I'm very pleased with the saw. Little touches are great. Eg: it is exactly 10cm from the edge of the plate to the blade. So much easier to place a guide than my previous saw which was not a round number. The blade has fewer teeth than I would have liked but it seems to cut really well and the kerf is flat bottomed which makes cutting tenons (with a jig) much easier. The box is great though the plastic insert is flimsy (mine had cracked in transit). I filled the underside of the insert with expanding foam to create a more robust housing.

I use Makita power tools nearly every day and bought this saw to replace one that was stolen recently. They are tough well made well priced tools but for me the new type of hard plastic boxes they come in are not as good as the old heavy duty type hence only 4 stars. This may just be a personal preference as other people I know love them.

Always liked Makita products. So well made. This item comes in a stackable box. Very useful. Cuts through oak 40mm worktops with ease. Only gets amateur use so should last a long time. Even with pro use would be good.

Saw light enough to use one handed and cuts osb 18mm boards easily. Early days but looks good.
