Review on Circular saw Makita 5008MG, 1800 W blue/silver by Micha Chmielewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

130 mm from one edge of the sole and 40 mm from the other. You put a ruler - and . everything is exactly like in a pharmacy! You may not check. The lack of blocking from accidental launch is fully compensated by the protection around the start button in the manner of a "trigger guard" on a weapon. In any case, I have never turned on the saw unintentionally. Illumination of the cut zone - in my opinion, a "publicity stunt" - firstly, it is so weak that it is visible only in complete darkness (it is unlikely that anyone will turn on the circular in the dark!) and secondly (this is for me personally) it is more convenient guide the saw along a pre-set stop (at least more accurately) - and if you don’t need accuracy, then . why pick up a circular saw? A significant drawback is the need to look for an adapter for connecting a vacuum cleaner (not only household, but not every professional vacuum cleaner will fit!)

Pros
  • Cutting accuracy (including due to the rigidity of the cast base plate made of magnesium alloy), the ability to work with the left hand
Cons
  • Non-standard nozzle for a vacuum cleaner; not very effective intake of sawdust in a vacuum cleaner; the power is still not enough: when installing a slightly thicker disc with a larger number of teeth, the saw already “gives up” a little. However, a finishing cut is more likely to machine tools .
