I have nearly all the latest Makita LXT tools in my arsenal and I can quite honestly say that this metal cutting saw is by far my favourite of the lot, it breezes through 5mm x 50mm mild steel angle iron in seconds, it was the first time I used this saw and I was astonished at the ease it cut, I was through in approx 6 seconds. Absolutely amazing, treat yourself to one, you won’t regret it.
