This is a quality item, as always, from Makita. Light weight and easy to use. I should have bought one years ago, instead of spending hours ripping 8ft plywood etc. by hand or struggling with a heavy and awkward circular saw with power lead! As there is no battery or charger, it didn't cost much more than a cheap, inferior product. I have since added a Makita 24 tooth blade which makes for really neat cuts.

This is a great quality saw as you would expect from Makita. It’s well made with very high quality cast aluminum base plate and controls. Equipped with 3AH battery and the saw blade provided it easily cuts an inch thick dry oak and walnut boards. However I had two issues with the saw: First - it came well wrapped in plastic and not in a cardboard box despite of my communication with FFX who assured me it’s boxes item. It was not, most likely it was part of a bigger set which was sold out piece by piece. Second - I should have been more careful before purchase and should have noticed the saw is intended for left hand users. This was never mentioned in the description. When pushed with right hand, the sawdust covers all your arm and face as the dust nozzle points straight to your body. Bottom line - it’s an excellent and well performing saw however it requires a vac or some sort of workaround to fix the Sawdust nozzle issue. Read full review

Really pleased with the saw, easy to use. Great features including rail guide and depth measures on the guard so no measuring of blade needed, safety action on the trigger really impressed the model up has a light, brake and dust blower so if these are things you would need maybe the model ending 10 is the one for you 👍🏻
