  • Great review, Alan.

    How 'safe' do you find the saw, as it's designed without a riving knife?

    Also, is there an option for a side fence, as you would find as standard with any non-plunging circular saw?

  • @OllyPJ Hi Olly, I am sure this is as safe as any other portable saw. I have previously been using a Skil Orca which has no riving knife without any problems, particularly as the type of material these saws are designed for are mostly panels which are unlikely to twist as they are cut. You can fit a side fence though using the guide rail is a far quicker and more accurate option.

  • Bought this with complete kit after careful consideration. Wow! Any serious carpenter or shopfitter should have one! Cutting veneer is done perfectly.

  • This is really impressive :) I am going to buy one for sure now.

  • Great review. Have you tried the new Bosch GKT55CE Plunge Saw? This is another very nice piece of kit, probably closer in quality to a Festool than the Makita.

  • I've had this saw for over a year now and find it truely to be an awesome saw with out the Festool price. Have not had to adjust any depth or angle setting yet still dead on since day one. Had to replace the rubber stripping on the rails after using the router with it.
