Review on Circular saw Makita 5008MG, 1800 W blue/silver by Mateusz Mazurkiewicz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product for me, I was satisfied with the price.

In general, the tool is good. I don't plan to install it on the table. Buy a tire adapter for the cost of half a saw, too. It's easier to make your own tire. I don’t see the point in installing a soft start for myself, the jerk doesn’t bother me. Everything is subjective. For a price of less than 11 thousand, I think that the purchase justifies itself. Its pros: The saw is excellent. Lies comfortably in the hand. The choice was due to the size of the saw blade and power. And of course the price. At first, I looked in the direction of more expensive saws, but then I realized that for a homemade skill, this was enough for the eyes. I need it to build a shed, a firewood shed and other country nishtyakov. Positioning of the sole relative to the disk, clearly 90 degrees. Let's just say that I don't have a calibration square, but the accuracy that we have behind our eyes is enough for carpentry. Now about the main launch: I don’t plan to install it, since I don’t feel much jerk at the start. Maybe for someone it will be critical, it does not bother me. Magnesium alloy outsole and casing. The exact characteristics of the alloy are a trade secret. Thanks to this, the saw will not make the arm muscles numb on the second day. The disc in the kit cuts great. At least bars. OSB, not really. I did not like. Cons: The saw comes in a box. Yes, you can buy a case and an insert, but it will cost another 4.5 thousand. The emphasis that is included is not of the worst quality metal, but in order to dissolve a 50 * 100 board and turn it into 50 * 70, you need a 30 or 20 cm block, which can be screwed with two self-tapping screws to the stop bar inside. Then the bar will lag behind the material (beam, board) exactly by the thickness of the bar and you will get the desired width when dissolving. And all due to the fact that the stop stick is too short. But I see no reason to blame the manufacturer for that. The immersion scale is not entirely accurate. To set a cut with a depth of 3 cm, you have to catch the desired depth on a rough bar with a ruler. Sole. She is very gentle. Something protective needs to be glued on it immediately. I didn't think of it right away. As a result, a couple of scratches appeared. Fortunately for Makita, you can buy any spare parts, the sole is available separately. And yes, power. Subjectively, the real differs from the declared one in a smaller direction. I did not saw raw bars, but even on dry ones, watts are not enough for me.
