saw is heavy, course w/ 2 batteries, but not in comparison to a worm drive. stops excellently quick, well engineered, of course it's Makita, amazingly small motor, yet Is Strong. narrower blade than I'm used to on regular saws, probably to reduce cut work energy use for battery life. @ 7 1/4" blade standard cut depth. mine did not come w/ a laser sight, would have been nice. Cut a number of test cuts to get familiar with blade placement in relation to the plate guide, so you can know which side of the line you'll be cutting on. Easy to work safety release but unfamiliar to me, takes some getting used to.

No need for corded saws anymore. Plenty of power, good cutting depth. With decent blade, it cuts as smooth as silk. Stock up on a few extra 5 amp hour batteries though, under heavy usage it will consume battery life. My saw had an unusual chirping noise upon startup, check another saw, same model, did the same thing--guess its normal. All in all, love this saw. It's time to get rid of my old craftsman c3 saw.

Plenty of power to spin the 7 1/4 inch blade threw just about anything. The saw does use up two 3.0 batteries fairly quick. With pretty heavy usage I get about 3 1/2 hours per charge. I build concrete swimming pools & everyone at work is very jealous! Get one today!

Runs like a champ, after buying batteries and charger elsewhere. Sawblade is wonderful, makes perfect cuts.

Great saw I had the single 18 volt version and though it was sufficient and light weight for most work this though a few pounds heavier is very powerful. This makes my makita 18v collection total around 15 devices. Also I totally love the LED portable work light that makita offers.
