One of the most surprising aspects of the Makita circular saw, has to be just how many different types they produce. Now for the sake of simplicity this article is only going to touch on "some" of the non cordless models in their inventory. Saws that run on AC electrical current out of a wall plug.
I'm not being lazy either because would you believe that they list a total of 16 different types of saws in the AC category? So now you're probably thinking that this is "production line overkill". After all, how many different types of saws are really needed?
7 1 4 Saw
What About Cutting Masonry?
What about a masonry saw? Makita has a durable 5 inch model that packs a powerful 7.9 amp motor to slice right through brick, stone and concrete. One very thoughtful safety feature on this handy unit that's of course used around water, is a GFI breaker that's permanently attached to the end of the plug.
Talk About a Light Wormdrive 7 1/4!
While all the other tool makers have been trying to figure out how to lighten their "affordable" standard 7 1/4 wormdrives, Makita has beat them all to the punch with their amazing 13.2 pound Magnesium Hypoid saw. They shed its weight, by converting to magnesium components. By the way they also have 10.6 pound mag saw.
Finally A Much Safer Beam Saw
The 16 5/8 Makita circular saw definitely takes the danger factor out of cutting thick beams. Face the facts; older style monster saws of this type are downright scary! So whats so different about this beast? How about a state of the art electric blade brake for quick stops and a more powerful 2,200 rpm motor for less risk of cut binding. At 32.1 pounds, it's also lighter too.
Is 6.2 Pounds Light Enough for You?
If you're really looking to shed some weight, the lightest of all Makita circular saw models for cutting wood, is their 6.2 pound 5 1/2 inch "sidewinder". Don't kid yourself either because this unit cuts 1 3/4, which is plenty deep to get through a 2x4. It's 8 amp motor also packs all the power you'll need. It's perfect for framing and pickup!
The Precision Plunge Style Makita Circular Saw
For clean, precision chip free cuts, Makita has two plunge saws in their lineup and they're both 6 ¼ inches. One comes with a mammoth 55" guide rail, and the smaller model has a standard sized deluxe style table. They're both also packed with wizz-bang features like multi operational blade speed control for both setting and maintaining blade speed.
