Overview

Makita lists this battery powered saw with a speed, a capacity, a weight and a high speed steel part, and nothing else. There is no description and no bullets, so its saw type is left open.

A cordless body avoids cords, and the speed and capacity figures give a basic sense of what it can cut. The limitation is that nothing says what kind of saw it is, what blade it takes or whether a battery ships.

Who it's for

A shopper checking a cordless saw against a short spec list can use the capacity and speed figures as a starting point. Users who need full contents should read the maker's page first.
