Review on Circular saw Makita HS7601, 1200 W blue/silver by Mateusz Gsiewski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I expected more from buying, but not the worst option.

I observe makita's pettiness not on the first instrument. In this case, these are small, but very annoying flaws during operation, spoiling the impression of a good, in principle, tool. The manufacturer's penny savings on the cut depth scale results in the user's inconvenience during operation, in unnecessary gestures with a tape measure when adjusting this depth. If you do this once every six months - tolerable, when you use it often - it irritates and forces you to draw or scratch out a semblance of this scale yourself. I also often use a parallel stop, the screw with a "lamb" for fixing it does not have a spring and constantly twists from vibration when sawing without stop. To insert the stop, you have to unscrew it each time. When you do this twenty times a day, you want to break the saw on the empty head of the manufacturer. I had to look for a suitable spring and put it under the screw - the problem disappeared. Why is a person who has paid a considerable price for a tool forced to eliminate its shortcomings on his own and suffer because of the pettiness and pettiness of a manufacturer who saves on a penny spring? Sometimes, taking the saw in your hand, you manage to turn it on involuntarily - your fingers immediately fall on the lock and start buttons and the saw makes an unauthorized start. Small dust extraction window - dusty all around and sometimes gets clogged when ripping. The hex wrench for changing the disc is not securely attached to the handle and was safely squandered no one knows where and when. The complete disc lost almost all of its teeth soldering after about five cubes of wood, no nails! With all the shortcomings - the saw is compact, light and powerful. While the disc was new, I sawed along the raw magpie without much strain, practically without heating up. In general, if the manufacturer fixed all the shortcomings, it would be an excellent saw. But - if. Buying a saw now - would choose dewalt dwe560b. For the same money, I would take a saw without these problems and with two high-quality discs that are not afraid of nails.

Pros
  • Small, powerful, reliable. Quick access to brushes. Thick steel sole.
Cons
  • Bad disc included. There is no cut depth scale. "Lamb" fixing parallel stop without spring. Insecure hex wrench. An ill-conceived system of protection against accidental activation. Small sawdust ejection window.
