Makita HS7601

Advantages: Cast base, not heavy, well-made, large case, with the ability to store discs in the Makita HS7601K model

Disadvantages: Lack of dive indicator. Soft parallel stop

Comment: A regular saw blade is designed for fast cutting; for cutting plywood or chipboard, you need a blade with a large number of teeth.

Advantages: haven't found yet

Disadvantages: haven't found yet

Comment: where is the 4m cord? 2 meter cord. what kind of backlight? there is no her. you write characteristics from the bulldozer?

Advantages: I built a small house with her. Even despite the shortcomings, the second time (not without hesitation, of course) I would have bought the same model.

Disadvantages: 1. Several times accidentally turned on the engine while carrying. In addition to my carelessness, the location of the protection button against accidental activation (a paradox, yes!), Which you can accidentally press, also let down. Carry and grip the instrument correctly - by the small spread handle, not by the main handle. 2. Wing nuts too small for tilt adjustment. When working with gloves, it is difficult to twist and unscrew them. 3. There is no disc immersion depth scale. 4. Flimsy rip fence. And you look, it will bend.

Comment: I worked with another tool makita (plane), where there is a smooth start and maintaining the speed under load. These are just great things that a circular saw will definitely not interfere with. But these things are not on this model. I don’t make any disadvantages, because it is known even before the purchase of those. specifications. P.S .: There is a mistake in the description. Neither backlighting nor engine braking is assumed here.

Advantages: cuts 50 mm boards, both along and across without tension, even with nails, laminate, cuts like paper in general. For a clean cut, immediately buy a blade with a large number of fine teeth, because the regular disk leaves bad marks. the sole is not cast, but tough Assembled in the UK (which gives hope for the quality of the assembly of the internal mechanisms).

Disadvantages: no marking of the cutting depth (there is a regulator, but without a ruler, how much the disc will be immersed)

Comment: for household use and minor repairs / construction, which is called "for the eyes"

A great option for home, summer cottages, and for those people who like to do something with their hands. Quite light, you can cut vertically with one hand, but for personal safety I do not advise you to cut with one hand. The instrument is pleasantly in the hands, I hope the quality of Makita will not fail in the future. The start seems to be abrupt, it jumps slightly in the hands, but not critical, the cut in the wood with a regular disc is very even, it easily cuts off a millimeter edge without breaking. But if you cut slowly, pressing the disc to the end of the workpiece, then because of the high speed it "sets fire" the wood a little. For work where it is required to cut a lot of not very thick boards, lining, it seemed to me the very thing, before that I ordered a more powerful and heavy Makita, but it had to be returned immediately due to damage during delivery. Holding such a weight in my hands, I realized that the option was not for mobile work, when they blocked the roof, they already used the model to which I am writing a review, I thought more than once that it was even good that I returned the previous one.

Advantages: 1. Quality of materials and workmanship. 2. Thoughtful technological design. 3. Low weight with good performance. 4. The possibility of individual revision after the expiration of the warranty.

Disadvantages: Ill-conceived case. Took a complete set without it, but with add. disc (HS7601X1). A case is necessary, but too large for this saw. When you have all the necessary boxes for tools, they should be either universal and cost 500 rubles each, or be individual for each model of a saw or other tool and be compact !!! The case for this saw is good in quality, but there, in terms of volume, you can still lay a small sister saw. For non-commercial occasional use, this case takes up a lot of space. The same claims apply to the case for the jigsaw model 4329. The case for the 24th puncher is almost the same size as for the jigsaw. Oh, those marketers ...

Comment: I chose not 3-4 months, like some, but within a week! I chose between different manufacturers, not disdaining pure Chinese. The most versatile household saw was needed. The criteria for selection are like everyone else: cutting depth, weight, quality, technological sophistication. As a result, because of the weight / characteristics ratio, literally everything automatically disappeared ... The cost, as you understand, also has its value (up to 10 thousand) .In the end, I think that with a weight of 4 kg, a power of 1.2 kW, depth cut 66mm (in fact 67, the saw itself, if necessary, is easily "finished" to 70mm), cast base, convenient technological design (upgraded after warranty) and a price of 7490 rubles (HS7601X1 together with an additional disc) on 11/30/18 --- - the best option for neat home use. Yes, with a power of 1200 W, it is not for high-speed use, but find a weight of 4 kg more powerful with a molded base, a convenient form factor that I can work with one hand. The 5008MG model is also good, but the weight is already 4.8 kg (officially and 5.1 kg almost everywhere from the sellers) Depth 76 mm, but + 1 kg. I set myself the task of finding a saw with a cut of about 70 mm, weighing up to 4 kg inclusive, with a power of 1.5-1.6 kW, a cast base, a convenient technological design, but alas. This saw went through a small baptism of work and I really liked how we did it with her! :-) In general, since 2000, I prefer prof. tools from Bosh, but with saws at a cost of up to 10 thousand. they have nothing yet. If you want a super-clean cut, in addition to the disc for these purposes, you must set the cutting depth precisely for the thickness of the material you are going to cut. EDGE disc 56 teeth for laminate. He worked with furniture boards. The result is flawless.

Advantages: Relatively powerful, durable sole, nothing backlash, blows off sawdust tolerably

Disadvantages: Short cable, when biting the disc with a board, the gearbox bearing crumbles almost immediately

Comment: For sawing boards up to 50 mm. thick you can safely take.

Advantages: Build quality

Disadvantages: Not yet discovered

Comment: At first it seemed that there was no disc in the kit, it was hidden in a cardboard box. A gorgeous saw! There is no splitting tire on it. But in the experience of use I noticed that because of it there are a lot of problems. I'm happy like an elephant! I advise! The sound is clear, like a watch! The assembly is perfect! .The disk is mounted on a special washer for a hexagon, Compact, lightweight, ergonomic, in the hand like a glove! Initially I wanted to buy with a case, but there is no such one yet. And in the first place it is more convenient to store in the case, secondly, sand and other debris will not fall during storage, since the winding of circulars is not armored as on grinders, for example. Accordingly, the service life is shorter. But the price took its toll, I took this kit without a case. Advice, the saw is cool, I bought it for home and professional work, great experience, not an amateur ...

Advantages: Price, quality, assembly England, the sole is solid metal (not stamped or cast), rather thick - which is very important, since I took it for installation on the table. There were no problems with the mount.

Disadvantages: no

Comment: Sent quickly, the price is very reasonable, payment on the spot. There was no warranty card - I contacted support, they answered and sent a warranty card. Happy with the purchase.

Advantages: light, quiet, disc complete with solders on the teeth, the disc is clearly perpendicular to the sole

Disadvantages: no disc immersion scale

Comment: before that there was a saw skill of a similar model-burned out, took a makita HS 7601 the difference between a fret and a foreign car
