 "Good tool" 2010-01-22
By B. Griffin (west branch MI)
I use these type of reviews to make buying decisions,so should pass on my thoughts. Great saw for timber beams. I did get better results with a freud carbide tip, thin kerf blade, but that is only to be expected versus non carbide blade. great ergonomics for holding saw. It is kind of heavy, but really just a large circular saw. The only issue, which is prob issue with any large saw, is that the act of setting the saw down, pushes on the blade adjustment plate, and after 30 or so cuts, needs a slight re squaring of the blade. Not a big deal, but i am sure it happens because of the heft of the saw. take a second and readjust and back in business with square cuts.

By R. Dare (San Francisco)
This is the only way to make smooth cuts on 6x material. I don't have too much trouble with the safety button as others have mentioned. A clamp down guide is a must for such a big saw. It kicks when starting so I hold it slightly away from the cut when turning it on. I find that covering the wood with a piece of wax paper makes it much easier to slide.

By Amy L. Nehls (Wisconsin USA)
My husband purchased this for building our log home... it was the only tool that could cut through the logs in 2 passes. My husband is quite picky and he was very pleased with it.

 "Big Saw For Big Cuts" 2009-01-07
By BJO (New England)
I purchased this saw to cut several 4x4 landscaping timbers to outline a driveway along with a variety of mulch beds. This saw is a beast. The two handles are definitely needed to control it. Positioning the saw to begin the cut and turning it on in conjunction with depressing the safety button is definitely a challenge as other reviewers have stated. However, once you develop a technique it becomes less burdensome. The saw does not have a soft start feature and will jerk when first turned on. It also is equipped with an electric brake which performs as expected. The 32 tooth stock blade is OK for rough cuts. The blade stabilizer is effective in preventing excessive runout. With the stock blade the saw will bog down if you force the cut and not let the tool do its job. But it still is a fine tool for making cuts on wood with such large dimensions. I constructed some jigs to make the alignments of my 90 and 45 degree cuts much easier. Please view this video to see the saw in action using one of these easy to make jigs. http://video.aol.com/video-detail/makita-beam-saw-cutting-with-jig/1638302903. If you have some large timbers or landscaping ties to cut, I would definitely recommend this saw.

This saw was the work horse for my new log home. It cuts through the 6by12

logs and beams with ease. I am still in the process of building my home

and would recommend this saw to anyone who is doing the same.

 "A quality electric saw." 2010-01-14
By Damon Z. Cassell (Salem, MA USA)
If you are wondering why this is so much more expensive than other electrics of the same size, that's because this is a very well made unit. Built in Germany, NOT China. I used it to chop up a bunch of junk that came down in a storm. No problems at all. Buy the right tool the first time...

 "All I'd hoped for" 2009-11-04
By Seany B. (Huntington, MA)
When my gas saw suddenly broke, I was in a pinch so I had this over-nighted in from Amazon. The saw came through with flying colors. This saw cuts just as well as my 42cc gas saw does. At 2600fpm the chain speed is not as fast, but the motor is so strong I can put more pressure on the blade and make cuts in the same amount of time- maybe even a little faster. That really surprised me. I made about 50 cuts on logs ranging from 6 inches to 15 inches. The last cut was as good as the first. Cutting 15 inch birch is a good test for this saw and it ate it right up. Harder woods were even easier to cut.



This saw would be impractical for felling and bucking trees with a lot of branches because of the cord. It would be excellent for occasional and emergency use around the home. This saw would be a good choice for commercial firewood if it's only being used to cut bucked logs down to firewood lengths.



And thanks to Amazon (and Fedex) for coming through with the overnight delivery when I really needed it. It cost a lot, but the product and the service came through to get the job done.

 "Good electric saw" 2009-10-27
By Richard Rock
After going through 3 other electric saws (the last 2 Troy Bilt TB4516CC's) in as many years, I moved up in price to this Makita. After a year with the Makita felling several large trees and cutting them into firewood, I am happy to report I can put my recommendation on this saw. It is higher in price than most other electric chain saws but it works, can handle large logs, cuts reasonably fast, and has stood up to my punishment. It cannot compete with good gas saws but I hate the noise, smoke, maintenance..... so started using electric saws several years ago. Was concerned after 3 very disappointing failures that I would not find an electric option so decided to try this relatively (to other electric saws) expensive Makita - and have been pleasantly surprised at the functionality and durability of this product. Hopefully this recommendation is not premature.... I feel pretty confident this Makita is a solid machine that will provide years of service.

 "Powerful" 2009-09-18
By Herman T. Kam
Ample power to cut 12" logs. I like the tool-less feature. You can make adjustments right on the spot without any other tool. No messing around with gas and oil mix and hard starting. Easy to take apart and clean without a tool.

I highly recommend it for home use.

 "a small woman can use this one" 2009-09-13
By Marie Kazalia (formerly San Francisco now Ohio)
After I had a professional tree service cut down two large maple trees growing too close to my house ( I hated to have them cut down but had no choice, the branches were touching the roof and some of the high branches were so heavy they were splitting and falling) The tree service guys *bucked it up* for me, which means they cut the branches and trunk up into pieces. I wanted the wood to burn in my fireplace. Many of the pieces too large, and needed further cutting. I ordered the Makita chainsaw, after reading consumer advice online. My first time trying to cut wood and use a larger chainsaw, (I have a small battery chainsaw for pruning), the Makita chainsaw cut right thru the 10 inch thick branches fast and easy. But when I tried to cut up the larger pieces of the tree trunk I apparently dulled the chainsaw blades. The cutting was not so easy and it got to the point where I could not cut even a small branch, the chainsaw blades got so dull. So after just a few hours of use over a couple weeks time i had to stop using the chainsaw and order a new chainsaw chain, which Amazon has for $21.--but I have not received yet. I did not expect the chain blades to dull so fast. I was just cutting wood. I don't know if the User manual for this chainsaw gives any guidance on how to avoid dulling the blade, or if it is possible to have the chain blades sharpened, like the large gas chainsaw blades can be...or if I will have to buy a new chain every month. I purchased the last one in stock at Amazon (so not a good indication). I had wanted to order two at once....

Perhaps with further use I will learn how to use the chainsaw and cut the wood without dulling the chain blades so fast. Also, the oil well runs out fast and has to be refilled frequently while cutting-- this contributes to dulling the blades, if the oil is out and you don't notice immediately. So it is necessary to check the oil level frequently...
