Just what I needed!

o really only wanted the bandsaw, but the deal was so good i went for it. what a surprise the metal circular saw was. it has become one of my favorite tools for cutting unistrut. great combo, worth every penny

Bought this saw after a neighbor loaned me his. I’m putting up steel siding, and this has been invaluable. Wear hearing protection! Flexibility in usability is a big plus.

Excellent products and great deal. Just wish the stores carried the replacement blades for both saws

Great combo and good value. Was a little nervous about the bandsaw after reading reviews but it appears they have made some adjustments to it, its wotks great and the battery lasts forever on it. The metal saw is a great surprise, wasnt sure what to expect but it is awesome, cuts through deep strut in 2 seconds flat and leaves clean edges.

Saw and blade worked flawlessly. I haven’t had a chance to use it for any lzength of time I don’t know how the blade will hold up, but so far it was worth the money for the Makita.

Well above expected
Reynold Hickle (verified owner) –
Quite the little kick-butt saw.Took it out of the box, connected a 4ah battery to it and she chomped away through commercial store galvanized steel skin cooler box refrigeration panels with steel cam locks. She didn’t miss a beat. Great investment!Makes a little noise so wear hearing protection please!Makita IS thee best!

Even though it does say (tool only) in the title, to be clear this is only the saw. There is no battery or charger that comes with this. This is not a fault of the product or manufacturer, just an additional warning. As for the saw itself, this saw is excellent! It cuts through most metals with ease, depending on the size and density. It does leave some burs like any saw, but they are easily sanded down. The saw also comes packaged with a 5 7/8″ blade to get you started. It has very good weight distribution and is easy to hold and re-position. If you are a fan of Makita and have a good size collection already, this is a tool you cannot go wrong with

The Makita circular metal saw works great for anything up to 10 gauge sheet metal, including expanded metal. However, anything heavier tends to burn the blade and doesn’t cut well unless you make passes. All cuts do leave burs that are easily smoothed off with a paddle wheel on a 4 1/2″ grinder. The blade being on the opposite side of a regular circular saw makes it a little more difficult to check your cut, especially if you are very used to using your regular circular saw. But overall, a great tool with a massive range of uses to add to your Makita set. This way you can keep a wood blade on your regular saw and a metal blade on this one. This saw does have a slower speed that the regular circular saw as well, and is a little smaller.
