Review on Circular saw Makita 5008MG, 1800 W blue/silver by Wiktor Wasilewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

I haven’t participated in serious work yet, I just managed to test it on the balcony . Blowing off sawdust works so that the vacuum cleaner gets little, chips are everywhere)) it cuts wood and chipboard without smelling an opponent). I tried to make a double wash down on a chipboard, it didn’t work out, when adjusting the disk to the depth of the wash down, the disk (or platform) shifts, this may lead the mounting bracket itself to the side, I think it can be fixed .) I don’t use parallel emphasis (even on old saw), it is more accurate and more convenient to cut along the guide. There is no soft start but it does not bother at all. An excellent saw in general, as they say, you take a thing in your hands .))) Another question has arisen why the corner has been removed on the sole, maybe someone knows?

Pros
  • Works great, the sound is loud of course, but smooth. No vibration during operation. It is perfectly balanced in weight, slightly outweighs the disc, but this is if you hold it with one hand. In fact, it is designed to be held when sawing with two hands . When the disc protection is thrown back, metal does not clang against metal - there is a rubber bumper. Blowing sawdust, lighting).
Cons
  • The sole is a little crooked . (maybe my copy is like that). Blowing sawdust. The ruler of the cutting depth is glued crookedly . lying)
