Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This circular saw is specifically designed for cutting fiber-cement materials. Your jobsite will stay clean; thanks to this saw’s dust collection container that captures waste while you work. And, thanks to the dustproof bearings and switch Makita put on this saw, this tool will last longer, too. With this versatile saw, you’ll cut up to 1-1/16-inch at 90 degrees. The electric brake means you’ll stop on a dime. A removable dust container and shaft lock let’s you change blades fast. And if you’re concerned with tool noise, Makita has hushed this saw down to just 84 decibels for quieter operation. Your purchase includes a hex wrench, guide rule, and a carbide tipped blade designed especially for cutting fiber-cement materials.

This review is from: Makita 5044KB 4-Inch Circular Saw with Dust Collector (Tools & Home Improvement)

What a perfect tool for cutting Hardi-Backer, sheetrock, and thin boards. Easy depth setting, good dust collection (especially when hooked to a vacuum with the built dust port), and lightweight. Need to cut out a section of drywall without going too deep? Set the depth, mark the wall, and start cutting. Much faster than any other tool. Wish it had a case for it, but oh well. Can't have everything!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best saw for specialty remediation, December 20, 2002

This review is from: Makita 5044KB 4-Inch Circular Saw with Dust Collector (Tools & Home Improvement)

Our company has been using this saw for several years with great results. In an environment where low dust is tolerated this is the saw to use. We use it with metal cutting blades and have acheived great results.
