Only 6.0 lbs.
The 3,600 RPM motor is made by Makita and can cut and rip through wood faster.
For less operator fatigue, it only weighs 6.0 pounds with the battery (the battery is not included).
Keeps the line of the cut clean with a built-in dust blower for more accurate cuts.
It has a heavy gauge, precision-machined base for smooth, accurate cutting and extra strength. This tool is also very durable.
In this case, the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 5-3/8-inch is the best choice “In a small package, the Trim Circular Saw has the power of a cordless saw with less weight. When you buy just the tool, it comes with a Makita-made high-torque motor and 2 pieces of wood “It has a lot of cutting power, which makes it great for woodworkers and finish carpenters. Powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide battery, it’s part of Makita’s growing 18V Lithium-Ion series. This is the world’s largest line of cordless tools powered by a battery that slides. 18V lithium-ion batteries from Makita have the fastest charge times in their categories because they work more and don’t have to wait as long to be charged.
This little machine is great. To find out more about the smaller saws, I looked into them. I found that the specs said that they were limited in power, likely used a barrel grip, and used a different type of battery or cord. There are familiar trigger and rear circular saw grips on the Makita laser. It works with the LXT batteries I already have, and it can cut through 3/4 ply/osb and 2x4s with ease. It fits perfectly with the LXT set. I keep the subcompact drill, impact, recipro, and circular saw together so I can do quick jobs on the go. These adjustments are easy to make. The levers lock in place. The blade shown in the picture (Bad Blade BB550) adds about 1/16th of an inch to the height of the included blade. The Makita blade is 1/16th wide and the Bad Blade is 3/32. I thought that the space between the guard and the ejection port might cause clogs, but the port works so well that that worry is gone. People have already said that this is a good thing, but this is my favorite.
If you want to, you can use the 2.0ah LXT batteries. There was no need to press the button on the camera to make the cuts in the picture. The battery never dropped a bar. At that rate, I think this battery can last for about 200 or more cuts with it. You can hang it on a belt with this bettery because it’s small enough to do that.
Wish: Not so much a con as it is a desire.
A belt hook is something I’d like to have, but mostly because I’m a lefty, and hanging it on my left hip would be the best thing since they started making left-handed baseballs.
Another and another as long as they are made. In a brushless version, the motor would be smaller, the battery would last longer, and the weight of the belt hook would go down even more. Will get that, too. Makita did a great job on this.
