Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Makita B-61656: Enhance Efficiency with 7-1/4" 24T Carbide-Tipped Circular Saw Blade for Framing by Harry Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sorry, but mistake by Makita.

This larger saw blade works well with a table or miter saw. But not too much for a circular saw. I've had more kickback with this blade than any other blade in 40 years and it didn't last very long. It became dull very quickly. I used this disc on 8 sheets of 1/2" OSB and made about 15 ripping cuts. I had to replace them and put in a new blade. For now , I'll get back to Irwin Blades. Sad today that this is one of Makita's epic mistakes is.

Pros
  • .057" ultra-fine kerf reduces tool stress
Cons
  • weak
