Makita HS7601J/2 240V 190mm Circular Saw Supplied in a Makpac Case

This saw, without hesitation, is the best I have used. Intended for cutting up to 60mm (according to spec), the saw is effortless to use and incredibly well made. I am in the process of reducing some solid 40mm doors to size and the difference between this saw and the previous old Ryobi I had is remarkable. Yes, the new blade helps (and should be changed regularly), but the way the power is delivered is superb. The blade cut guides on bevel and straight are accurate and the saw will cut a perfect line if used correctly. Packaging wise, the stackable box is well made and durable and for once is more than big enough to drop the tool into without fighting with the cable and accessories to get the box closed as per other tools I use. Electric cord is long enough for most applications and thick and well insulated. Changing the blade is straightforward and key tool is affixed securely to the saw body so always available. Plunge and bevel locks work well and very easy to operate. Whilst I have not used the larger model of this saw, I would assume that it would be excellent also and I am seriously considering purchasing for cutting larger timbers like sleepers etc. First class quality tool that you would expect from Makita.

good

I can't find anything not to like. Well balanced, light but powerful, 190mm. It has a nice quality cord which is long enough to be practical. It cuts well with the stock blade which is easily changed out. The shoe feels robust, is easy to adjust and without too much plastic. The case is excellent as always. If I was looking for fault then the fence feels a little insubstantial, they could get rid of any remaining plastic and the case liner supplied doesn't seem like a great fit for the saw. Also I took the Allen key off the saw to change the blade and have no idea where to put it back. So that could be more obvious. I'll get round to reading the instructions eventually and I'm sure it will become second nature in the end. Until then it's rattling round in the case.

What can I say about Makita? Probably one of the best tools in my price range

A good, powerful saw, but quite ferocious so handle with care!!! Wear ear-protectors!!

I have been cutting a lot of melamine coated furniture panels to make wardrobes and shelving and the guide that comes with this saw doesn't allow the width I needed so following advice on youtube I made some very simple straight line jigs, from plywood and a batten, and was able to cut the panels I needed very easily with this. With melamine it chips at the top though the bottom piece tends to be neater so (again advice on youtube) I made a tiny shallow cut into the melamine first before lowering the blade to cut right through. Keeping the blade as high as possible while still having enough blade to cut through makes it easier to cut. Initially I found I was burning the wood by having the blade set too low. The very sturdy storage box has plenty of room for keeping spare blades and other bits and bobs.

Bought a cheaper saw originally - when it arrived was disappointed at the inaccuracy of the bevel gauge (amongst other things). When adjusted flat (default) the gauge showed about 10 degrees instead of zero. So bought this 'bottom of the range Makita' for an extra £50 or so instead and the improved quality was immediately apparent. For something that you expect to be using for 20 years or so (it should see me out!) it is well worth the extra. Works like a dream and I put the second half of my fence up in a morning compared to 2 days sawing the planks manually for the first half. And they look a whole lot neater; why have I spent the last 30 years using manual tools?!

I really can't fault this. It's performed perfectly for months and never let me down. Cuts very straight freehand and perfectly when run alongside some sort of guide The supplied blade is quite course but actually great for rapid cuts. Get a blade with 80+ teeth for neat work or ply. Adjusting the blade depth is key to reducing splinters. If I was going to change anything (being very fussy here) * I'd engrave the offset measurements on to the base plate. I'm forever having to measure how far away I need to clamp my guide piece (of course this can depend on the blade width). * the slot to hold the allen key is useless - it just falls out. * Also the case is massively oversized - but I think that's because it stacks together with other makita tool cases.

Makita è sempre una garanzia. Tutto come da descrizione

La sierra es una herramienta sólida para trabajos básicos de carpintería. Su diseño compacto y peso ligero la hacen fácil de transportar y almacenar. Sin embargo, su capacidad de corte puede resultar limitada para proyectos más grandes y exigentes. La falta de características avanzadas, como un sistema de iluminación LED o un ajuste preciso de ángulos, podría decepcionar a usuarios profesionales. Además, algunos usuarios reportan que la calidad de construcción podría ser mejor. En resumen, es una opción adecuada para aficionados y trabajos de bricolaje ligero, pero puede quedarse corta para profesionales exigentes.

Nachdem mir die Bosch GKS54 gestohlen wurde, musste Ersatz her. Die Wahl fiel aufgrund des guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnisses auf diese Säge. Sie macht, was sie soll. :-) Schnitttiefe und -neigung lassen sich ohne Werkzeug verstellen. Schnitte entlang einer geraden Schiene (bei mir: Flachstahl 40 x 3 mm) sind auch schön gerade. Der Abstand zwischen Außenkante Grundplatte und Sägeblatt beträgt exakt 100 mm, was das Anlegen der Schiene deutlich vereinfacht. Bei der alten GKS54 war es noch ein krummes Maß. Das beigefügte Sägeblatt hat nur wenige Zähne und die Hartmetall-Plättchen sind recht klein. Die Schnitte in OSB-Platten und Fichtenbretter sind dennoch erschreckend glatt. Mal sehen, wie lange das Blatt hält. Nach reichlich 70 lfd. Metern durch 18er OSB-Platten schaut es noch gut aus. Über den Koffer braucht man wohl nix schreiben. Der ist gut und praktisch. Die Größe reicht für diverse Reserve-Sägeblätter und anderes Zubehör. Ich werden mir wohl noch eine zweite Säge kaufen und si als fest eingebaute Tischkreissäge "missbrauchen". klare Kaufempfehlung

Produit conforme et de qualité. Cette machine respire la qualité Makita. La boite de transport est un plus indéniable. Le tarif Amazon (145.51€ actuellement) est une bonne affaire. Cette scie produit des coupe de qualité et facilement. Le poids reste raisonnable et la machine est maniable avec une bonne prise en main. Le réglage de profondeur de coupe s'effectue en un tournemain par une languette vers l’arrière de la machine (entre la poignée et la lame). Le changement de lame est assez rapide à l'aide du bloqueur de lame (qui se trouve sous la poignée avant) et la clé fourni qui se loge sur la poignée de la machine. Le réglage d'angle de coupe est rapide (1 vis à l'avant et 1 à l'arrière) et le guide de coupe parallèle est bien fournis. Je l'utilise actuellement pour la coupe et le délignage de planche de 20mm en chêne sec et ça se passe très bien. Je vous conseil cette scie endurante et puissante.

Ideal para el bricolaje . Sería perfecta si pudiera poner guías
