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!!

Great saw! I am glad I returned my Dewalt to purchase this.

Absolute game changer. Makita rail is identical to Festool’s so go Makita for entry then upgrade to 10″ festool when funds allow. Upgraded from EZ track saw and can’t imagine building cabinets without it.

My first experience with plunge saw regret why I didn’t have it before. Was making a slab table effortlessly. Good with a dust collector system I’ve bought hose for this saw . I didn’t count how many cuts for a charge but it’s good enough for me.

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.

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.

Smoothest cuts imaginable, should’ve bought one years ago.

This saw has lots of power and a speed dial. Most track saw require purchase of the track, but Mikita came with the track and has an 8 footer available. After a dozen sheets of 9/16th siding it is still on the initial charge. The charger does a fast charge on the batteries. Great saw, great buy!

Great quality cuts and simple setup. Great track saw thus far.

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
