Product Description

For a 15-amp saw, this one's quieter and lighter than we expected, but just as powerful,
sailing smoothly without bogging or stalling. It's got nice balance and a good rubberized
grip on it, and the dual handles gave us great control. Changing depth is pretty
uncomplicated; just grasp the handle, loosen the lever on the depth guide and then you
can move the base up or down to set your cut and tighten the lever. The bevel adjustment
is a similarly simple lever, and as far as we're concerned, the easier, the better. You can
bevel up to 50 degrees, and of course there's a positive detent at 45 degrees. Most saws
like this have a shaft lock for blade changes; this one's no exception. We like the heavy-
gauge aluminum wraparound base, but we'd like to see the calibration a little more
readable—though it's not a big deal and easily modified. The Makita name means a long
tool life and quality components, so they've built this saw with ball and needle bearing
construction. Even the included 24-tooth carbide blade is quality. Just be sure to check
that the blade's square from the factory; if it isn't, a hex wrench and a try square will come
in handy. It's a hardworking little saw that would serve a contractor's needs quite well.--Kris
