleaned the track and the saw, it didn’t work. Then I switched back to 55 in. track, there was no heat after 10 cuts. VERY SMOOTH. I tried adjusting those knobs,I loose them all the way, the saw felt a bit better, but it swings left and right on the track. I don’t even want to try to connect two rails even if it works. I don’t want to adjust knobs in the middle of cuts between two tracks. Oh, I purchased the connector too. So what should I do, Makita?

Cuts through 1 3/4 inch wood like hot knife through butter. Track kept cut exactly where I wanted it. Great saw. Would prefer an imperial depth of cut scale!!
