Review on Circular saw Makita 5008MG, 1800 W blue/silver by Jnis Kalni ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Soft start set 2-pin to 20A. Works great. It should be connected to the break in the wire between the switch and the motor. There is an empty space in the handle, just right for a soft starter. If you connect a soft start to the saw, then it will not work: the light will not work. Soft start it starts smoothly when turned on, not the engine.

Pros
  • Good powerful not very expensive saw. Cast sole.
Cons
  • There is no riving knife. No soft start (can be installed). Heavy. Blade only for rough cut (replaced with 64T for clean cut). There is no protection against unintentional start-up, therefore it is suitable only for professionals.

Overall a good saw. It is convenient to dissolve the bars and boards into smaller ones if there is a table.
